b)) 7 Si w = 4 Sy A The Dallas Post Teachers (continued from page 1) may keep in contact with mediator James Paley. If both sides accept’ the fact finder's report, his recom- mendations become the settle- ment. If one or the other side does not accept the report, DiLauro's report will be published. If this happens, the teachers could not strike for another 10 days, until October 30, or if they desire, both sides could continue to negotiate with the assistance of Paley. While represdentatives of the district and the teachers say they hoped negotiations could continue if a settlement is not reached, one teacher is not so optimistic and believes that if the district stands firm on the time length, it could mean the first teachers strike in the Lake-Lehman School District. “I never thought I would see a strike in the Lake-Lehman Dis- trict,” said the teacher who asked to remain anonymous, “But the teachers can be pushed only so far. I hope a settlement can be reached because a strike will hurt our students.” Lake-Lehman salaries lag behind others In order to give readers a gen- eral idea how Lake-Lehman teach- ers salaries compare to those of other districts the above chart shows the annual salaries of five levels in Lake-Lehman as com- pared to Dallas and Wyoming Val- ley West School Districts. Since the Lake-Lehman teach- ers contract has not been settled the latest salaries available were those of 1988-1989 while Dallas and Wyoming Valley West have @ their 1989-1990 salary schedules. Dallas Education is in the final year of their five-year contract while Valley West recently settled a new contract. In order to make Lake- Lehman's more comparable, ifeight percent increase is added to those salaries above, the total salary for each degree and salary step would be B+27 $25,639; M+6 $30,499; M+24 $37,134; B+24 $21,211; and M+30 $36.486. It should be noted that in the Lake-Lehman salary schedule, there is no salary increase between salary step 15 and 20 for those holding bachelors degrees plus credits, and no increase between salary step 16 and 20 for those holding a master's degree plus additional credits. After the 20th salary step in either, an increasein salary is given every 10 years under the present contract. According to the figures, if the teachers accepted the eight per- cent increase reportedly offered to them during negotiations, with the exception of their bachelor degrees listed above, their salaries would still be several thousand dollars below Dallas, and in each of the five examples on the chart. Sala- ries would be much lower than Wyoming Valley West. Readers may note a few slight differences in the salary chart above but that is due to the fact that it is almost impossible to find exact degree plus credits on identical salary levels within a district.

Shavertown blood drive nets 146 pints By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer The blood drive held last Thurs- day at Shavertown United Meth- odist Church, Thursday collected 146 pints of blood, 34 short of its goal. Bill Palchanis, bloodmobile scheduler for Red Cross chapters in the Northeastern Region said, however, that the collection was not bad for the community collec- tions. The Wyoming Valley Chapter has been scheduling blood collec- tions at the Shavertown United Sewer Methodist Church since 1983. “The industrial collections are usually more successful, since the donors are brought to and from the collection site,” said one of the bloodmobile representatives Thursday. The next blood collection will be an industrial one September 26 at Irem Temple Country Club, Dal- las, by appointment only. A blood collection for students and school employees will be Thursday, Octo- ber 5 at Dallas High School, Dal- las, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a similar one will be October 11 at Lake- Lehman High School from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. A community blood collection | o will be held Monday, October 23, at Our Lady of Mt.
