Bd. of Ed. adopts
drug education policy
Look both ways
The 1991-92 Brussels Kindergarten students took part in a bus safety program at the school
last Wednesday morning. Constable John Marshall of the Goderich OPP instructed the
children in class on safety tips then took them on a trip, during which they learned the proper
way to let on and off the bus.
The trustees of the Huron County
Board of Education voted, at the
June meeting, in favour of an alco
hol and drug abuse policy, which
evolved as the result of the devel
opment of the school action plans.
The policy statements are:
1- HCBE has an interest in the
social health, personal health and
legal well-being of students.
2- It supports practices which pre
vent or reduce the harmful use of
alcohol and other drugs by influ
encing students to adopt healthy
life-styles.
3- HCBE shall endeavor to pro
vide in-service programs and
resources for all staff to develop
skills and knowledge to deal with
students affected by alcohol and
other drug use and abuse.
4- The board requires each school
staff to develop a policy and action
plan which includes preventative
education, intervention and disci
plinary procedures as they apply to
substance use.
5- The board shall endeavour to
support staff who are developing
and instituting program and prac
tices to prevent or reduce incidents
of substance use by students.
6- The board acknowledges that
alcohol and other drug use, either
on its property or at its event, inter
feres with the legitimate academic
and extracurricular interests of stu
dents and staff. The board supports
appropriate disciplinary actions
which are initiated to curtail such
use.

Everyone involved in agriculture, who completes and mails their Census
forms June 4th, performs a vital service for themselves — and for their
community.
The Census of Agriculture helps ensure the following:
• All operators, including women, in agriculture will be recognized for
their role as decision makers.
• Information will be used to defend farm interests in international trade
negotiations and disputes.
• Farm organizations often use this information to present their cases to
government.
• Many government stabilization and price support payments are
directly or indirectly based on analysis of the information.
Together, the confidential information gathered in the Census of
Agriculture and the Census of Population will ensure that you and your
farming community get your fair share of agricultural services, as well as
funding for schools, hospitals, roads, vital social services, and rural
development. With you, the Census makes good sense.
If you haven't received your Census of Agriculture form, please call toll
free, 1-800-465-1991. Call for HELP from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday,
May 30th through Friday, June 7th (excluding Sunday).
