Continued from Page Al

‘Act hurriedly passed at the end of
-the recent legislative session cuts

five days off the end of the spring

‘school term. This will: save the

district’ approximately $350,000

in wages for teachers and other

staff, but a preliminary estimate ’
by .secretary-treasurer. Ross
Ingram: indicated. that- over the
full year of 1983 a. further
$400,000 would have to be saved.

The~ school . act. -amendment
took away the board’s authority
to lay off teachers: during the
year, except with the consent of
the minister. so all the savings
might have to be made in the four
months ‘from. September’ to
December next year, which could
be done by laying off another 31
teachers.

These’ calculations make. ‘no
allowance for the fact. that the
board and the teachers are about

to begin negotiating 1983 salary
~“Jevels. The government has. not

changed’ any of. the bargaining:
rules, so if no agreement can be
reached salaries will-be settled by
an arbitration. board over which
neither the school: board nor the
provincial government: has any.
control.

In’ -the  unlikley -event -that
salaries are reduced, the. board’s
problem may be solved, but if
salaries are ‘increased* then .the
problem becomes,worse.

There is also a‘ possibility that

new Education Minister, “Bill:
Vander | Zalm,- might. ease
restrictions. for. Saanich district
because it has one of the lowest.
 per- capita. school costs in’ the
- province. “He has” already done»
ethis for Delta district; which was
ony slightly lower than Saanich.:

“Another possibility is that the a

province might allow: increased

an » spending | provided. that all the.

‘added - cost
_. property ‘owners.
ays: present: indications é are: that
this will not be allow Sd

is” borne” ‘by. local’
