Huron Board of Education Adopts New
Policy Regarding Maternity Leave
"There are some things the
board controls and some things
it doesn't, " observed Robert
Elliott, vice-chairman of the
Huron County Board of Education
at a meeting Monday evening
in Clinton.
Elliott was referring to the
policy which was approved by
the board regarding maternity
leave for female teachers.
The board had learned it had
no choice but to approve the
policy which became law during
the summer when the Ontario
government passed legislation
inaugurated by the Department
of Labor regarding pregnancy
leave. -
The legislation gives female
employees six weeks leave
prior to the birth of a child and
six weeks leave of absence after
the delivery.
Where female teachers are
concerned, this makes it possible
for a teacher to remain in the
classroom until six weeks before
she is delivered. It also makes
it impossible for a female teach-
er to lose her job during pregn-
ancy if she so choses to retain it.
Some board members were
particularly perturbed by the
fact that a female teacher may
renew a contract at the end of
the school year knowing full
well that she will be having a
child in the first few months of
the new term.
"That's unfair to the child, "
noted John Broadfoot, Bruce -
field, "and I mean the child in
osillgonommrsomenuasoson
school."
"Six weeks is three months, "
said Robert Elliott, "That's get-
ting on to half the school year."
Many members agreed that if
a teacher was delivered towards
the end of the school term, it
could be concluded that she may
not have been aware of her
condition whet she renewed her
contract.
They agreed to ask the direct-
or of education to draft a brief
for presentation to the OPSTA,
Trustees Council and the local
members of parliament advoc-
ating that teachers be made
exempt from this legislation.

Scholarship in Science in the
amount of $100 was established
for F,E, Madill Secondary Schoo:
Wingham, Monday evening at
the regular meeting of the Huron
County Board of Education.

W, S. Hall was a principal in
Wingham from 1934 to 1959. An
award was presented by Mr. Hall
for proficiency in biology for
some years.
Last year, his son, Dr. Hall
continued the award. At that
time he indicated his interest in
establishing a memorial scholar-
ship and later confirmed his int-
ention with his letter and cheque,
