A transfer review board would prevent shifting of teachers from school to school within the county. The Ontario schools trustees council has recommended that school boards not be tied down to the ' requirements • of such a ..board;e-feeling that a county board would not unduly transfer teachers. The GDCI board accepted the trustees council's proposal to drop the proposed amendment from Bill 44. The board, at its monthly meeting on Monday evening also resolved to accept in principle the suggestion that a central organization publicize, or- ganize and administer a more satisfactory night school pro- gram for all schools in Huron County this fall, Under last year's system, a minimum of 14 students were required to form a class.

The, Board accepted, with regret, the resignations of three staff .members: Mrs. Isabel Pierson, Mrs. Mary Harvey, and Mr. Elgin Ereuger. There will be 63 full time teachers and one half time teacher on the 68-69 staff. This yearis staff had 67 full time teachers. The decrease in staff is due to a smaller student population, resulting from the establishment of "satellite" shops at Exeter and Goderich schools. The Board has hired three teachers - Mr. Isadore Fein- stein, Mr. Donald MacMillan, and Mrs. Mary Jeap Beattie, who was a full time teacher this year but will, teach half time next year. John Levis, board represent- ative on the .Huron Interim School' Organization ComMittee reported that legislation may be received authorizing existing school boards to continue in function as committees of the new County Boards until the end of the 1968-69 school term.
