Rewarding the best teachers is just what the Taxpayers Forum would like to try and do. “I say let's do it on a merit ba- sis,” said Bob Frey of Dallas, refer- ring lo setting salaries. “They say they're all good teachers. How do we know they're all good teachers if they're not judged on a merit basis.” “We've heard the arguments that merit is very difficult to determine. We have a plan that will work,” said Kunec, before the meeting. An English teacher in Prince George's County, Maryland from 1960 to 1970, Kunec briefly outlined how he felt a merit system could work. A committee could be formed, including Dr. Gilbert Griffiths, assistant ‘superintendent of cur- riculiim ' dnd’ 'ifistriiction, "other administratorsicand one or two taxpayers. Each teacher would be evaluated in the classroom three or four times a year. “We're going to be here for years to support the hard-pressed tax- payer,” said Kunec. “Our first order of business is to support our local school board versus the unrea- sonable aemands ot the Dallas teachers union.” “We have nothing personal against the teachers,” said Kunec. “We think a lot of teachers do not agree with the union but they're afraid to say anything because theyll be blackballed.” During the meeting, Frey also suggested the union — and not teachers — were behind what the forum calls outrageous demands. William Wagner, president of the Dallas teachers union, said that the teachers have never de- manded. When negotiations began in January of 1991, the teachers asked for a five-year contract with a 9.85% average annual raise. A state fact-finders report released in December recommended the teachers get a four-year contract with an average 8.75% raise. The teachers voted unanimously for the report while the school board unanimously rejected it. The board had offered a three-year contract with a $2,400 yearly increase, but it was rejected by the teachers’ union. “I was in Lancaster County and the demands were exactly the same as they are here,” said Frey, who asked teachers’ to come. forward and explain what théy WanéH1o618 Raymond® Rybka dnd ‘several’ others at the meeting suggested that teachers pay for part of their medical coverage. Decision expected on tax refunds The school district may know in two weeks whether it will have to return $132,000 in extra state funds to the taxpayers, or if it can keep them. District business manager Charlotte Williams said that the Pennsylvania School Boards As- sociation had a hearing in Com- monwealth Court on January 14 challenging some of the criteria the state has used to determine if a district has to return the extra funds. One of the criteria chal- lenged is whether or not $58,000 . PERFECT FOR Valentine’s Day! A beautiful arrangement of 12 milk chocolate rosebuds in an elegant gift box.

Ifthe judge rules that the retirement funds should not be included, then Dallas's extra funds will fall below $100,000 and the state will allow the district to keep that money. Students upset over change in school periods There may be more students than usual at the February 10 regular meeting of the Dallas School Board. In January the school board voted to change from eight class periods to seven slightly longer class periods starting in Septem- ber of 1992. The Middle School will have two days; of seven periods, and, three of eight periods in the, fourth marking quarter this year as an experiment. Those in favor of the change, including board members Jack ei ad $4 \ 3 Cleary and Ellen Nagy, feel that it ' will increase the amount of tim. ji students spend on the basics? James Richardson, Richard Cos- | lett, and Ernest Ashbridge Jr. also voted for the change. i | Opponents of the change, in- cluding many teachers and board member Clarence Michael feel that | it will cut down on the variety of ' courses students will be able to : take. John George and Thomas | Landon also voted against the change. “The change in class periods | has outraged many students, not ' only underclassmen, but upper | classmen as well,” said one Seniorgy who asked not to be named. ,¥ A junior also said that the sty- dents were upset, but that many felt they couldn't doanythingabouif it, Another student said that the" students were upset, but didn’t want to comment further because | it might ruin plans the students might have for a protest. \ t ' f i.
