At the last Board
July, tru ,tee Vince Young was
asked to approach the'Huron
County board of education on.
the possibility of .tendering
together far fuel to supply, the
boards' properties. On a
question from Stratford trustee
David , Teahen, Mr. Geoffrey
said that the Huron board had
°'completed its 'fuel negotiations
for this year and therefore the
matter was dropped.
A. Principal, -rather than one
or two -Board members, will be
sent to a Toronto- meeting
which is organ-izing Education
'Week throughout the province,
the board decided. Trustees
Geoffrey and Shantz, who_ have
attended these , meetings
previously, both said they felt
that sending a principal would
accomplish more in • getting
local participation in
.Education Week. Superinten-
dent . Vintar agreed saying "a
principal can -get information
out to the schools through the
-Principal's Association."
Trustee Vince Young repor-
ted for the persohxrel committee
that Barbara Rau has -been
hired as a ',custodian at Ecole
Ste Marie . an'd that Michael
