'The board un- derstands that no students will be transported to the schools and that all work will be carried out by Mrs. Couper. Two other kilns in schools in the county, those at Seaforth PS and Robertson MemorialSch- 001 - were not included in the program because these schools are locked for a portion of the summer while custodial staff are on vacation. It was felt that suitable arrangements at these schools would be difficult to make. Board members agreed this was in keeping with the board's policy to make school facilities accessible to the public on as many occasions as possible.

Vice-chairman John Broad- foot who conducted the meeting in the absence of Chairman Rob- ert , Elliott, noted that any par- ent who doesn't sign the form will Automatically prevent their sons or daughters from taking part in ,the program. He wond- ered what would happen if the signature of the parent was sim- ply forgotten by the student. "Would that student not be permitted to participate in the program?" he asked. "if he's 18, he can sign his own form," answered Mr. Hill. "If he's 16 and his form is not signed, I guess he'd stay at the school." "If parents are in favor of the program, they'll sign," he reasoned. "If they are not in faeor, they shouldn't sign: After all, how far does education go?"
