Huron County Board of Education briefs Trustees receive appointments to committees In her inaugural address to the Huron County Board of Education on Jan. 10, new Chair Roxanne Brown, of Clinton, stated that she "hopes the board can continue to work in an atmosphere of co-opera- tion". "Administration, federation and union groups, parent and communi- ty organizations and the business community must work together to ensure an equitable and quality education for the students of Huron County," says Ms Brown. With the HCBE's mission for inclusion, the board is taking steps to welcome the community into school programs as well as provide services for the district, she says. Partnerships are being developed with municipalities and county council as well as Conestoga Col- lege and Centralia International College. ***** Employment Equity Coordinat- Over the next five years, the drains in East Wawanosh Twp. will receive regular check-ups, says the new drainage superintendent, Jeff King. Mr. King was hired by the municipality, through the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority at the Jan. 10 meeting of council. As an employee of the Authority and based at Falls Reserve Conser- vation Area, Mr. King would be available to respond to any emer- gencies which arise in the town- ship, could acquire work permits more easily through the Ministry of Natural Resources, get new drain permits and assess out-of-drain maintenance. An eight year employee with MVCA, Mr. King has functioned as the drainage superintendent for Hullett Twp. for five years and as ing Committee has developed a mandate which sets March 1 as the timeline for posting an employment equity plan covering all employees. The board directed all commit- tees and the administration to pre- pare detailed estimates with the utmost constraints possible, for the 1995 budget. The groups should seek reduc- tions where applicable and incorpo- rate increases only where necessary to meet costs such as utilities, Canada Pension Plan payments and similar mandated contributions. Adjustments will also be made in areas where provisions were inade- quate in 1994. The board plans to schedule a public meeting to obtain input regarding spending matters. Trustees were appointed to vari- ous committees: Bea Dawson, Hay and Usbome Twps. and Zurich, and their tile drainage inspector for two. By developing a partnership with the Authority, the township will benefit from the Authority's exper- tise in forestry, pollution control, erosion control and advice, says MVCA President Ross Duncan, who attended the meeting to sup- port Mr. King's application. The partnership would also allow the municipality to share costs with MVCA, for any training or courses attended by Mr. King. Another objective of the new superintendent is to get more local contractors involved in the clean- ups, thereby making the program more efficient. The cost to the township for Mr. King's services will be $15 per hour plus mileage and the contract will be renewed annually.

Art Clarke of Maitland Engineer- ing Services informed the members of the council that waste can be deposited at the present working area for 2 1/2 to three years. Once a new area is opened, each munici- pality coming into the site will be charged a per tonnage fee. If Wingham proceeds with its plan to deposit waste at the Morris landfill, Mr. Clarke estimates the tonnage would be 10 to 12 tonnes per week or approximately 600 tonnes per year. The budget will be prepared to tee. The purpose of the committee is to implement the Food And Nutrition Policy for the Huron Pub- lic Education System. ***** At the Dec. 5 meeting, chairs were selected for each of the stand- ing committees.
