Trustee Maggie Laprade
said -the change that limits
delegations is.not'iiltended to
stop anyone from acing
heard but to "give a more
fair, open hearing tb
everyone" and, with fewer
speakers, .increase the.
"quality" of what trustees
comprehend.
Education director Lorne
Rachlis•'pointed out that the
by-laws contain provisions to
allowadditional delegations
at subsequent meetings or to,
call special meetings.
Trustee Ray Ford said
speaking'to•thc board as a
delegation is a "privilege"
that has been abused "by a
small numberfof individuals
who Sank to the Level in
December of wasting half an
hour of the board's time by
readinga novel to us."

former Perth school -hoard

present a delegation to the
provincial government since
there were three or four times'
more peeple wanting to:
speak than time slots to
accommodate them. '
She blamed the media for.
