GREETINGS
FOR
hPierlaS
Three members of the Huron
County Board of Education said
their farewells Wednesday
evening in Clinton to the other
members of the board with whom
they have worked for the past
two years.
First speaker was Dan Murphy,
Goderich, who admitted he was
reluctant to quit."
"On every board there should
be a certain turnover," said
Murphy who will be replaced
next year by Charles Rau,
Zurich. "The longer you're on a
board such as this, the more risk
you're running of becoming
rather stale. We have new
members coming on and I think
that's the way a board grows and
matures."
Murphy warned of the dangers
of conformity when a board
attempts to provide equal
opportunity for all students in
the county. He said he hoped
schools would not lose their
individuality in the future.
Murphy tossed out another
question for thought.
"I've been wondering lately,"
mused Murphy, "will the, day
come when you have'high school
students with some maturity,
perhaps Grade 13 'students,
sitting on this board?"
Gordon Moir, Wingham,
praised the administrative staff of
the Huron County Board of
Education. He said he had had 13
years on school boards and it was
"now time for someone else to
step up." He promised not to
criticize the board members for a
period of two years — until he had
"lost touch" with them and their
problems.
Chairman John Lavis left some
thoughts with the board
members. He suggested an ad hoc
committee of the board to work
with principals and perhaps
Al ministers concerning the religious
• education question, particularly
if the problem should come to
prominence in the county; urged
ct that complaint forms to be signed
• by parents be handled by the
director of education personally
with no one else involved and
therefore, no one else knowing
who made the complaint and the
nature of it. stressed the need for
board members to think in terms
of a county board of education
and to get over their little red
schoolitis; warned members not
to have so many policies that they
become "rubber stamps"; asked
• members to treat each new policy
