JOINT HOUSING COMMITTEE

A Joint Housing Committee was established to consider solutions to the problem of
inadequate and expensive housing in some parts of School District No. 1.  An area of
particular concern is the housing situation in Elkford.  In November, at least six teachers
at Elkford Elementary School are considering the termination of their assignments because
of high rental costs.

RESTRAINT PROGRAM
Old/new executive members met with Mr. Coffin, Superintendent of Schools, and Mr.
Van Eynde, Secretary-Treasurer, on Wednesday, June 9th to discuss budget reductions. 
The FDTA has struck an ad hoc committee that will work over the summer months
developing strategies for responding to the restraint program.

PRESIDENT'S RELEASE TIME
At the June 9th meeting with Mr. Coffin, it was stated that the president's release time
should be covered by a part-time teacher rather than a substitute teacher.  This may mean
a small increase in our association's membership fees.
