standing of themselves and their
fellows through 'an exposure to
great themes; and it must trans-
mit an awarness of accepted val-
ues.

One of the main topics for
discussion at Monday evenirig'S
board of education meeting in
Clinton concerned an education
committee recommendation to
arrange a dinner for all teach-
ing and non-teaching employees
of the board who have retired in
the past four years - or since the
board came into being inJanuary
1989.
The recommendation, of
course, was part and parcel of
the board's effort to improve re-
lations with the staff and the peo-
ple of Hur9n County. As chair-
man of the board, Robert M. El-
liott pointed out, "Had the old
boards been in existence, they
would have had something to hon-
or those who retired."
One of the biggest problems
was to define retirement - and
after considerable thought, the
board members agreed that the
policy should state "all those
who have retired in the past
four years and are not- eligible
to be rehired ons fulltime basis

The regular meeting of the
Huron County Board of Education
got underway a half hour late.
Monday evening - 8:30 pm - to
permit a longer than usual com-
mittee -of-the-whole (in camera)
session. It ended about 10 pm
for a short break before members
of the board reconvened in anoth-

from "The Arts In Education"
meeting were approved and the
three which were tabled involved
budget limitations as well as a
fellow-up study dbunty needs.
The recommendation from the
academic planning-committee to
form a teacher-trustee-admin-
istration liaison committee was
also approved.
A brief discussion was held
on the request from the London
board of education to put a freeze
on administrative salaries, but
board members agreed to file
the correspondence. The feeling
was that the Huron board had
been holding the line on admin-
istrative spending as well as
other educational spending since
the, board's, beginning, and did'
not feel it was necessary to put
a freeze on salaries which were
already well within the, guidelines
set by other boards in the pro-
vince.
The following resignations*
were accepted, `effective August

a! weeks ago about a student hav-
