UTAH THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1965 School Board and Teachers Fail to Reach Salary Accord satisfactory settlement of teacher contracts in Box Elder County Schools seemed to be at a standstill Tuesday night following a closed meeting of the Box Elder Education Association Monday night when a unanimous decision was made to' refuse the latest offer of the Board of Education. A Previous meetings between the board and the teacher's as- sociation have resulted in both groups drawing the lines of terms necessary to come to a unity of the problem- Financially, the Box Elder School District has been in dist.ess the past two years, with loss of funds due to heavy drop out of students, who have left the county in the past year. Also the federal government has demanded the refund of $288,000, due to conflict in privilege taxes and income through Public Law 874 for federally impacted areas. The board had previously offered a contract with an "if" in it, which the teacher association has rejected. That "if" was the uncertainty of the state returning $77,000 from the state's share of federal funds given this county, which in turn, has been used by the uniform school fund. At first it was anticipated this money might be returned later in the year, with the promised raise retroactive to the beginning of the school year. The teachers wanted a guarantee of this raise, with the board taking the attitude they didn't want to pledge money they didn't have. Following the resolution made at the Monday evening meeting of the county educational association, the school board met in executive session Monday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. before making a public statement Following is schedule B as presently offered to teachers in the county. A comparison of the schedule of last year can be found in the school board financial report in this issue. New Salary Schedule B. S. 30 Ad Hrs M.

Wednesday Meeting Fails The problems confronting the Board of Education and the Box Elder Education Association on the renewal of contracts and the opening of schools of the district on schedule were aired at a lxk hour meeting Wednesday morning. The full quorum of the members of the Board of Education were present with members of the office staff, and the Box Elder Education Association being represented by Darel Johnson, president of Brigham City: and Keith Johnson, chairman of salary committee, Bear River City. Representatives of the press were also present. President Jay Dee Harris presided at the meeting. The resolution made Tuesday by the board was read by Morgan Hawkes, and a tape recording of a meeting held Tuesday evening with the State Board of Education, reviewed by question and answer, the financial condition of the Box Elder School District, as some members of the state board were on a committee which investigated the operation of tin district, at the request of Super intendent J. C. Haws. The report was very .favorable to the operation of the local district, as to salary, additional funding, insurance and family support, with comparisons made with surrounding districts. The representatives of the County Education Association stated they were not empowered to make definite agreements with the board, but asked for an answer to their resolution of Monday evening. They also made the statement that at previous meetings, different figures of the budget and accounts had been given. Darel Johnson, in commenting on the tape release, stated it was the desire of the teachers of the district to make this the top district in the state and felt the in many ways, teachers were also entitled to top salaries for their efforts. Figures of salary schedules, reinstatement of services which have been curtailed, possible extra funds, and past action of the txiard were discussed. The teachers asked the board for a written copy of the present offer which was refused. This is a copy of the resolu-flrj-h passed Monday evening by the Box Elder Education As- sociation: RESOLUTION During the entire summer of 1965 the Salary and Executive Committee have earnestly sought in a series of conferences with the Superintendent of schools and the Board of Education to develop employment agreements mutually acceptable to the members of the association and school board. When these efforts failed the association and school board . submitted the matter of developing an acceptable contract to a special committee consisting of three members from the state school office and two members from the U.E.A., all of whom had no direct connection with the district or its . personell. After careful analysis of the finances of the district and of other facts relating to conditions of employment of the instructional personnell that committee recommended to the school board of Box Elder School District and to the Box Elder Education Association that there was available for allocation for salaries of instructional personnell, $163,000 which should be added to the salary schedule in effect for the school year 1964-6The salary committee and executive board accepted the recommendation of the committee, the school board refused to consider it. It is the consensus of the membership of the B E. E. A. that the recommended employment contract was eminently fair. Now therefore be it resolved by the members of the B.E.E.A. in special meeting assembled on the 23rd day of August 1965, that the board of education of Box Elder County be informed that the members are willing to enter into contracts of emwith the school dis6 trict for the school year upon contracts providing terms and conditions similar to those in effect for the school to inmodified year 1964-6clude salaries reflecting the recommended increase in salaries recommended by the specployment 1965-19(1- 5 committee. it further resolved that be advised the school board that the members of the B.E. ial Be E.A. do not consider the con- tract proposed by the Board of Education Acceptable. NO. 49 BOX ELDER COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT August 24, 1965 The Box Elder County School District Board of Education met Tuesday at 1:00 P.M. in the School Board Office to review that which had transpired concerning salary negotiations with the Box Elder Education Association. The Board of Education's position with the Box Elder Education Association this year has always been: 1) that it would levy to the maximum, which it has done and which includes a 3 additional Mill Levy, 2) it would pay off all past . indebtedness 3) it would reinstate services that had been cut over the past two years in attempting to overcome a deficit, and 4) after taking care of items 2 & 3 above, it would then apof available monies to ply 74 upgrading the professional salary schedule. The Board made the offer to the Box Elder Education Association of a new salary schedule which moved the base pay from $4,500 to $4,700, plus $334 average per teacher in the form of insurance and dependency allowance, which makes a total minimum average salary of $5,034, and the maximum for a B.S. Degree from $7,104 to $7,404, plus $334 average per teacher in the form of alinsurance and dependency lowance, making a total maximum average salary of $7,738. The Box Elder Education Association responded by saying that it would accept this new salary schedule on the basis it would be confirmed immediately by the Board rather than waiting to see if the $77,000 was forthcoming. The Board felt, however, that "if" still must remain because of the uncertainty of receiving the $77,000. The Box Elder Education Association, therefore, held another mass meeting Monday night where in it rejected the Board's proposal for the second time and increased its demands from the $103,000 salary appropriation offered by the Board a $163,000 figure. This $163,000 figure had been suggested by a committee made up of the State Department of Public Instruction and the UEA Office. However, the $163,000 figure would not allow for the reindeleted stating of previously expenditures in that it excludes appropriations made by the Board of Education for the purchase of the replacement of textbooks, library books, equipment and the repair of buildings, custodial services, vocal music .accompanists, and full a restoration In summary. Superintendent Haws stated that the board had not accepted the resolution of He the teacher organization. asked teachers to accept the offer made with the "if" removed, and renewed the promise of the board that teachers would receive 74' of any new funds received. bc He asked that teachers advised of this action and if a ho nviss meeting is called, would like to attend and present some of the figures which ' Continued on back page of librarians. If the Board were to accept the $163,000 figure as proposed by the Association the amount appropriated for the afore mentioned items would have to le deleted from the budget and these monies placed into professional salaries. Wortl was received this morning. Tuesday, that tha State had confirmed the payment to the District of the $77,000 that was in question a few days nfio. Continuca 0,1 back PaKe |
