New policies on school trips
(by Shirley J. Keller)
Some additions were made
to the present policy on Field
Trips and Excursions within
Huron County Schools. Decision
on the matter was reached
Monday evening at the board's
regular November meeting in
Clinton.
It was agreed that students
participating in trips which
occur either entirely or in part
during vacation periods from
the school do so as private
individuals and not as members
of a group sponsored by the
school. Teachers who accomp-
any the students are also consid-
ered private individuals and
not representatives of the board.
Teachers who may be absent
from school as a result of part-
icipation in such trips will be
subject to loss of pay for any
school days for which they are
absent.
The matter of School Safety
Patrols was also discussed.- It
was decided that parents must
give written consent for their
children to act as Safety Patrol-
lers; such students will be prop-
erly trained by the police;
administration of the patrols .
will be through the co-operat-
ion of the principal of the
school and the local police;
and students involved in Safety
Patrols are to be specifically
instructed that they have no
authority to stop vehicular
traffic.
Three new custodians were
hired. They are Grant Turner
beginning duties at Goderich
District Collegiate Institute
and T. Nethery and C, Finnig-
an, starting at F.E. Madill
