$9.40. The .contract ,covers clerical and
secretarial staff, teacher sides and audio-
visual technicians who belong to local 1428
of the Canadian . Union of Public

The union had already ratified the•
agreement
Trustee Graeme Craig of Walton also
said a mediated' negotiating session bet-
ween the board's personnel negotiating
committee and negotiators for Huron
secondary school teachers will be held
Tuesday night in an effort to reach a 1986
agreement. •
A provincial fact -finder will attend a
meeting on. October 14, between board and
elementary school negotiators also trying
for a 1986 contract. The fact -finder is Eric
Runacres of Coldwater, appointed by the.
Education Relations Commission. He will
meet with the parties and writea report
setting out which matters have been
agreed upon and which matters remain in
dispute. The report may also contain
recommendations for settlement.
In other business it was learned the
Huron County Board of Education and the
Huron -Perth County Roi . an. Catholic
Separate School. Board have established
Joint conunittees which will permit the
continuation of the former informal al liaison
committee formed in 1984.
The new joint education liaison commit-
tees will consist of three trustees and one
administrative representative from each
of the two boards. Those representing the
Huron County Board of Education are
Trustees John Jewitt of RR 1 Londesboro;
Tony McQuail of RR 1 Lucknow and Joan
Van den Broeck of RR 4 Goderich,
Those representing the Catholic board

The joint committee will hold public
meetings to report on its work. Its duties
include exploring opportunities for
transferring facilities,' leasing facilities or
sharing services, facilities, resources and
staff. The boards will receive written
reports of proceedings and recommenda-
tions and to the planning and implementa-
tion commission.
Representatives of the Frank Cowan In-
surance Company and the Board's Agent
of Record, Gaiser Kneale Insurance Corns
pany of Exeter attended the meeting to •
discuss the 1986 Risk Management report.
The board decided to continue with its
present Barrier, the Cowan Insurance
Company, rather than join the Reciprocal
Insurance Exchange —Q The Ontario School
Boards' Insurance Exchange. The reason!
to continue with Cowan is bacause the°.
board's current policy express. November
1, 1986 and the board requires coverage for'
November and December as reciprocal)
coverage will not be available until!
January 1, 1987. If the reciprocal is .suc-'
cessful it is probable the board may par-'
ticipate in another year's time. •
A
twenty -member committee represents,
all employee groups of the board and it is
anxious to determine a number of effective
strategies for building better public
understanding and support for the school
system. It will survey all employees of the
board, as well as providing an opportunity
for parents in selected schools, to offer
suggestions aboutt how the Board might
improve its image with the 'family served
by the school system.
Members of the general public will be
encouraged to contact local trustees or
schoolprinciples to offer comments and
suggestions or the board office before Oc-
tober 27. This information will be the basis
for a major presentation to all board
employees at a special activity on May 4,
1987.
Chairman Joan Van den Broeck of the
Education Committee recommended that
° the draft copyright policy the committee
had been studying, be accepted and
distributed to all schools. This was given
board approval as well as the committee's
recommendation that the 'book The Fami-
ly, Changing Trends in Canada by
Maureen Baker as requested by F.E.
Madill Secondary School in Wingham, be
approved for use in Senior Family Studies
Courses.
Also receiving board approval were the
following recommendations that the
Board increase elementary core French
instruction in Grade 5 and 6 to 40 minutes
per day (up from 20) to comply with the
Ministry of Education requirements for a
total of 600 hour's of French at the end of
