Teachers continuing school strike | |
(38 minutes later) | |
The NASUWT teachers' union has decided to continue their strike at Movilla High School in Newtownards. | |
The 25 teachers at the school who are members of the union rejected an offer from the South Eastern Education and Library Board after meeting earlier. | |
The union said it will withdraw one of three proposals for the education of the boy at the centre of the dispute. | |
It is no longer willing to see him taught by specialists in isolation at the school. | |
Thursday is the ninth day of the strike. | |
The dispute arose when teachers' pay was docked for refusing to teach a pupil who they claim assaulted one of them. | |
It is not clear when further talks at the Labour Relations Agency may take place. | |
The ATL union' s 10 members at Movilla who are not on strike have been consulted on the offer from the South Eastern board. | |
A spokesman said they viewed it as a step forward, but have asked union officials to have more discussions on issues around it. |
