McKillop township contri-
erth policy may hurt rural
students who want counsel
BY GERRY BLACKWELL
Students who wish to make
use of the Stratford Family
Counselling Service may not
be able to do so in confidence
because of a strictly enforced
board policy.
If a student is excused
from classes for. any reason. --„p
it is the principal's duty to 0
inform the parents.
According to a letter from
the volunteer counselling
service. this can cause pro-
blems for rural students who
are only able to keep appotnt-
ments during school hours if
they want to go home on the
bus.
"Very often." the letter
points out. "young people
(who are having trouble at
home) fear the reactions of
the parents. and need con-
siderable help and support in
seeing the validity (of involv-
ing the parents in the coun-
selling)...this usually re•
quires at least one interview
alone sometimes more."
If the school insists on
adhering to its policy of
informing the parents when a
student is excused from clas-
ses,. the confidentiality of the
counselling sessions is des-
troyed the letter says.
Under provincial legisl-
ation. "the responsibilities of
the principal (under such
, circumstances) are clear and
recise." a position paper
repared by assistant super-
intendent A.P. Sherratt
points out.
"For students 16 and 17
years of age. the Principal
cannot condone the absence
of the student from the
school without the involve-
ment of the parents." the
paper concludes.
Trustee Charlie Gates. a
member of the board of the
Stratford Family Counselling
Board. said parent l aren't
always informed when stud.
ents are excused from clas-
ses for school -related act-
ivities.
"If students can be excus-
ed from classes for a football
game." he said. "I don't see
why the schools can't let a
student go to a counselling
session without informing
the parents."
Superintendent of pro-
gram Keith Thompson con-
ceded that there may be
some laxness in communicat-
ing with parents but the
policy was clear.
"Parents must be kept
informed." he said.
Mr. Sherratt told the board
the issue was not whether
eounselling provided by the
volunteer organization was
valuable or not. The school
board had no objection to
students seeking help from it
or any other agency. he
said.
However, to make a spec-
ial exception to its policy of
keeping parents informed
was not justified, he said.
