Time rules school talks
Ottawa teachers and the school board remain split over pay and calendar changes after a negotiating session. The main obstacle is the number of teaching days, with impasse status due Friday if no agreement is reached. The teachers offered a 4.253 percent raise and new money of 135,594.29, while the board proposed 3.96 to 4.04 percent raises and 126,195 to 128,687 in new money. The board’s lawyer John Dowell will bring offers to the June 11 meeting, as teachers seek a final agreement with authority to finalize it. The calendar changes aim to boost contact hours, including converting one prep day and adjusting in-service days and conferences. The problem of board versus non-board negotiating leadership continues to be discussed, with ratification still required by both sides.
