the 1978-79 school calendars
Monday making only one
change from the calendars
submitted by school prin-
cipals, denial of a request
from SHDHS to use the first
day of school as a
professional development
day.
Herb Turkheim, trustee
from Zurich, told the board
he was opposed to the use of
school opening day as a PD
day. He said the teachers at
South Huron asked for two
development days in Sep-
tember and that one of them
was the first day of school.
He said the teachers wanted
the day to organize
timetables and classes and
to iron out any curriculum
problems.
Turkheim told the board
that he felt the use of opening
day for those purposes was
unnecessary, suggesting
that teachers get together
sometime before September
4, the first day of school. He
said the teacher's contract
was from September 1 and if
they wanted to meet in the
schools they could do so on
one of the three days prior to
the first day of school.
"We're getting a lot of
flack in the south end of the
county over this," he said.
Director of education John
Cochrane told the board that
the teachers at South Huron
felt that they actually gain
time by using the first day of
school for professional
development. He said the
board grants secondary
schools eight PD days at the
end of June for preparation
of curriculum for the next
school year. The director
said that practice was both
"customary and necessary."
He said three PD days were
planned for the secondary
school teachers by ad-
ministration and the
remaining two days were
left at the discretion of the
school. He said South Huron
took one of those days at the
beginning of the year and felt
it was justified.
Colborne Trustee Shirley
Hazlitt said she was inclined
to agree with Turkheim
claiming the teachers should
be readyto teach when school
started. She said opening
day was normally used to
settle students problems
over books, timetables and
scheduling and was not an
instructional day. She said
the second day was an in-
structional day but that
South Huron would not be
teaching the second day of
school because of the PD
day.
Cochrane told the board
that for teachers to use one
of the three days prior to
opening day would require
them to use the Labor Day
weekend. He said the
Weather -person
at Playhouse
James Murphy, Artistic
Director for the Huron
Country Playhouse an-
nounced recently that
CFPL's Judy Savoy has
accepted an invitation to
appear in the Playhouse
production, Parlor, Bedroom
and Bath.
Miss Savoy will appear in
the part of a gossip colum-
nist who, while getting the
scoop, gets entangled in an
hilarious menage a trois.
Miss Savoy appeared on
stage in a number of
productions before becoming
involved in Radio and. T.V.
Parlor, Bedroom and Bath
is the 20's entry of the
Playhouse 1978 Festival of
Summer Theatre which
salutes six decades. Co-
authored by Charles Bell, a
prominent Hamilton lawyer,
the play became a smash hit
on Broadway and later
became a Hollywood film
starring Buster Keaton.
Remaining a favourite
throughout the 20's, the play
then fell into obscurity. The
Playhouse will give the
famous old play its first
showing in perhaps 40 or 50
years.
The production,,the second
of the Playhouse season,
opens for a one week run
beginning July 18.
teachers contract began
September 1 but pointed out
that teachers only get paid
for the days school is open
and that they wouldn't be
paid for using one of the days
on the weekend.
"This is not the year to be
suggesting that teachers be
in school early," warned the
director.
Goderich Trustee Dorothy
Wallace said she couldn't
understand how the matter
got to the board. She said the
board was a policy maker
and this matter fell under the
duties of administration. She
said she felt it was
something the pincipals
should be doing themselves.
"If administration doesn't
do what the board wants it to
do.maybe it's time to tell it
what to do," said Turkheim.
The board approved an
amended motion giving
teachers at South Huron any
other day than opening day
as for professional
development. The school
calendar has four statuatory
holidays for both elementary
and secondary schools,
Monday, December 25, 1978
to January 2, 1979, both dates
inclusive as the Christmas
break, Monday March 19 to
Friday March 23 both dates
inclusive as the mid -winter
break, and seven PD days
for elementary schools and 13
for secondary schools.
