CHICAGO — Chicago teachers ratified their new 81% million contract with the Board of Education yesterday by a margin of 73 percent to 27 percent and prepared to return to their classrooms in the longest strike in the district's history.
In addition, Chicago Teachers Union President Robert Healey said that 18,000 blue-collar unions representing 11,000 other Board of Education employees also settled and would return to work today.
"Everybody is on board." Healey said.
BUT THERE was a possibility that the Chicago School Finance Authority, created in 1900 after the bankrupt state of Illinois, would not money, may not approve the board's
$81 million contract offer to the teachers.
"It's a very bad situation," said Lawrence Broeth, secretary of the fiscus. "It's really unfortunate."
Finance authority attorney Wayne McCoy said that if the contract proposal is ratified the board must submit a revised revenue estimate, a revised budget and the new contract plan to the authority for approval.
McCoy said that the Board of Education would find itself in a dilemma if the finance authority rejected either the revenue estimate, the revised budget or the new contract plan. The finance authority, created by the state legislature and the three-year plan unless it is "reasonably capable of being achieved."
A SCHOOL BOARD spokesman said that the settlement would increase the deficit in the 1984-85 school year by up to $17 million. Some members of the finance authority projected the deficit to climb beyond $100 million in 1984-85.
The defict was $4.7 million before the tentative nact was reached
But there was optimism in the teacher ranks.
"Thank God it's over," said Anna Estell, a read-lab teacher for 13 years in the public schools. "I wasn't expecting to be off this long; and I was not ready to do that. I have to re-learn all my names, but I'll be more than happy to be doing that."
The Board of Education said that a 5-percent raise for teachers was included in the proposed one-year pact. But it would total only 2.9 percent for the year because it would not go into effect until January.
The tentative agreement was reached Sunday night after a 33-hour weekend bargaining session mediated by labor Secretary William J. Ueser Jr.
IN ADDITION, TEACHERS will receive one-time bonuses of 1 percent at Christmas and 1.5 percent in June.
Total cost of the contract offer is $81 million.
Under the proposed pact, a first-year teacher with a bachelor's degree will receive $14,500 a year. A teacher with a master's or 3 years experience will be paid $30,765.
The board reportedly won about $12 million in concessions from the union. Under the agreement, teachers will be paid for 14 of the days they were off the job. Yesterday was the 15th day of the strike.
The agreement reportedly also calls for no layoffs and no change in maximum class size. Nine days will be added to the school year to make up for some of the lost strike days and to meet city schools will qualify for state aid.
"If this had gone on much longer, I know of many parents who were prepared to pull their kids out of the public schools," said Mary Dale, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Parent Teacher Association.
