Board drops safety patrols
Ity Janice Middleton
The Huron County board of education
voted to discontinue school safety patrols
at public schools in Goderich and Exeter at
Monday night's meeting.
"Legislation defines- the limits of a
board's jurisdiction over pupils as only
while on school property or while
travelling on a =heal bus," D.J. Cochrane,
directorof educatibit, informed trirstees.
The board is in a position where it might
be sued if an accident occurred ata board
sanctioned crosswalk, he said.
Student safety patrols wM not °- be
operating this September, _while board-
paid adult guards will remain at the cross
walks until December 31.
The cost of crossing guards at Hlghway
4, near Exeter public school, is shared by
the board and Exeter cOrtnciL There is also
a board employed guard on Highway 21 at
Victoria PublicSchool in Goderich.
In Goderich, grade 6 pupils were
members of a school safety patrol "It is
my opinion that responsibility for helping
children to cross the street is that of an
adult guard. Grade 6 students are not of an
age to accept the responsibility," said Mr.
Cochrane.
lit Clinton and Wingham, crossing
guards are employed by the town council.
Local police oversee school safety in
Seaford).
Trustee Jack Alexander of Wingham
said the board "should be paying in all
municipalities or none. We have paid our
guard in Wingham for several years and if
• I'd known that the board paid for guards
elsewhere, 1 would have brought this up
before now."

director of education would need to write
"a diplomacy letter" to _Exeter and
Goderich councils asking that the
responsibility for the children's safety at
crossings be the town's.
Trustee John Elliot...suggested that the
affected councils inform the board by
December if they will employ crossing
guards. "Highway 4 is dangerous, I don't
want to see the children abandoned," he
said.
"The board has no cost saving ulterior
motive," said Mr. Cochrane, but is merely
attempting to conform to ministry
regulation.
Other business discussed at the meeting
included the feasibility of a optional swim
program for elementary school pupils at
Vanastra corrununity centre during the
winter months.
During 1974-75, pupils from Clinton,
Nutlet and Huron Centennial public
schools participated in a series of lessons.

provided from the schools' budget.
