School Board officials have declined to make any state- ment for publication until there is a full meeting of the board tomorrow. It is expected that a press release will be made at| that time. In the meantime, it is under- stood that the board has set the salary schedule for the period of a year under the power vested in it by virtue of Section 47 of the Public Seh88ls Act. Should achers Not agree to the ions of the schedule, pre- sumably they ean demand arbi- tration under provisions of the same act, Since the board has evoked the provisions in Section 47, it would appear that negotiations that were proceeding through the winter between salary com- mittees from both the board and the teachers’ association had broken down, although here again there has been no press release issued by either party.
