Mrs. Donald Kunder of Seaforth replied that by doing. this you are limiting the nurn- r of people who could be on he Board. We have had .twol octors on the Board. In no, ay could they attend after- oon meetings." Mr. Broadfoot answered,' They have a day off, don't hey." , E. Cayley Hill, chairman of he Board, said, "I agree with ou, Mollie (Kunder). No doubt here are people who could not asily serve on the Board with fternoon meetings. Too, I hink there are people who ould not serve on the Board if hey had to sit through long vening meetings." Mrs. Zinn asked if committee eetings,were to be held in the fternoon and Mr. Broadfoot ssured her that only the egular board meeting would held in the afternoon. Herbert Turkheim of Zurich uggested that the Board con- nue with night meetings to e end of the year and start ext year with afternoon eetings on a trial basis.

The Board members ad considered about half of ereport at the May meeting. 01 of the policies were ten- atively adopted with the ex- eption of the last one which is o be re-written. They are as allows: All elementary school prin- pals require a certain amount non-teaching time in which perform their administrative sks, including the primary sponsibility of supervision nd improvement of instruc- ion. In schools where no vice- rincipal has been appointed se Board will authorize ap- ointment of a part-time acher who will be designated Principal's Relief", the mount of time available to be procedures procedures should be developed to make provision for hearing delegations of an emergency nature. Disembarking from buses at other than normal home stop—A pupil may be permit- ted to disembark from his/her school bus at a place other than the normal home stop when such departure from normal practice is approved beforehand by the principal and he/she is satisfied that the parents/guardians of the pupil are aware of such arrangement. dependent on the size of the school, No change in the policy for the authority to approve field trips and excursions, Authorization of expen- ditures prior to budget ap- proval—In order to meet nor- mal operating requirements of the school system it shall be Board policy to permit the Director of Education and his administrative staff to pur- chase supplies, to obtain emergency repairs or replacement of equipment and to honour contractual obligations of the Board in that period of time falling between the first of the calendar year and final approval of the Board's budget for the same calendar year. Bereavements—Appropriate expressions of sympathy in the event of death should be sent in the name of the Board as follows: (a) for board members and employees---a floral tribute; (b) for the spouse of any in (a) above—a sympathy, card. Classification of em- ployees—For ease of reference the Board will divide em- ployees into several broad categories based generally on function and for qualification. Complaints—Handling of by trustees—Based on the premise that trustees often receive com- plaints against schools and/or personnel that do not contain all the pertinent information necessary for the trustee to arrive at a fair and impartial opinion, the Board feels that it must establish definite procedures for trustees to follow in the handling of com- plaints to ensure open com- munication and maintenance of Financial support of student publications—The Board believes that publication of year books, anthologies and the like by students is a worthwhile venture in that such an activity not only provides the student with a permanent memento of his Years at school, but also af- fords an opportunity for him to gain an insight into the vocations of publishing, repor- ting, photography, sales and others. To this end the Board authorizes the, Director of Education, within financial limitations established in the annual budget of the Board, to support the advertising and sales campaigns of these worth- while publications by pur- chasing a suitable adver- tisement and/or subscription in the name sif the Huron County Board of Education. Kindergarten organization—Determination of the type of kindergarten organization to be used in a school is a co-operative exercise involving the principal and .his staff, the Board's senior academic administrative staff the trustees and the parents or guardians of the children direc- tly affected. Any procedures developed in connection with this topic shall recognize the rights and respon- sibilities of principals and ad- ministrators as delineated in the Acts and Regulations of the Province; the aim of the Board to make kindergarten available to all children under its jurisdiction; the responsibility of the, Board to make this op- portunity available at the least cost to the ratepayers; and the wishes of the majority of parents or guardians of the children. Plaques and tablets in schools—Except in three specific cases, the Board does not favour the mounting of plaques and tablets in its schools. Under strict regulation and approval, the Board con- dones plaques and tablets in memory of principals who die in service or as permanent records of winners of awards, DELECTABLE DAIRY IDEAS Regardless of our ages, we all need milk.
