being handled—
When school' opens next
month; parents will not be able
to buy accident insurance for
their children through the
school': This 'fact was Made
abundantly clear Monday
evening at the board of,
education meeting in Clinton.
The accident insurance,
which was available in previous
years, has been • discontinued
because it wasn't considered too
valuable in Case of student
accident. Some claims have,been
settled only after considerable
dispute oncerning • legal
interpretation of the policy and
the 6oad agreed thalp since
studtriftS are •covered by OHSIP •
through their farnilies, the •
insurance could bedropped.
Some suggestion was made
-that, dental insurancewould be
useful, but it was learned that
this, too, was unsatisfactory at
this time.
