$74 $6 By HALVER GETCHELL Education Reporter The Hampton Education Association Wednesday revealed preliminary plans to seek at least a cost-of-living pay raise next year. The package of most-wanted contract clauses include requests for salary supplements for extra duties or completion of new college courses. The package of fringe benefits range from dental insurance to protection for property while in school. The package was developed following a survey of what HEA members consider as priority items in developing a new contract for 1978-79. Results of the survey made at the beginning of this term were revealed Wednesday at a meeting of HEA's representative assembly.

The proposal helps set priorities for subsequent contract negotiations between HEA and school board budget committees for 1978-79. The list of most desired improvements in teacher working conditions fall in six major areas. Salary The new contract would provide at least a cost-of-living increase for all teachers, while HEA requests additional emphasis on higher wage supplements for holders of master's degrees, especially those using the advanced degree in their teaching field. The survey showed continued interest in reducing the number of steps to reach maximum salary from 16 consecutive years to 12. A 20th step is provided for tenured teachers, and HEA's budget team will ask the school board to add another step for 25 or 30 years of service, according to James Majka, HEA president and a member of the negotiations team.

Supplements Elementary teachers have expressed a strong sentiment that they also should receive supplemental pay for school duties performed outside of regular school program. Elementary teachers at present receive no extra money for serving as advisors, club sponsors or other noncurricular duties. It is also proposed that the supplemental pay be extended to secondary personnel not now covered. Fringes and Leaves Highest priority has been given a request that the school board restore funding for payment of up to one three-semester-hour course successfully completed during a school year. The item is a carryover from last year and is automatically put on the negotiation list.

Provision of a dental care plan received the second highest support in this category. A third item supports extension of the sick leave allowance to 15 days each year with unrestricted accumulation. Three of the days would be used as personal leave. 1 Teacher Protection Teachers are calling for establishment of a well defined student disciplinary procedure. HEA will survey members to determine suggestions for and improvements in the "Standards for Students" policy developed jointly by HEA and school board members.

The first survey found numerous requests from teachers for on-the-job insurance covering damage to or loss of teachers' personal property while in school to be paid by the school board. Working Conditions Priority items in this category are familiar duty-free time for elementary teachers during the student lunch od and a preparation period for teachers during the students' school day. During the discussion of duty-free time at lunch, it was noted that this problem will continue to exist as long as teachers say they enjoy eating lunch with their young charges. Many members expressed concern in the survey about insufficient funds for purchase of classroom supplies and materials; a desire for improved transfer policy through posting of instructional openings at designated times, and establishment of in-service programs designed by teachers to fit their needs. Other Major Concerns A priority request from members who teach in non-air conditioned schools calls for negotiation of a plan for emergency dismissal procedures when temperatures soar.

The suggested threshold for an emergency would be classroom temperatures of 80 I degrees. A substantial number of teachers expressed a preference for twice monthly pay periods. Previous surveys found teachers about evenly divided on the issue. The concern is over the extended period of time without pay that occurs at the beginning of school. Several items will be referred to the Professional Council.

They include calls for greater efficiency of psychological services, assignment of teachers with masters degrees to their specialty field so they can receive the supplemental pay, and a system timetable to handicapped special education students back into the regular program. Honor Day Speaker Rep. Paul S. Trible will be the principle speaker Sunday at the 15th Annual Warwick Moose Youth Honor Day. Four area youths will be honored at the all-day program.

An awards ceremony starts at 1:30 p.m. Former i Rep. Tom Downing will present plaques and resolutions to the youths, a task he has performed for 14 of the 15 years. George R. Oder of the Warwick Lodge will be master of ceremonies.
