In the middle row are Lori • By'Willma DUBLIN Concerned about the :rights of parents, the Huron -Perth separate school board last week tabled an amendment to the board policy on questioning of students by police. ' • Trustee Vincent Young of Goderich pointed.out that the amendment ' made no mention of a parent being present during questioning, which resulted in a lengthy discussion. William Eckert, director ofl# education, suggested the policy be referred back to the policy committee. He advised committee mem- bers to discuss .proposed amendments with local police officials to "try it on for size". Mr. Eckert said the reason the policy is before the board for revision is to give support to teachers and principals and provide them, with a firm policy to follow should the need arise. He said no child .should be questioned at °school by - police if it could be avoided, but if it is necessary then a parent or guardian should be present. Trustee Ronald Murray added that no child should be questioned bye the police until a parent gives consent and is able to be present, if so desired. Trustee David O'Reilly' asked the director how many times the questioning of a student by polide has oc- curred, and was told there have been three instances during the past year. John McCauley, education superintendent, remarked that police in both Huron and Gavreluk, Cheryl Delmage, Ian Metcalte, Darrin ;Hick Murray King; lteve Nicholson, Brett Cameron, Doug 1110 Hanula and Mla Lewis. In the back row are Mike Byron Thompson,.Mike'iCrump, Darrin McDougall, 'Robbie Wil more and Peter George.

' • • Board members agreed,' but Mr.'Murray noted there is always ` a chance that, unless the policy is firmly stated, : an occasion could arise when a child' would be• questioned when a parent could not be reached. The current policy outlines the board's desire that all school personnel cooperate with law enforcement agencies, but states it is important that the individual. rights of students and parents be protected. It • says police in- vestigations are to be con- ducted in the school only in cases of utmost emergency. -If investigative procedures call for questioning of a child or children. the following procedures must be followed: The police department must- have received the consent of parents or guardian to question their children; The officers •should be wearing plain clothes in preference to a uniform; . The visit to theschool must have been arranged with the principal in advaaCe; • The questioning , must be done privately, in the presence of the principal or a teacher appointed by the principal: ..If a parent cannot be contacted, the principal will make the decision whether or not to • allow the questioning. • - B'ieLAW: -TABLED ?' i ; Another policy bylaw, was tabled until the next meeting " on July 21. It concerns the board's • wish to be of assistance -to the community by permitting involvement of the schools in community service orders. Appropriate school -related . volunteer work projects are considered to be: Maintenance or improve- ^ ments to school' buildings or grounds under the direction of the supervisor of buildings and maintenance; Involvement in school -programs under present board policy on non -school personnel volunteer teachers' aides. This bylaw would spell out the details of a previously passed motion agreeing in principle to provide work for young people who have run afoul of the law in some minor way, and have been sentenced to community work in place of a jail term. Mr. O'Reilly, who serves . on the community, services committee in Stratford, said they would not be dealing with hardened criminals, but rather' with people who have slipped off the path. He said he could appreciate the concern expressed when it was proposed they might have some of these people working in the schools and involved with students, but said the board will be depending on the integrity of the director of the volunteer program. "We have grass to cut, fences to fix and 1 think I would prefer them to be working around the school outside school hours."

On the transportation of special education students to the three schools where Classes, are • provided, St. Josephs, Clinton, and St. Michael's and St. Joseph's schools, Stratfbrd, the board will provide transportation via existing bus routes where possible.
