The pamphlet sent out by the custodians, cleaners and mainte- nance workers was by no means intended to be self -admiring or ego- tistical. The flyer was clearly outlin- ing a days work for the job descrip- tion of a custodian. Some people may not be aware of all the responsibilities custodians encounter in'any given day .at our schools. Custodians do a lot more than just push a broom. They are a. intricate part of every school. Secondly, the flyer never said that, private enterprise does not take pride in their worlc. The custodian's Solder was pointed out that private business • depends upon profit as a means of motivation, Profit should neve r 'be discussed in connection with any school, Schools, are there for the stu- dents --rewards and profits are mea- sured by the students' results and accomplishments. The flyer distributed to the publit was a democratic right to make indi- viduals aware of Bill 104 and how many public employees (custodians, secretaries, libratians and education aids) eouldlose their jobs if this hill were to be passed. Bill 104 will take away all successor rights of public employees. . Each and every public employee plays a major part in the running of any school. They are not ,an object to be tossed away by this government. They arepart of, the -school family. -For people of all ages -For people who are considering getting connected to the Internet for the first tithe -For people who Want to learn more about the Internet -Bookularks, Saving $.r Sending Images, E -Mail, Security, Newsgroups, Mailing Lists, Chat Groups, Internet Phones, Saving $r Sending Music Files, Pownloading and How•to Search for .
