increment represents an average increase of slightly under 8 percent this offer takes into ac count the increase in the cost of living during the pist year and provides ad ditional increases as well the teachers are demanding a further increase of at least 120000 for the leaching year 197273 of which 50000 would be applicable to the calendar year 1972 the board salary committee has in dicated that it is not in a position to move further in terms of the total dollar value of the present offer mrs m odonnell chairman of the board com mittee emphasized that this position is based on serious consideration of the budget implications and expenditure ceilings for the calendar vears 1972 and 1973 the board is anxious i o continue negotiations but sees no way of making a greater sum available for salary increases and therefore hopes that the teachers will reconsider their request in the light of the financial restrictions under which the board must operate collect 1320 donations to the
