FISCAL RESTRAINT PLAN FROM SCHOOL BOARD
August 31 meeting resulted in the School Board presenting the following five options:
1.	Salary rollback of 7%
2.	Less teaching days with no pay for days off
3.	Termination
4.	Combination of the above
5. 	No Action

BILL 89
This fiscal restraint bill was introduced in September, 1982.  The legislation does away
with all paid non-instructional days.  Teachers lose twice in 1983.  First, five days are
deducted from salaries by the shortening of the school year in June.  Secondly, teachers
will work longer days to make up for the ones that are lost in June.

TIGHT CLASSROOM SCHEDULE ARRANGED FOR START-UP
Two separate schools will exist in Sparwood Secondary for the start of the school year. 
Sparwood Secondary students will attend classes from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and
Elkford Secondary students will attend classes from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.  Five 50-minute
periods per day or four 60-minute periods are under consideration.  The situation will
remain until the construction lockout is over and Elkford Secondary School is completed. 
The secondary school is expected to be finished three weeks after construction resumes.
