School Board, SEA Agree
On Most Points In Contract
it> The Shelton School Board and
the Shelton Education Associa-
tion negotiating team reached
agreement on almost aU points,
in their negotiating session Tues-
day night.
The SEA team informed the
board the salary schedule on
which the two groups had agreed
last week had been acceptecl by
SEA membership.
The final thing to be settled
on the salary schedule, the steps
on which the compensation for
extra curricular activities would
be based, was decided Tuesday
night.
The two points which remain
unresolved and on which the two
groups take opposite opinions are
the proposal by the SEA for m
outside arbitration committee as
the final step in the grievance
policy and whether or not the
SEA has the right to negotiate for
administratiye salaries whether
the administrators want them to
or not.
The grievance policy question
was discussed at length during
the Tuesday night session.
The two groups have agreed
on other steps proposed in the
grievance policy, but, the board
stated flatly they did not think
it would be proper to call in an
outside committee to made a
decision which the board, by
law, mtLt make.
The SEA had proposed a final
step in the procedure in which
the school board and SEA would
eacll name one member to an
"advisory committee" and then
these two would name a third
member acceptable to each.
Board member Tom Weon
questioned whether or not a com-
mittee as proposed could be form-
ed. He commented that each side
would undoubtedly name some-
one whom they thought would
agree with their position.
"How would you get Dean Pal-
mer and Frank Heuston to agree
on a third member," Weston ask-
ed.
The cond point on which
there has been no agreement did
not come up at the meeting Tues-
day night.
At the previous meeting the
SEA team had read a legal
opinion which stated that the
SEA had the right to negotiate
for administrative salaries.
The board, at that time, stated
they wanted to get an opinion
from their attorney before doing
anything.
The iwo groups agreed to set
a date for another meeting at
a later time, but, no specific
date was set.

Holiday.

holiday schedule with no rural or
city deliveries. Mail will arrive
at and leave the Post Office and

ed, along with those in Thurston,
Grays tIarbor, Pacific and Lewis
counties, to form the new dis-
trict.
Location of headquarters for
,the enlarged district will be se-
lected at a later date. Goodpaster
and the other county superintend-
ents will be given positions in the
new district until their elected
terms expire.
The action of the state board
was the result of a mandate by
the 1969 legislature calling for
consolidation of county school di
tricts into a lesser number of
intermediate districts. There cur-
rently are 36 county school of-
rices and intermediate districts
among the state's 39 counties.
The state board reduced this num-
ber to 14 intermediate districts.
Although the new districts, in
most cases, follow county lines,
there are some exceptions. In
the new district which includes
Mason county, the North Mason
school district has been excised
and included in the new district
comprised of Clallam, Jefferson
and Kitsap counties.
The Pacific county districts of
Naselle and Ocean Beach have
also been excluded and the Jef-
ferson county districts of Queers
and Clearwater added.
