Education trustees do
not make all the rules
BY .JOAN VAN DEN BROECK
TRUSTEE, HURON COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION
i have been asked what - if anything -
trustees do to address broad public
issues in education. Are we only 'yes
raven', rubber-stamping everything that
comes our way with no input in the
decision-making process''
As a trustee, I find it hard to counter
such thinking for. in truth, Boards of
Education are mandated to oversee I he
implementation of provincial legislation.
in other words, we do not make all the
rules.
When the province legislates regula-
tions that adversely affect the ratepayer
or the student, resolutions defining
trustee concerns are prepared and cir-
culated to other boards for support and
forwarded to the Public School Trustee
Associations. This representative body
brings the collective concerns of the
boards to the attention of the Minister of
Education.
Regularly, the board receives and ad-
dresses resolutions from other boards.
This collective effort is much more effec-
tive than any petition made directly to
the minister by an individual board.
However, as lawmakers, the province
has 1 he power to demand compliance.
Boards of Education can not act out-
side the law. For example. in the matter
of the separate school funding issue.
where the public boards do not have the
ear of the 1,egislalure, the public school
associations in concert with the teacher
federations took their position before the
courts for a const it utiunal ruling.
Local boards are charged with the
responsibility of ensuring compliance
with provincial regulations within their
jurisdiction. Trustees. as the ratepayers'
representative, ad as watchdogs ensur-
ing the judicious allocation of funds and
personnel in the cowrly within the
parameters of the regulations.
Fortunately. there is some flexibility
built into the system which allows ad-
ministrative staff and trustees the oppor-
tunity to tailor development in the county
and prioritize issues of concern in our
schools. Sound judgement on the part of
the trustees can ensure the orderly, cost-
efficient implementation of provincial
directives.
In the broader context, concerned
trustees can - and do - press their boards
to take the initiative in pressing for
Legislative change to further education
in their jurisdiction as well as across the
province.
Chairmanship is up for grabs
No trustee with the Huron County board
of education has publicly indicated an in-
terest in seeking the chairman's seat.
,John .Jewitt of Londesboro, representing
McKillop and Hullett Townships and
Seaforth, has said he will seek the vice -
chairman's position. Jewitt made his an-
nouncement at the November 4 board
meeting.
Current board chairman Eugene Frayne
of RR 3, Goderich, acclaimed for another
three year term, said he will not stand for
a third year as chairman. it has been a
tradition with the school board to allow the
chairman to serve two years.
The present vice-chairman, Art Clarke
of Wingham, gave no indication of his in-
tention. Clarke is facing an election in his
area.
Blyth trustee John Elliott said if he is re-
elected he would again like to represent
the school board on the Ontario Public
ch1ool Trustees' Association, the provin-
1 body of trustees.
