County Board of Education will get behind the mothers of Huron who would like to see Sesame Street carried on local television. A letter from the board to -CFPL in London will go out shortly requesting that the program be scheduled this winter if at all possible. The action was touched off by a letter from an Exeter mother to the hoard at its regular meeting in Clinton Monday evening. Following Monday evening's regular board meeting, the following written release was distributed to the press con- cerning certain salary arrangements for this year: "The Huron County Board of Education has concluded salary negotiations with the Federations of Elementary and Secondary School teachers; with Local 210 of the Service Employees Union Exeter; Mrs. Doris Hamilton, RR 1, Hensall; Grace Wurm, Exeter; Greg Dougall, Exeter; Michael Greenacre, Exeter; Wayne Simpson, Exeter; Wm. C. Mercer, Exeter; Mrs. Wallace Makins, Hay; Cindy Webb, RR 2, Dashwood ; David Russell, Exeter. Increase for instructors Night school instructors at the five county high schools this winter will receive $9 per hour, an increase of $1 per hour over last year. The board was told that instructors spend a great deal of time preparing these courses for which there is no remuneration, and receive no gas mileage consideration. The Advisory Vocational Committee had asked that night school instructor be paid at a rate of $10 per hour - or a 25 percent increase. Chairman of that committee, Garnet Hicks, Exeter, told the board the wage decision would be passed onto the AVC and added, "You'll hear from them later." The move is on for night school attendance "in bigger numbers, said Hicks. He added that the advantage of shorter courses is being studied. By regulation, the principals of the evening classes are the principals of the schools. However it is permitted that the principal may appoint another qualified person, R. V. Whitsley has been ap- pointed at Central Huron Secondary School: E. C. Beard at E. E. Madill Secondary School; and William Wark at Goderich District Collegiate Institute.

But when the vote was taken, board members voted unani- mously in favor of offering to that board transportation ona pro rata basis. "Let us make it clear that if it should happen that our buses are filled, there would be no backing out of such an agreement," stated board chairman Bob Elliott who had turned the chair over to vice-chairman John Broadfoot for the August an d September meetings. "I un- derstand from their statements (the Christian School Board) that we are being niggardly. I don't think we are. It could be costing us more by spring," When the Christian School Board's secretary Cecil Bruin- sma attended the board meeting in August, he explained there would be no more than three additional students from that school system on any one Huron Board bus. He said that in all cases, there are empty seats on Huron Board buses which could be utilized by Christian School students. Roy B. Dunlop, superintendent of business affairs for the Huron Board, said, "We may have empty seats, but we may not be paying for them." Dunlop added that the board would have to see "how the enrolments stand at the end of September. "We must have figures by bus, by route," said Dunlop, Broadfoot reminded the board that the bus accommodation picture could change from month to month. "Then what are you going to do'?" asked Broadfoot. "We have no free seats on our buses," said John Taylor, "These people decided on their own not to take advantage of the public school system. If they want to ride on our buses, I think they should pay for it." cent and a maximum of 15 per. cent; and chief custodians and chief engineers $6,850 to. $8,570, in decision for buses Section 37 (1) of the Schools Administration Act reads; "A board may provide tran- sportation for its resident pupils to and from a school that the board operates or for its pupils for whom it pays fees in a school operated by another board," Dr. Alex Addison felt the Ontario Department of Education should provide some guidance on this matter, "They want to stay right away from it," said Elliott. "We can be the dogs," Elliott added that this question of Christian Schools or any other parochial school is "difficult" and can "cause war," "It shouldn't be allowed to go that far," added Elliott, Charles Rau of Zurich area, who is the Separate School representative was asked for his opinion. "I think I'll just stay clear," said Rau, John Broadfoot took time during the meeting to refute some statements made in a letter to the county editors from Cecil Bruinsma. Broadfoot said that although Bruinsa said "the operation of our school is saving the County Board around $100,000 annually," it was actually costing the Huron taxpayers money. The vice- chairman claimed that if the Christian School students were incorporated into the public school system, the provincial grants would be increased and figured on a "different ratio," effecting more economical education for the county public school supporters. Bruinsma further charged "discrimination" against the Christian School Board, Broadfoot reminded the board that some of the children from families where their youngsters attend the Christian School Board School in Clinton attend public school kin- dergartens and opportunity classes. "Is this discrimination?" asked Broadfoot. Broadfoot further said that if decisions hinge on "customs and traditions" as suggested by Bruinsma, it could also be at- tributed to the Christian School Board who chose to opt out Ask for Sesame Street Times-Advocate, September 21, 1972 Page 3 Settle salary negotiations The FOX ended up in Regina last week as he prepared for his final trip across Canada.
