Making head teachers administrative trainees may more of them to seek advancement, said Rogers, who noted that most head teachers in the district are women while there are no female principals. The report also calls for administrative allowances for head teachers and administrative assistants to be tied to a formula based on the number of staff at a sehool and a percentage of the administrator's salary. The latter would be determined from the salary grid established for district teachers. The report recommends release time — time to perform administrative duties — for head teachers and adminis trative assistants be allotted on the basis of three per cent per teacher at a school, including the administrator, up to a maximum of 20 per cent. Head teachérs in the district currently are not given release time to perform administrative chores and consequently end up doing them on their own time, director of instruction Lach Farrell said after the meeting. Rogers, in giving the report to the trustees, said the committee is aware of the “financial constraints of the time” and is simply “trying to establish a pattern or goals that could be followed in the district.” However, superintendent of schools Terry Wayling noted that the board may have to make a decision on head teaching positions soon because of the retirement this year of Castlegar primary head teacher Donna Archibald, who also served on the study group. Wayling will study the report and bring back recom- mendations to the board at a later date. In addition to Rogers and Archibald, district teachers Hazel Kirkwood, Lisa Pedrini, John Plotnikoff, Vianne Timmons and Bill Sang also served on the study group.
