  16. Summary of Findings and Recommendations • As a result of this survey, designed by the Urbana Education Association’s Negotiations Team, a number of issues that are important to teachers were identified and the top priorities of the participating teachers were ranked in descending order. • In Section III, although 50.8% of the participating teachers ranked Salary over Working Condition, Health Benefits, and Other Benefits,six out of Top Ten Priorities of Teachers are related to Working Conditions. • The information obtained regarding teacher priorities should be analyzed carefully by the Association in determining its priorities during the negotiations processand at least six out of Top Ten Priorities of teachers should be treated as non-negotiable items.
