The Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board meeting in Seaforth Monday accepted the fuel oil tender of Ross Scott Ltd. of Bruccfield for the year 1974-75 at a discount of five cents per gallon off the posted tank wagon price which at time of tender was 36.9 cents for all schools except Wingham which is 37.5 cents per gallon. Jack Lane, Business Administrator, said the difference in price for Wingham was that it is located in a different provincial zone. Ted Geoffrey of Zurich said that the Scott tender was the lowest of three. He said it was not a firm price and will vary when the refineries adjust their prices, perhaps later thistPall. Mrs. Trudy Smith of Zurich was appointed principal's relief at Ecole Ste Marie at St. Joseph. The City of Stratford will be granted permission to use the separate schools for the municipal elections upcoming in December. Six trustees indicated they would be able to attend the Christian Curriculum Develop- ment Conference in Toronto. November 1, 2 and 3 --Board Chairman Michael Connolly of Kippen, Howard Shantz of Stratford, John McCann of Ailsa Craig, Francis Hicknell of Seaforth, Ted Geoffrey of Zurich and Oscar Kieffer of Bluevale. UNICEF officials were given permission to distribute boxes in any , separate school under the board's jurisdiction at Hallowe'en and St. Joseph's Church was given permission to hold a C.O.R. (Christ in Others Retreat) weekend at St. Michael's School November 8 - 10. The sketch plans for the addition at St. Patrick's School Kinkora, as presented by Brian Garratt, architect of Kyles, Kyles and Garratt, Stratford have been approved. They have been sent to the Ministry of Education for approval. The board was notified that three members of the clergy have been appointed to the Trustee - Clergy Liaison Committee --Rev. A. J. Durand of Zurich; Rev. Gordon Dill of dublin and Rev. V. J. Gleeson of Stratford, Commenting on the budget print-out handed out by Arthur Haid, chairman of finance committee, Jack Lane said it was well within budget expenditures. Trustees are to study the report at home and it will be discussed at next meeting. Sam Alberico, principal at St. Michael's School, Stratford, has been named as representative to the Ontario Committee for Education Week. The Board will write a letter to the council of Hibbert Township to ask that top priority be given, when preparing next year's road budget, to building a bridge on side road 20-21, concession two of Hibbert. Because the bridge is posted to a limited load, the board is unable to use the road when transporting school students as a school bus exceeds the restricted weight. The board must pay for an additional nine miles travelled each day and this is costing money, Donald Crowley, transportation committee chairman, said. Howard Shantz, of Stratford, asked that the Family Life Advisory Committee, which is studying the report of the pilot project on teaching the Family Life program to Grade 8 students last spring, be prepared to report back to the board soon. He said he hoped to see the same program implemented to Grade seven pupils as well as Grade 8 this year. Francis Hicknell, a member of the Family Life Advisory Committee, said he thought a report could be ready for the November meeting. The Board prepared a policy covering school custodians, giving consideration to the selection and supervision of custodial staff and the maintenance of co-operation and communication among the principal and staff, the custodian and the board office. The policy covers the hiring, the training, the supervision of duties, maintaining the school buildings and premises in a proper sanitary condition, communication links for custodians and the rules for dismissal if necessary for breach of contract. The meeting adjourned shortly before midnight. HPRCSS Board sets custodian policy available in Listowel because of a lack of facilities.
