HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1975-02-26, Page 2Members of the Huron County
Board of Education gave themselv-
es a pay raise last week • but
members were divided on the
amount of the increase.
After considerable disctission, by
a . vote of nine to six the, monthly
trustee salary was set at $300..
They previously ,received $150 per
month.
Under new Ontario legislation,
the Huron Board with about 12,000
students under their jurisdiction
could receive as much as $400 per
month for each member.
Goderich trustee Dorothy Wal-
lace opened the discussion and
opposed any increase, for board
members. She said the proposed
increase was of extreme concern to
"It will create a bad image with
our 'ratepayers. The increase will
make little dint on our 14 million
- dollar (yudgetbut-lit's- the-image l' m-
concerned about:" she added..
Marian Zinn of Lucknow sup-
ported Mri. Wallace saying "We'll
get a lot of flack if we raise our pay
too much."
Mrs. Wallace continued,• "I
don't think trustees should be paid.
But there's enough politician in me
that will accept a compromise."
She 'proposed an increase of $75
per month to $225,
Trustee Clarence McDonald of
Exeter commented "I have to
Support the ladies. I worked for
nothing on the old board."
I To 'this Molly Kunder • replied
"It's a paying job as set out, by the
government."
Vice-chairman Herb Turkheitit
said he was in favour of the pay
raise due to a heavy. workload. He
added "Last year I attended more
than.70 meetings, if that amount of
work isn't worth $300 per month we
shouldn't be trustees."
Mrs. Wallace proposed the $225,,
increase but 'this was followed by
an amendment from Cayley Hill of
the eventual rise to $300. .
- Trustee Charles Thomas 'of
Brussels originally suggested a per
diem pay arrangement saying "I
like the idea of being paid for the
work we do. I would like to ,see a
. flat $2,400 per year with an
additional $50 'for each extra
meeting. Failing this my next
closest compromise is a flat $300
per month."
Board chairman Wilfred Short-
reed will receive an additional
allowance of one-third of his basic
