A committee made up of principals and administration recommended additionat sec- retarial time. because. de- spite declining enrolment, - the secretaries workload is increasing. The additional time is effective Sept. I, 1983. Listowel Central Public School principal John Patter- son said that over the years schools have been losing secretarial time and yet the workload is increasing. He attributes the increase to several factors including spe- cial education paperwork and the handling of purchase orders by the secretaries. An additional 122.5 hours per week has been approved for elementary schools, up 3frgm the current 623 hours pdr week. The number of s retarial positions for sec- ondary schools will increase to 21.2 up from 19 now. Superintendent of schools Adam Stecher said the pre- sent cost to' the board for secretarial salaries is 5249,535 for elementary and 5289,489 for secondary. The additional hours and number of secretaries is expected to cost 570,000 and to 580,000 above the present salaries. Listowel trustee Rev. John Anderson asked how to ex- plain to ratepayers the ever increasing costs of education despite declining enrolment. 'Education is not static," replied Mr. Stecher, noting that the public has all kinds of expectations of the schools. "A few years ago parents weren't as visible as they are now. Their demands and expectations are growing." Trustee Rodney Bell of Shakespeare suggested other alternatives such as dicta - phones and secretarial pools he considered. He asked for a delay in approving the in- creased secretarial time, but it was approved by the board in an 8.5 unrecorded vote. Director of education Paul Sherratt•said the new policy. for secretarial time, based on school enrolment, does take declining enrolment into con• sideration. The new policy will give each school secretary a maxi- mum of 35 hours per week except for Elma Township Public School, Upper Thames Elementary School in Mit- chell and Avon and Jul*, Public Schools in Stratffrd which will have a maximumpf 42 hours of secretarial time per week. Secondary schools' secre- tarial staff will range from a low of 2.6 at Mitchell District High School to a high of six at Stratford Northwestern Se- condary School. JELLO JELLY POWDERS 85 G. PKGS.
