Spokesman for the ap proximately ten-member delegation. Robert Carrier, presented a brief that listed objections to the proposal now* hefore the board The proposed policy would tie the number of hours a librarian is on duty to the school enrolment In February a similar ob jection was made by a delegation from Adelaide Township and. as a result, the matter was reconsidered by Trustees of the Board’s Academic Affairs Com mittee. The Academic Affairs Committee recommended adoption of the revised policy but the matter was tabled until Westminster Township residents could give their views to the board. After hearing the West minster delegation, the board decided to refer the matter again to the ademic Affairs Com mittee Use of school facilities by community groups came un der study at the Board meeting. In response to a request from principal Ar nold Hull of Caradoc North Public School, the board agreed to waive its school use policy and permit the school's Parents' Associa tion to operate a weekly recreational evening at no charge provided there is no cost to the board other than for utilities. Additionallv. the board decided to permit other school sponsored assoe1ations to hold recreational evenings under the same provisions in school areas that do not have recognized recreation commissions In other business, the board ratified the transfer, effective September 1 this year, of principals Fred Ber dan from Biddulph-Lucan School to Centennial School and Wallace McLav from Westminster School to Biddulph-Lucan.
