Bill Gerth gets promotion,
superintendent of ed.
The Avon Maitland District
School Board has announced the
promotion of Bill Gerth from
senior principal to superintendent
of education effective Sept. 1. The
superintendent position replaces the
senior principal position.
Gerth began his teaching career
in St. Thomas in 1978 working as a
teacher and later as the
intermediate-senior curriculum co
ordinator. He also held associate
teacher status with the Faculty of
Education, UWO, for six of those
years.
He moved to Huron County
Board of Education in 1990, and
since that time has worked in vice
principal, night school principal,
principal, and senior principal
positions. As a principal, his
leadership style reflected his view
that schools should be positive,
inviting communities that focus not
only on the enhancement of skills,
knowledge and attitudes, but on the
development of well rounded
citizens capable of meeting the
future with confidence.
At a system level, Gerth joined
the senior staff of the Avon
Maitland District School Board as
senior principal with responsibility
for school operations last
September. He has been actively
involved with School Council
Forum, the Board Negotiation
Team, Strategic Planning
Committee, and the Secondary
School Reform Steering
Committee.
Gerth became the inaugural
president of the Avon Maitland
Principal’s Council in 1998,
directing the formation and initial
growth of one of the first
recognized districts of Ontario
Principal’s Council. At a provincial
level, he has served on a
workgroup for the Minister’s Task
Force on Recruitment, on the
Ontario Principal’s Council, and on
the Accreditation Committee of the
College of Teachers.
Gerth is looking forward with
great enthusiasm to the challenging
and exciting role of superintendent
of education.
AMDSB will not run deficit
The Avon Maitland District
School Board will not be following
the lead of some other boards
which are budgeting for a deficit.
The board has seriously considered
requests from boards and from
other groups and individuals, and
has weighed these against
information coming from the
Ontario Public School Boards
Association and legal counsel.
An attempt by a board to exceed
provincial spending limits
contravenes the education act,
places that board in a position of
possible insolvency which may
cause harm to the education of
students, and places trustees in a
difficult legal position both as
trustees and personally. It may
result in an escalating process
which includes in-year reductions
to legislative grants, prohibition on
the board’s ability to borrow,
appointment of an investigator into
the board’s financial affairs,
prosecution of trustees with fines of
up to $5,000 each, joint and several
liability among Board members,
disqualification of trustees for five
years from elected office, and
ultimately, provincial take-over of
the operation of the board.
The trustees believe that it would
be an abrogation of their duty as
trustees to follow a course which
may ultimately result in the
government taking over the
operation of the board, and allow a
government representative to make
cuts and dispose of assets as
deemed necessary. This, in effect,
would remove the control of the
operation of the school board and
its schools from local
democratically-elected body to a
provincially-appointed government
bureaucrat.
The board is also not willing to
provide the government with an
excuse to remove trustees from a
future role in overseeing local
education.
The board will continue its
efforts, individually and in
partnership with other local groups,
to lobby government for changes to
the funding formula so that
students in rural Ontario are
guaranteed a high quality of
education within reasonable
travelling distance of home.
