The official board of Hen- sall United Church met on Board needs private meetings Trustees of the Huron County Board of Education believe' their ritual of private meetings before of- ficial board sessions are necessary. In a special board meeting Monday, Director of Educa- tion, John Cochrane asked trustees if they wanted any changes made in the com- mittee of the whole struc- ture for the coming term. Most trustees agreed that the private sessions were ,necessary when discussing personnel problems. Cochrane prompted the discussion by asking if any changes were needed in the board's approach to private sessions. The minutes of the in camera meeting are in- cluded in the following months agenda and all recommendations are covered by a single motion. Trustee Clarence McDonald said the closed sessions were not being abused and were a necessary part of board business. "There are things discuss- ed in committee and that's where they belong," he said. "We can't change that because we have to protect our personnel." Goderich trustee, Dave Gower, said the closed ses- sion should be conducted at the conclusion of the regular board meeting and the sub- jects to be discussed in the closed session should be listed. "ft is normal to state the purpose of going into a dos- ed Session but here it's.done every month," he said. "On- ly the trustees know What the subject is and at the end a blanket statement covers all motions. It would be more open to the public if there was a list of what was to be discussed." Eugene Frayne said there was no purpose to Gower's suggestions and that all dos- ed session motions were in- cluded in the minutes. Personnel Relations Ad- ministrator, Peter Gryseels, said time was needed to notify personnel if termina- tion of a contract was in- volved. "If an employee reads it in the local press the next day it doesn't give us time to talk; to them," he said. "If it is not public until a month later we have the time to notify employees of the changes."
