W. Wallace had asked that the matter be re -discussed since it is now necessary for a teacher accepting public office even at the municipal level to be absent from school without pay. This necessarily affects the tea- cher's pension arrangement and it therefore dictates that in order to qualify for pension at the end of a teaching career, the teacher must work to make up for the time lost on municipal or politic- al business. The board did resolve, however, that teachers or other employees may serve as a member of a civ- ic body such as the library board, the hospital board, a conservat- ion authority, a planning board etc. without in any way inter- ferring with or exploiting their primary function as a board employee. Policy was also agreed upon regarding the matter of police- men coming to the schools to question students. It was decided that no student under the age of 21 years shall be questioned on school premises by any police officer except with written authority of the parent or guardian of the pupil; that students should not give volunt- ary statements without first cons- ulting their parents or guardians; and that no lockers and other depositories of students shall be examined by any police officer unless a warrant has been obtain- ed or is authorized by a parent or guardian of the student. The exception to this policy is under Section 112 of the Liquor Control Act in that if a police officer informs a principal that he believes that liwuor is illegally kept or had, he may search, with- out warrant, any locker, depos- itory, motor vehicle or other conveyance in or on school property and the principal cannot prevent him from making that search. Snow removal tenders have been approved ranging from $5. 5C per hour for a man and loader to $12 per hour for a man and a blower. Successful bidders were Russel W. Irvin for Brookside PS, $8. per hour; Glen Layton, Clint- on PS, $10. per hour; Gordon Bosman, East Wawanosh PS, $8. per hour; Glen Price, Holmesville PS. $8. per hour; Edmund Flunk- ing, Hullett CPS, $9 per hour; Walter Weber, Stephen CPS, $8.50 per hour; Harold Metcalfe, Turnberry CPS, $5.50 per hour for loader and $12 per hour for blower; and C.A. McDowell Limited, Usborne CPS. $10 per hour. Three break-ins were reported at Seaforth PS. Seaforth DHS, and Clinton P.S, The board learned that perhaps 50 percent of all damages have been recovered through insurance and that no one has been appre- hended as yet for the troubles. Chairman John Lavis warned that insurance rates could rise if vandalism continues and suggest - ed that an all- night custodian in the schools could be helpful if the board would at some time give consideration to such a proposal. Max Malpass, manager of pur- chasing and transportation, rep- orted to the board that the cost per mile for elementary students transported on school buses under contract is 52 cents per day; for secondary students riding school buses under contract, 47 cents; for students riding board -owned buses, 52 cents. This study is based on the 1970-71 school year. "The cost per student for trans- portation in the county for the present school year is 53 cents per student per day, " reported Malpass.
