Clay teachers protest contract snag

BRAZIL, Ind. (AP) A union leader said teachers would return to Clay Community Schools today after staying home a day to protest progress on contract negotiations. Jerry Morgan, head of the teachers’ association, said 95 percent of the system’s 277 teachers did not report to work Monday, closing nine schools in Brazil, Staunton, Van Buren and Clay City. Teachers have been working about six months without a contract. Forrest Buell, president of the school board, disagreed that the schools were closed. He said principals at those facilities and some teachers were on the job. Buell said he had no idea how many teachers did not report to work although he called it “a goodly number. “A number of teachers have called in sick” and others used regular days off rather than report to work, he said

South Putnam to the 1982 budget and he said he agrees with the need to provide a solid basic education. “WE TOO IN VOCATIONAL education want students who have good reading skills and good writing skills,” he explained. “But employers want more than general education. No longer can basic education provide the vehicle for employment.” Main, who had raised the issue on Dec. 7, reaffirmed his view that the board should re-evaluate participation in the cooperative. “I don’t want to argue with anyone. I’m sure vocational education is a good program, but I think the board needs to look at some things,” he said. “He (Archer) said they are going to expand. Then it’s going to cost more and more. I’m firmly convinced that the purpose of public education is to teach basic education, not trades.” MAIN ALSO URGED the board to question what he termed the “real results"

of student participation in the cooperative, adding that the results are “not as clearly exemplary” as statistics cited by Archer. The board left the matter without reaching any conclusions. Landes, who had commented on the issue previously, was unable to attend Monday night’s meeting. In other business, the board unanimously approved parent-teacher textbook adoption committees, as submitted by Hammond. The elementary committee includes two teachers, Bruce Bernhardt and Connie Huber, and three parents, Beth Glaze, Carole Anderson and Zoe Marshall. THE HIGH SCHOOL committee will consider textbook adoption for vocational agriculture, home economics, art, music and driver education. The panel includes 11 teachers ~ Larry Bottorff, Midred Sonnefield, Barbara Weber, Bruce Bernhardt, Scott Miller, William Merkel, Dale Brown, Rhema Gobert, Phyllis Rokicki, DeAnn Deßoer and Carl Coons - and five parents -

The school board president also said he was unaware of a specific job action, although Morgan noted the teachers gathered in Brazil. “They have not told us what they are doing,” Buell said. He would not comment whether the school board would take punitive action if the teachers were actually involved in a job action. But he said board members would “take a long look at that and consider the damages” in making any such decision. Teachers and school board members disagree whether a tentative agreement was reached late last month. Teachers association officials said a tentative agreement was reached with board negotiators but was rejected by the board. Buell said teachers announced that decision, but no school board officials ever agreed to it because their budget would not stretch as far as the teachers wanted.

The board took under advisement a request from a group of South Putnam students that the high school baseball field be improved and named in honor of Barry Maybaugh, a South Putnam student who passed away last fall. The committee of students proposed to pay half the cost of improvements and installation of a plaque, if the corporation would pay the remainder. Board members agreed to look into the proposal further. The board heard a brief report from Hammond on the percentage of attendance at parent-teacher conferences conducted at the three elementaries. Hammond said 84 per cent of parents participated in conderences at Belle Union, 90.2 per cent at Fillmore and 45 per cent at Reels ville. PRESENT FOR MONDAY night’s session were board members Ron Cook, Sherman Hacker, Lloyd Hayes and Don Spencer.
