Director of Education Coch- rane suggested that more staff dmeetings in the schools could, be a possible solution to some of the communication problems. It was also felt that if a staff repre- sentative was appointed, and communications affecting the staff were sent to him or to her as well as to the principal, the principals would be reminded to* bring these matters to the atten- tion of the staff. "I would think that monthly staff meetings are a must," said Garnet Hicks, Exeter. "Maybe oftener." The subject of budgetting was discussed briefly and it was pointed out that if teachers under- stood why their requests for equipment were not granted, they would be more contented. It was shown that teachers could be useful at budget time since considerable savings could be affected if text books could be pooled and equipment shared. As it stands now, the teachers suggested, it was every teacher for himself or herself when co- operation between classes, and schools could probably be achieved without much problem. "A communication gap can be bridged only by building from both sides towards the centre," observed Mr. Black in closing, "the supports being truth, com- mon knowledge and complete trust." • FARMERS!

The board will now be ope- rating under three standing com- mittees: the Education Com- mittee with Mrs. Marion Zinn as chairman and committee _members Wilfred Shortreed, Mollie Kunder, George Parsons and John Taylor; a Management Committee with - Cayley Hill as chairman, and members Don Mc- Donald, John Henderson, Alex Corrigan and Dr. Alex Addison; the Chairman's Advisory Com- mittee composed of chairman Robert Elliott, Vice-Chairman -John Broadfoot and the chairmen of the first two committees; an Advisory Vocational Committee 'with Garnet Hicks as, chairman and members Charles Rau and Wilfred Shortreed; and the Advi- sory Committees on Schools for Trainable Retarded, Chairman Jim Taylor, members Clarence McDonald and Mollie Kunder, Ad Hoc Committees compri- sing not more than two or three persons, may be established' to investigate where in the opinion of a standing committee, a pro- blein, potential problem or situa- tion Is likely to involve public relations to a high degree or has political overtones. ' • The new system has been devised in an attempt to make less meetings for board members to attend. A wide-variety of subjects will be lumped together under the main two committees, education and management. Full duties of the committees have been outlined-and their jurisdic- tions established. Open board meetings will be held once monthly, the third Mon- day of each month. The Education Committee Will meet the fourth Monday of the month, the Manage- ment Committee will convene the first Monday of the month, and the AVC is set for the -first Thursday of each month. The remaining two committees will meet at the call of the chairman. Delegations may appear at any public meeting of the board. They are encouraged to make their intent 'known, in writing, to the board at least 96 hours in ad- vance of the meeting and, to state the nature of the presentation, We' apf.ifoxim ate • number'of persons in the delegation, and the name of the spokesman. The .Chairman will decide whether or not to permit delegations that appear without previous notice to be heard and May limit the time allotted to any delegation. Prior to receiving the presenta- tion, the Chairman' shall advise all delegations that the Board reserves the right not to act on the' petition until the matter has ret,eived further study by the BOard or a Committee thereof. Committee of the whole meet- ings and Committee of the whole (In Camera) meetings are still provided for, the difference being that the press is able to sit in on ,committee of the whole meetings but are banned from the In Camera sessions. However, neither of these types Of corn- - mittee meetings are open to the public. The above decision is a carry- over from the present time, and has been arranged to permit the press the advantage of knowing the background on various matters perhaps to be reported upon later. While there were a few ques- tions and Concern expressed con. cerning the new system, the brief passed easily by a 12-2 vote. Chairman Bob Elliott claimed that if "poorly handled" the new system could cause "a spilt on the board". If "properly handled" on the other hand, it could be "the thing we've been looking for".

"They're hired to teach, not to make board decisions," trus- tee Taylor commented. Chairman Black said teachers like to have a part, in the system because teachers are "cogs in the wheel". Board chairman Bob Elliott said loyalty of the staff can only be expected when staff members know the "reason for decisions". "They may not agree but at least they will understand why," the chairman stated. "Whys are perhaps just as important as whats," added mr. Black. It was also pointed out during discussion that the teachers don't realize that they have .the right to go to one of the superintendents of education in the county system in a case..where their principals are not in accord with a new idea the teacher may have for teaching, perhaps. "It has always been that if the principal says no, that's it for the teacher," said Director of Education D. 3. Cochrane. 'But with the county system', you can apply for a, transfer to another school." "Teachers should be advised they can bypass a principal," said Mrs. Carroll. "I really don't think teachers are aware that they have that privilege." "Will the principals point this out?" asked Mr. Black. "Isn't there something wrong if the principal receives informa- floi—i-End doesn't pass it on to the staff?" sliced Mrs. Mollie Kunder Seaforth.
