Separate board insures trustees against conflict BY STEPHANIE LEVE Huron -Perth Separate School Board trustees are now insured if they are charged under the conflict of - interest act. At the Board's Oct. 12 meeting in Dublin, the trustees approved by a 6-5 vote to pay a $150 a year premium for the insurance. The insurance policy pro- vides an 80 per cent pay back of legal expenses if the sued trustee is proven innocent. Trustee Vincent Young said if a ratepayer challenges a trustee with conflict of interest on a pan ticular voteand the trustee is proven innocent, the in- surance will pick up the legal expenses. Trustee Ron Marcy noted that the insurance only covers 80 per cent of the costs, up to a maximum of $25,000.. Trustees questioned who pays the remaining 20 per cent. It was suggested either the board could decide to pick up the remaining amount or trustees could have their own insurance policy to cover conflict of interest. Board chairman John O'Leary asked what protects him if he charges a trustee with a conflict of interest. Superintendent of business and finance Jack Lane said if a trustee suspects he has a conflict of interest, the trustee should make it known before a vote is taken. The board also approved the 1982-83 total insurance premium of $19,366. In other business, the board approved continuing the chairman's honorarium at one and a half times what trustees make. The chairman will receive, ef- fective Dec. 1, $300 per month, as of Dec. 1, 1983, the chairman will get $337.50 per month and on Dec. 1, 1984, $375 per month. The chairman currently receives $270 per month. Trustee Marcy questioned if the board should res- cind a motion It made earlier concerning trustees' sti- pend. The motion approved increasing the monthly honorarium from its present rate of $180 to $200 as of Dec. 1. This represents an approximate 12 per cent in- crease, above the five per cent recommended by the provincial government. "I see no reason to adjust it, not for the, degree it is over the restraint," said chairman O'Leary. It was noted the incoming board could roll back the trustee honorarium. Recommendations from a board review of the French as a second language program were presentedto the board. Most recommendations, deal- ing with curriculum, purchase of program material, professional activity sessions and liaison with secon- dary schools will be carried out by individual schools and the French Teachers' Association. Currently French is taught from grades four to eight, for 20 minutes a day or 60 hours a year. Chairman O'Leary again polled those trustees who hadn't yet committed themselves to running for re- election on Nov. B. Lorraine Devereaux, who represents Seaforth and Tuckersmith Township, will not be running, neither will Keith Montgomery of the Wingham area. Trustee Ray Van Vliet of the St. Marys area said he will be running. This brings the total to eight of the 14 trustees who will be seeking re- election. Does town have right to tamper with Hallowe'en, Profit asks There have been some concerns expressed as to whether Hallowe'en will be observed on Saturday, October 30 or Sunday, October 31. Witches, goblins and ghosts have traditionally trick or treated on October 31 but many parents feel that Saturday would be a. more appropriate day for youngsters to gather loot. Town council briefly discussed the matter Monday before agreeing that Hallowe'en should be celebrated on Sunday, October 31. Councillor Stan Profit said he was of the opinion that council should not tamper with the Hallowe'en date. "I don't know if we can make people go trick or treating on certain days," he says. "There is a dance set up at the high school' on Sunday so we should probably leave it that way." Drea confirms closures... • from page I The Bluewater Centre administrator said the ministry has been looking towards- placing the developmentally handicapped in community- priented settings and conceded that the phasing outofthe centre made good sense economically "Two, five or even ten years down the road is acceptable," he said. "There are not as many young people entering this facility but there are 83 people who could come back." . . The leak had obvious ,effects on the centre staff and Gregg admitted that while the facility has been the subject of rumors in the past, the ministry recommendations has created some stress among, employees. Original reports in- dicated the centre would be closed within 14 months.. The ministry suggests additionat$9.9-million be used for the development of other community services. A recommendation urges that the ministry be granted new capital of $18 million to Create smaller group home programs. The report indicated that the ministry's staff' could be trimmed by 1,163 if the recommendations were followed. hristmas mail deadlines set.
