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.

Board have established Joint conunittees which will permit the continuation of the former informal al liaison committee formed in 1984.

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.
