It calls for all elementary schools in Huron to be supplied with -a refrigerator and a stove if the school does not already have them. It was noted that five •schools will require a • refrigerator and six schools a stove and these will be charged ' against the, 1974 budget. The second policy adopted by the board' was for the mainten- ance in the schoolS of emergency rations, the amount ancL tcital value of which should be determined and budgeted by the princpal and staff. These rations would include canned goods, dehydrated, foods and juices. , The third prbposal was that the Education Committee early in 1974 bring'a recommended list of capital equipment that should be supplied, in the -schools such as propane stoves, emergency light- ing. Other suggestions for emer- gencies which will be discussed later included some on medical problems such as requesting parents to ,send a letter to school advising staff of any medical problem a child Might have: and the maintenance of an emergency supply of any drugs or medicines, - needed by a child.
