The accepted package also in- cluded a $1,000 increase in life in- surance as well as a nominal in- crease for department chairpersons and elementary building coor- dinators. °° The district also increased the Blue Cross-Blue Shield coverage to include dependent students up to the age of 23 years. ’ Increases also were included for the extra-curricular, coaching and advisors salaries. “Maybe I should list the requests we didn’t get,” said Turner, *‘ They would probably cover most of the page in the paper.” Turner explained that the district must first comply with Title IX, the equal rights stipulation, before the teachers qualify for the increases. In order to comply with Title IX, the district had to increase some coaching salaries and also create some new positions.

State Mediator Anthony Andriole, Hazleton. Representatives of the association and the board's negotiating committee had held numerous meetings without coming to an agreement.

Following that meeting, Ms. Pyle, president of the association, said that some progress had been made and both parties were hopeful that a joint agreement would be reached in the near future. Allen Sorchik, member of the Lake-Lehman school board negotiations committee, also reported previously that he was confident that an amicable agreement could come out of the Aug. 18 meeting. Whether or not the latest proposal will be accepted will be determined at the Aug. 25 LLEA meeting.
