W Van teachers call
for class-size clause

WEST VANCOUVER
teachers want to be much
more involved in decisions
affecting their profession,
West Vancouver Teachers’
Association (WVTA) presi-
dent Wayne Rowley said in
a recent address to the
union’s members.

By Kevin Gillies

Approximately 290 teachers
gathered on Monday, Feb. 8,.in
the basement of St. Anthony’s
church, hall at 2337 Inglewood
Ave, to show their support for the
WVTA’s bargaining objectives in
its. ongoing. dispute with West
Vancouver School District 45
_ (WVSB). :

“We want to be involved, in a
significant manner, as to decisions
that affect us. We ask no more;
we expect no less,’’ Rowley said.

District 45 teachers have refused
since early January to do ad-
ministrative paperwork as part of
union job action to protest the
lack of progress in contract talks.

Because of the job action by
teachers, they kave not been
allowed to use’ school district
Property’ to conduct union
meetings.

WEST VANCOUVER
SCHOOL BOARD

Rowley said he wanted reascn-
able study and input from all
concerned before services, such as
those provided by computer con-
tact persons, are switched to the
librarians; or before programs,
such as Challenge and Careers,
are changed.

Class size is a main bone of
contention in the District 45 con-
tract dispute. The union wants a
contract clause that specifically
stipulates. what a practical class
size should be.

“T want to return soon to a
classroom in this district with ap-

' preciably better class sizes than I

see now,"’ Rowley told the teach-
ers,

Rowley also said he didn’t want
to see teachers forcibly transferred
by the board just because the ad-
ministrative officers didn’t like
them.

“‘All we are asking for, in terms
of being treated in a fair, reason-
able and non-discriminatory
manner, is to be treated in a way
that is consistent with our profes-
sion. We want to be respected for
what we are, and the knowledge
skills and attitudes that we have,”
Rowley said. .
