School staff impose bans

School administrative and support staff have voted to impose seven bans as part of their campaign for a new award.

The school members met last Friday at 150 sites across the state.

They also voted to reject the Department's 3 percent interim offer. (The Department made a belated interim offer of 3% just two days before the meetings.)

The seven areas where work bans are imposed are:

• Back to School Allowance;
• Annual School Reports;
• Use of private vehicles for school business;
• Libraries when teacher/librarian absent;
• Home visits (except emergencies);
• Chemical data registration and coding;
• Supervision of children when teacher not present.
