Teachers and Physical Contact The HCBE committee identified this as a - "sensitive and complex issue. The commit- tee developed a five point guideline in the matter of physical contact. It was further noted that the committee strongly recom- mended the use of common sense in this area and in the applications of the guidelines. They include: "Physical in- teraction between adults and children re- quires common sense and thoughtful intent; It is important not to lose sight of the positive value, need, and meaning of physical contact; Controlling the excite- ment and/or distress of a child may require physical contact such as a hand on the shoulder or a pat on the back. These may also provide needed reassurance.; Sometimes physical restraint is required in a crisis situation to provide safety, protec- tion from ihtimidatien, protection of proper- ty or to protect class/school proceedings; Defining the use of appropriate physical force is a difficult, if not impossible task." • Regarding the physical contact issue, the committee recommended "that no attempt should be made to delineate in a written policy statement what is acceptable and non -acceptable physical contact with HELP KEEP RED CROSS .11, READY! mir Notice Change in Hydro Rates DUE TO THE HIGHER COST OF PROVIDING SERVICE, LUCKNOW HYDRO SYSTEM finds it necessary to increase retail rates on all energy used on and after March 1, 1987.

VILLAGE OF LUCKNOW HYDRO SYSTEM students. School staffs must reach common understandings, through discussions organized by the principal, to understand the differences between acceptable and non - acceptable physical contact with students." A further recommendation noted, "That every effort be made to encourage teachers to accept the fact that physical intervention may sometimes be necessary. It is further recommended that senior administrd''tors, staff and principals assure teachers that they will have support in situations where the teacher becomes involved in a justifiable physical intervention. Disciplinary Interventions The committee reported that it spent con- siderable time discussing a number of strategies regarding effective student management and appropriate disciplinary actions by teachers and school ad- ministrators. The committee stressed that "the use of corporal punishment be re- confirmed as an inappropriate disciplinary action. It is understood that corporal punish- ment is not currently practised in any Huron County Board of Education school." The committee suggested that alternative disciplinary actions be implemented, in- cluding suspensions, home instruction alter- natives, team interventions in extreme cases, involvement of neer counsellors and involvement of outside agencies.

Outside Agencies Support and contact with outside agencies was seen as an important link in the pro- cedure and understanding of teacher - student relationships. The committee said' that the interdisciplinary approach involves professionals from a variety of areas, in- ctucting social service, health and judicial agencies. It was suggested that joint efforts between these groups will help in the work to find solutions to behavioral and disciplinary concerns in the school system. "It is recommended that principals take 4teps to raise the'. awareness level of teaching staff of the existing producers and requirements regarding contact with com- munity agencies."
