TEACHERS’ APPEALS
GRANTS FOR “REMOTE” ALLOWANCES TEST CASE DECIDED Stated by the chairman of the’ Education Board, Mr. A. Burns, this morning to have been a friendly test case, two appeals heard by the Teachers’ Board of Appeal on reductions in “remote” allowances did not succeed. The result of the case, which left the termination, and altering and the reduction of remote allowances to teachers in the hands of the Director of Education, did not mark any departure from the present system. Mr. E. C. Cutten, S.M., was the chairman at the court. The two appeals were from assistants at Pokeno and Taupiri, and the contention on behalf of the appellants was that the director, having determined the allowances of the appellants at the time they were appointed, could not alter the sums during the tenure of the appellants* positions. The claim was lost on the ground that the circumstances at Pokeno and Taupiri did not warrant the grant of “remote” allowances, which are made to assistant teachers in places handicapped by difficulties of access. Assistant teachers in Grade 111. schools distant from centres of population can receive not more than £3O a year as an allowance.
