School Board
Meeting
At the request of the Huntley Sdiool Board the Farmside did not publish the proposal made by the board to the teachers regarding sal¬ ary and other lienefits until after ^Ifae taacfaera htai rMeiaad d»ra and had an opportunity to discuss them with the board.
"This discussion was scheduled for last night's meeting. We are, there fore, publishing the proposal sub¬ mitted to the teachers on March 4.
A motion was made l^- Mr. Zim¬ merman, seconded by Mr. Lamb to propose a $900.00 irra-ease across the salary schedule, revise the fun eral policy of the school to conform with the state law, grant the teach¬ ers one day personal leave, and {lermit a new teacher coming into the school to maintain a maximum of 10 years teaching experience on the salary schedule. The vote upon the motion was 7 "yeas."'
The teachers had previously re¬ quested an $800 raise frran $5700 to $6500 basic. The board increased this to $6600. The teachers had re¬ quested two days absence with full pay to conduct personal business, the board provided one day, plus funeral benefita to comply with tfae state law. These funeral benefits include immediate family, plus those living in the same household. Immediate family consists of moth¬ er and father sister, brother, wife husband and children, plus anyone living under the same roof. It does not itKlude in-laws, and grandpar¬ ents as the present funeral policy does.
The teadiers had requested hos¬ pital insurance, the board turned down this proposal. The teachers asked for $3.00 per hour for extra duties such as selling tickets and parking lot duty. The beard de¬ cided to try to hire help other than teachers for these duties.
¦The teachers a^ed for the defi¬ nition of a normal teaching load with extra pay fw teachers with additional responsibilities. The board did not present a proposal on this point.
"The teachers requested a defi¬ nition of credits beyond a B. S. de¬ gree that would qualify them for (payment on a higher schedule. The board will take this up later and did not present any proposal at the March 4 meeting.
The board voted to allow new teachers coming into the system a maximum of 10 years experience on the salafy sdiedule.
