It was also felt that if a staff representative was appointed, and communications affecting the staff were sent to him to her as well as to the principal, the principals would be reminded to bring these matters to the at- tention of the staff, "I would thjnk that monthly staff meetings Are a must," said Garnet Hicks, Exeter. "A communication gap can he, bridged only by building from both sides towards the centre," observed Black in closing," the supports being truth, common knowledge and complete trust."

Another area of com- munication breakdown, the teachers agreed, was in .the area of teacher retirements after lengthy service with the board. It was generally agreed that such service should be recognized in the local press and that the board should endeavor to foster this improved communication. Other recommendations which were of particular interest were; wherever possible the board should have the benefit of staff opinion before making policies affecting the staff; consideration be given to the establishment of a sub-committee on the kin- dergarten to Grade 13 concept in Huron County; each school staff should have a staff represen- tative to pass on information and to make sure communication which is directed to the school is distributed to all staff members; budget requirements and final budget decisions should be discussed between principal and staff; parents should be advised that when they have matters to discuss with teachers, they should make appointments with the teachers through the proper channels; that principals should strive to inform the news media of programs and activities in his school; and that the community should make use of the school facilities after school hours whenever possible. Chairman Bill Black noted that communication is a "terrific job," and the normal difficulties are compounded in Huron by "geography." He said that since working on the sub-committee he has learned of new problems which exist and he is more aware now of problems which may arise in his own school, Trustee Jim Taylor, Hensall, wanted to know why the teachers in Huron County felt they had to know the "ifs and ands" about board decisions. "They're hired to teach, not to make board decisions." said Taylor. Chairman Black said teachers like to have a part in the system because teachers are "cogs in the wheel." Board Chairman Bob Elliott said loyalty of the staff can only be expected when staff members know the "reason for decisions." "They may not agree but al least they will understand why," stated Elliott. "Whys are perhaps just as important as whats," added Black. It was also pointed out during discussion that the teachers don't realize that they have the right to go to one of the superintendents of education in the county system in a case where their principals are not in accord with a new idea the teacher may have for teaching, perhaps. "It has always been that if the principal says no, that's it for the teacher," said Director of Education D. J. Cochrane. "But with the county system, you can apply for a transfer to another school." "Teachers should be advised they can bypass a principal," said Mrs. Carroll. "I really don't think teachers are aware that they have that privilege." "Will the principals point this out?" asked Black. "Isn't there something wrong if the principal receives in- formation and doesn't pass it on to the staff?" asked Mrs. Mollie Kunder, Seaforth. Black explained that in some instances, principals are so familiar with information themselves, they are sometimes guilty of "taking for granted" that the staff knows as well. Director of education Cochrane The role of the community newspapers in Huron County seems to be one of the most important links in improved communications between the Huron County Board of Education and its staff of teachers. That fact came to light during Monday afternoon's meeting of the board when the first group of sub-committees was called in to discuss educational matters in Huron with hoard members. This sub-committee which studied Improving Com- munications Within The County System, was chaired by Bill Black, principal of Colborne Central School, and had as its members Ed Beard of F. Madill Secondary School; Mrs, Mary Carroll of Holmesville Public School; Larry Plumsteel, Principal of Seaforth District High School; and J. Jamieson, Hullett Central Public School. Also serving on the sub- committee was Superintendent Don Kenwell of the Huron County Board of Education and John Taylor, trustee. Four distinct areas of study were involved: board-staff communication; elementary- secondary school com- munication; communication within the schools; and com- munications, school with the public. In all, 26 recommendations were made to the board by the subcommittee to improve communications in the county school system. Only one recommendation was passed by the board of education in their regular meeting which followed the afternoon session although the remaining 25 are being fully studied and a complete report will be forthcoming to the board for decision. The recommendation which was approved was that an ad- ministrative council be established to meet once mon- thly. This council will include the chairman of each of the two advisory councils of principals (elementary and secondary); the two representatives of each of the three federations; the superin- tendents of education; and the director of education. This council will discuss matters of educational concern, to formulate requests and propose solutions and to present same to the board, Three members of the administrative council should attend board meetings, the sub-committee felt, and should report decisions and reason for these to their respective areas. "Policies could be put through channel before making it rule," the sub-committee said. It was disclosed in the discussions that the teachers felt that up until this time, the county newspapers had been their best source of information about what was going on in education throughout Huron County. Newspapers were commended for their willingness to print news from the schools in their areas whenever possible. However, there were indications that not all schools seize this opportunity to gain public attention by using newspaper space to an ad- vantage. There was also a complaint that "news items originating from board meetings sometimes do not reflect the full intent of the decision reached." One recommendation stated that "a synopsis of decisions reached by board should be sent to press, staffs and trustees shortly after meetings." "Some teachers feel that they just don't know what board policies are," one beef stated. "The paper seems to be the only nobOdy but MOtO•Ski gives you a 2-year track warranty*!!
