After several months of meetings with representatives from the Uintah County Education Association (UCEA) and various teacher groups, the school board ratified teachers' contracts for the coming year, during a special meeting Thursday, Aug. 2. Lyle Gillman, head negotiator for the UCEA, voiced concerns of area teachers over clause nine in the proposed pro-posed contract and over pay for teachers who supervise extracurricular extra-curricular activities. Most of the area teachers were uncomfortable un-comfortable with the second sentence of clause nine in their contracts. The clause "sticks in their craws," Gillman said. The clause states that a "teacher further agrees to attend and participate par-ticipate in all programs and meetings that may be required of the teacher by the Uintah County School District Senate committee passes wilderness bill for Utah By unanimous vote, the Senate Energy and National Resource Committee Com-mittee Wednesday approved the Utah wilderness bill after deleting approximately approx-imately 1,500 acres in the Mount Olympus Olym-pus area, where helicopter skiing is allowed. The use of helicopter skiing in designated wilderness areas was a major concern of environmentalists when the bill was accepted by subcommittee subcom-mittee several weeks ago. To compensate compen-sate for the reduction in Mount Olympus Olym-pus the committee added I.OoO acres in Butler Fork Just east of Mount Olympus. The latest revision to the much debated wildrTWus proposal came from the tuggeUon of Sen, Jake Cam's office.

In addition, Gillman presented to the board members that some of the teachers involved in extra-cirricular activities would have prefered the extra ex-tra salary paid for the participation on a percentage basis, rather than a flat fee. By being paid on a percentage basis the extra pay would increase as salaries are increased. Under the terms of the present contract, con-tract, coaches of major sports, including in-cluding basketball, football and wrestling, are paid an additional $1,400 for participation while assistants are paid $800. For minor sports such as girls' volleyball and girls' basketball, head coaches are paid an additional $1,000 and assistants $500. Track head coaches and boys' baseball head coaches are given $700 July 30 with Timothy Mahoney of the Sierra Gub and Carta Kish of the Wilderness Society. Tom Wagner, an aide wish Sen. Cam's Washington office, said the recent re-cent change should help clear the way for the bill's passage. Throughout the entire time the bill has been debated, which is nearing a year, Sen. Gam's office has been in constant cor-repondence cor-repondence with Mahoney and Kish. They have aLso talked to spemal intern! in-tern! groups such as Wasatch 1 'owder Birds, ho provided the helicopter skiing. Mosl groups seem to be relatively happy with the latest changes in the till.

Yearbook, gymnastics and flag heads are paid $500. Gillman also brought up that a better bet-ter method of negotiation on contracts between teachers and the school board members should be devised. He suggested sug-gested the possibility of members of UCEA meeting once a month with the school board. Members of the school board took the suggestions of UCEA under advisement advise-ment and adjourned to an executive session. Members discussed the suggestions sug-gestions for approximately one half hour before agreeing to the teachers' request to drop the second sentence from clause nine of the contract. Final terms of the contract allow for a 4.3 percent salary increase for teachers and maintaining the $600 bonus paid to teachers and school employees Ariz., chairman of the House Interior Committee and Dale Bumpers, D-Ark. Sen. McGure is blocking a floor vote on the Arizon bill to force Rep. Udall to drop his objections to the Idaho bill which Rep. Udall contends doesn't contain enough wilderness acreage. Bumpers is opposing the Utah bill until un-til his Arkansas wilderness bill can get through committee. With less than five weeks in the 98th congressional session, it is unlikely that the wilderness bill will be formally formal-ly passed In 1984. The House version of the l'la r !Ll has been approved by the Interior Subcommittee Sub-committee on Iublic Lands. The full committee will not take any action until un-til Ihe Senate passes its version. One of ihe major obstacles to ihe Utah bill was resolved before Congress adjourned for a three week recess In July. The controvery stemmed from the discovery of cabon dioxide fields in Ikix Death Hullo and an oil and gas field on the north slope of the High L'intas.

The school board will pick up the extra ex-tra cost incurred due to inflationary factors. The teachers had asked for but were denied dental insurance. Copies of the policies and procedures pro-cedures manuals will be placed in each of the schools within the district. Extra-curricular pay for instructors at the high school will be awarded on a flat rate depending on the individual activity. The pupil-teacher ratio will remain the same whenever possible. Suggested Sug-gested ratios are 25 students per teacher for grades kindergarten through second grade, 27 students per teacher for grades third through seniors. Teachers requested that classrooms not exceed 30 pupils per teacher. Other requests that were originally asked for by teachers but were denied by the school board members are duty du-ty free lunch hours for teachers and buying back of sick leave. The UCEA felt that the buying back of sick leave would encourage professionals to increase in-crease the number of accumulative sick days and would also encourage teachers to remain in the district for longer periods of time. At the meeting, school board president presi-dent Gary Taylor stated that school board deeply appreciates the job area teachers are doing in school system. He said that the board saw was necessary to raise the base pay of teachers in order to insure the high quality of teachers they they presently present-ly have in Uintah School District.
