number of effective strategies for building
better public understanding and support for
the school system. Ideas collected will be

portunity to offer suggestions about how the
HCBE might improve its image with the
families served by the school system.
Several Communications Committee

respected by many people in the county. Bill
Black principal at Blyth Public School,
reported, "I've found that 99 per cent of the
people I've talked to said that communica-
tions were great."
In explaining the goal of the Communica-
tions Committee, Mary Anne Dempsey,
trustee for Goderich, told committee
members that this year the HCBE trustees
outlined one of their goals as improving
public relations within the sytem and m the
community as a whole. She noted, "ere
was a feeling out there that they (trustees)
didn't have enough information."
She said that the ministry of education has
advised school boards to re-examine their
communication policies, and she noted, "If

Sally Rathwell, Clinton-Tuckersmith
