TTT TIITIO SESE "A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, December 17, 1991 - 5 Separate school teachers reject Board's latest offer Teachers from the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separ- ate School Board voted 62 per cent against the latest offer ta- bled by the board. As a result of this rejection, members of the school. board are threatening to strike. The final offer of the board provided for a 4.5-per cent in- crease effective Sept. 1, 1991 and a further one-per cent in- crease effective Feb. 1, 1992. It also provided for certain im- provements in staffing and working conditions, in a one- year collective agreement effec- tive Sept. 1, 1991 to Aug. 30, 1992. The offer would raise the av- erage secondary school teach- er's salary from $51,330 to $54,153, with a maximum in- $62,634. Sixty per cent of the present teachers have already received increases averaging $1,900 this year. "The board believes its offer to be a fair one under the present economic conditions and while itis the board's inten- tion to avoid unnecessary dis- ruption of service, the board re- mains solidly committed to being fiscally responsible," the release said. It also stated that it believes the teachers' demands for in- creases in salaries and staffing "to be excessive and financially unrealistic."
