(Sentinel Staff Photo] • wants to retain school strap By Dave Sykes • If Huron County.School Board trustees get . their way. the strap will remain in the school system. At it's regular monthly meeting Monday. the board endorsed a motion stating its opposition to the general abolition of corporal punishment in schools. A second. qualifying point, to the motion insists the use of corporal punishment should be left to the discretion of each board. • A revision of the use of L-orpOral punish- ment was protkipted•by a memorandum from Minister of Education Bette Stephensofl. who proposed an ammendment to the Education Act asking teachers and prin- cipals to refrain from the use of ,physical force in disciplining a pupil, except to protect himself ,or another pupil - .Bat the ammendment, according to Huron officialswreaked of ambiguity and was prone to interpretation. The key words in the ammendrrient were 'physical fore& a term which Director of Education John Cochrane said was athbiguousadding that simply grabbing a child by the arm and leading him to the office could be considered physiol force. • To properly evaluate the situation, Coal- ratte asked all county principals and teachers to submit opinions on corpora l punishtnent. The response from schools was-tappoint- 1. ing. (11 out of 27 schools,responded) but the general theme of the responses, indicated a willingness to retain the strap in the system. In the snbmissionsfrom the county teachers and principal- . Cochrane read " pertinent quotes that said the strap ''should be kept as a last resort," . another said it, "should be retained and used with discre- tion." one submission said "it is not being bused" and another read "it is a symbol of authority that deters deviant behaviour." Cochrane pointed out that a major point for consideration came from the principal of a trainable retarded school who said, "there is a time and need in a 'trainable retarded school to protect the pupil from harming him -or herself' Secondary school principals suggested the use of the strap was not a significant issue in high school and that is has not been used for many4ears. The use of force; a report said. is sometimes necessary but infrequent. The elementary school principal's assoeia- tion said the strap should be maintained only as a last resort adding that there were • several alternate methods for controciing students. In the county's elementary schools the strap .has been used 14 times in the last 6 %months and the principals insist its use should be the perogative of the school board and not a unilateral decision Of the Ministry. The report said the public views discipline as ' • •ir titliAtt.• 11, SR • one of the most pressing problems in the system along with increases in vandalism. Despite a direct plea to the public to offer - submissions on the use of corporal punish- ment. Cochrane only received one letter from a Goderich ratepayer who opposed the abolition of corporal punishment and turn to page 2* oars - namesrii rincipal :Qf Kpss. The principal of Ripley District School (RDS) was named the principal of Kincar- dine District Secondary School (KDSS) at the Bruce County Board of Education's meeting Tuesday: 13ut Bill Turvill will also- be keeping his position of principal at RDS. This dual principalship is something new, according to Mr. Turvill, and the board feels there will be considerble cost savings. Present Kincardine principal Don Carroll was named superintendent for the board some time ago and will be replacing Keith Waldie. The projected enrolment for RDS students next September is 115 while Kincardine expects 665 students. Ripley has an administrative assistant • to help Mr; Turvill in his duties at RDS while in Kincardine there is a vice principal. Mr. Turvill said a vice principal can only be employed at a school with over 450 students. This year's administrative assistant in Ripley is Peter Woodhall. He replaced Floyd Stanley who is on sabbatical leave until September, Kincardine's vice principal is John Petrie. • Wed't hose Identity Director of education, Jack Bowers told The News Thursday "this move is being made simply because it makes sense educationally and finanCially. The Ripley identity would remain.. This is not a move to remove identities but a move to combine administrations. ' CA,
