Bd. of Education opts for 5 committee plan The Huron County Board of Education made a move at its Monday meeting that should en- courage greater involvement of trustees in board business in 1978 and result in more debate during monthly board meetings. The board realigned its committee system, dropping the present two -committee policy and re- placing it with a five -committee arrangement. The move was made after a three-day board seminar held earlier in November. Trustees met in a three-day private ses- sion to review its organization and method of cooperation and agreed to give the five -committee system a one-year trial period to see if it is more effective. Director of Education John Cochrane said Monday that the five -committee system is design- ed to make more members of the board actively involved in board business. He said the new system should encourage more debate during board meetings and 'should make the public more a- 4 - H achievement honored at annual Awards Night More than $1,200 in prize money, certificates, pins and plaques was awarded to mem- bers of 30 Huron County 4-1-1 agri- cultural clubs during the 30th annual achievement night Nov. 4 in Clinton.

Cochrane explained that under the old two -committee system the bulk of the board's work was done at the committee level and only involved half the board mem- bers. He said seven of the 16 trustees sat on the education committee and seven on the management - committee. The vice-chairman usually sat in on one committee's meetings and the chairman on the other, "When a committee made a re- commendation to the board to be voted on it already had half th board voting in favor of it witho the other half even knowing abo it," said Cochrane. "What ually happened was the other ha would assume that if the oth committee was in favor of it, must be good and voted in fav of it." The five -committee syste was presented to the board by Cochrane after he worked with the four superintendents of education to break down board responsibilities and set up com- mittees to handle them. He said the committees will each be given an area of. business to handle and will work with a superintendent at the committee level. He explained that he basic- ally paralleled the committees with the superintendents roles in the education system. Each committee will consist of a chairman elected by the board and two members appointed by a striking committee made up of the board chairman and vice- chairman and the four elected chairmen. An executive commit tee will consist of the board chairman and vice-chairman, the past chairman if he or she wishes and one or two members of the board, whichever is required to bring the committee membership to four. Other committees will be the fiscal and property, policies com- mittee, the instructional person- nel policies committee, the school programs policy committee and the student policies committee. Each will have a chairman and two appointed members. Cochrane said no trustee will sit on more than one committee, ensuring that every trustee has e responsibilities to handle. He said ut the committee will have to re- ut view any material offered on a us- recommendation and then sell it if to the board at the regular meet- er ing. It will then be up to the re - it maining trustees to ask questions or on the subject and ensure that the decision will be beneficial to their m constituents. "The biggest criticism the, board receives is .that it rubber stamps things," said Cochrane. "This is bound to create more de- bate, removing that criticism." Cochrane went on record with the board as being opposed to the two -committee system. He said the committees were too large and weren't working effectively to make all the trustees aware of what the board was doing. He said he wasn't going to com- pletely condemn the two -commit- tee system and say it was ineffec- tive in handling board business, but he would ray that he hoped the new system would be better. He said that the recent Huron County school system evaluation - report, which was completed in May, was not the reason the board changed its policy. He pointed out that the report "planked away at communica- tion problems" but it was not the impetus for the change. The five -committee system will be on trial for one year and the board will evaluate its results in November of 1978. At the January meeting the committees will be established and should be func- tioning by February of next year. "We'll have to stub our toes and make some changes as we go along," said Cochrane. "We'll have to see how it goes." The board also changed the for- mat for its meetings to permit more time during board sessions for debate. Meetings now start at 1:00 p.m. with committee of the whole, and the public portion be- gins at 2:00 p.m. Now the com- mittee of the whole will meet on the third Monday of each month • and that session will be followed by the four committee meetings, held simultaneouly in the board offices. The,monthly meetings will be- gin in public session at 1:00 p.m. on the first Monday of every month.

The Advance -Times last week are incorrect. The story indicated the al- lowance for a one -room detached dwelling goes from $84 per month to $122 per month. This is wrong. It is not a monthly allbwance but an annual allowance. All al- lowances quoted in the story are for the period of one year, not one month.
