As the water started to bod in our coffee maker and head up for dnp-typ- e a marriage wuth the new roffee, it was almost music to the ears.

One day of the eight is for personal leave If this day of personal leave is not used during the year, it will accrue as accumulative sick leave. Leave may now be accumulated to 130 days. When a teacher retires or leaves the district he will be paid $7 00 for each day of accumulated leave he has to his credit. cy advocated A heated discussion regarding the summer school program was held. The CCEA wanted (1) teaching positions for summer school filled by teachers regularly employed by the district, (2) positions filled by teachers according to competence, major and minor fie'ds, teacher performance, teacher attendance record, and seniority in the district. Seniority was to be the deciding factor. The board agreed with everything but the fact that seniority should be the deciding factor. Lonn Bailey stated that These jobs are passed out by the secondary supervisor as a reward for friendship. It was finally decided to delete the seniority be the determining factor clause and add educators will be employed on a rotation basis when possible. The board and the CCEA met at 10 a m. Tuesday to exchange salary proposals and another negotiation meeting was held that same evening. In its proposal, the CCEA Seeks a $1000 index raise and the board countered with an offer of $600, in all categories dropping the index procedure. At the Tuesday night meeting, Board Member James Young opened by saying The board feels that it would like to give everything that is possible and responsible to give. Superintendent J. Grant Kilfoyle stated that Carbon has the lowest beginning teachers salary in the state and that this needs to be raised so Carbon can be more competitive in gaining new teachers. He stated that the board feels that the index here is too high. He said that it is one of the highest indexes in the state. Adding that the two or three other districts that have a 160 index do not have the major ity of their teachers in the higher levels of the salary scale as Carbon does. The CCEA took the position that the starting teacher salary is too low, but that tbeie are enough funds to keep the index and raise the lower levels, too. Robert Milano said that he didnt think the lower levels should be raised while the upper levels remain stagnant. Kilfoyle state. This (the CCEA sched-u'e- ) would by far be the highest in the state. It would be wonderful if we could do it. Milano replied, The money is there. Milano stated that this district would be a training ground for teachers if the beginning salary is raised and the index not kept. He stated that teachers wou'd come here for the high beginning salary and leave in two or three years to go where the pay for the higher lanes is better. He stated that to reduce the index was to go against the trend. Milano stated, We think the district is We want trying to hide money from us to know what money has been spent . . .
