Minor offenders to work for school board BY WILIVIA OKE Petty lawbreakers will , be helping to maintain the 19 schools in the Huron-Perth Catholic school system. Trustees voted Monday night to partici- pate in the provincial government's com- munity service orders program which puts minor offenders to work in the community rather than behind bars. However, the students will have no contact with these non-violent offenders as the board will only permit them * to work during the Christmas break, the March mid-term break or the months of July and August. The board will do this for a trial period of one year, beginning August 1, 1980, with the board's Director of Education the contact person for the program. In April the board had approved in principle to, accept' the offer from the ministry of correctional services to accept offenders as volunteers for work in the program called Community Service Orders (CSO). In June some of the trustees had second thoughts about CSO and it was tabled until July 21' At that June meeting Trustee David O'Reilly defended the program saying they were not dealing with hardened criminals but people "who have just slipped off the straight and narrow". When the program came up for discussion Monday, Trustee Michael 'Connolly said it was "a setlious thing" and expressed concern about publicity. His request to hold the discussion in committee of the whole was given unanimous approval. In other business the board approved the property committee's report and recom- mendation on asbestos hazards in its schools. In April it was learned following tests on the schools that asbestos was found in ceiling tiles at three separate schools but there was no health threat to pupils and staff and "We have nothing to be alarmed about", according to Ontario labour ministry tests. In the three schools affected the board approved the work be completed as author- ized to a maximum cost of $68,495, following approval of the ministry of education which Please turn to page 16 Janet Cardiff's Cordifft ort wins award .
