damages image
BY JEFF SEDDON
Some trustees on the Huron
County Board of Education
feel that too much business is
being done by the board
behind closed doors and that
the policy is clouding " the
board's public image. The
board asked its executive
committee to check into
items handled in committee
of the whole to see if more.can
be brought into the public
forum.,
Herb Turkheim, Zurich
trustee, said he was coif-
cerned that the board was
dealing with too many items
in committee of the whole: He
said the last private session
the . board had took three
.hours which he said was three
times longer than the board
normally spends at its
monthly sessions.
The committee of the whole
sessions allow the board to
deal with specific matters
and the policy . excludes
members of the media and
the public from the meeting
room. Normally .personnel
matters • or legal situations
which could be adversely
affected by public attention
are handled in committee •of
the whole.
The board changed its
meeting policy in 1977 and
now sets aside a special night
