Insurance costs.up 34%
1. (
The Huron-Perth Roman
Catholic Separate School board
approved payment of insurance
premiums for 1975 which will cost
34.6 per cent more than last year,
at their meeting Monday night in
Seaforth.
The Board learned from
Finance and Insurance Com-
mittee chairman Ron Marcy of
Stratford that increases in Work-
men's Compensation (up 68 per
cent from last year) and property
insurance premiums (up 38.9 per
cent) account for most of the
increase.
The board's total annual
insurance premium is $16,591.68
up more than $4,000 from 1974.
The coverage, for vehicle,
property, liability, accident and
workmen's compensation
insurance was renewed through
Leeson-Killer Insurance Ltd.,
Stratford.
Dublin trustee Francis Hicknell
commented that he had thought
the total insurance costs might
have dropped, since the boaid
last year had insurance on an old
house in Stratford which has since
been torn down. "The price of
lumber is down from last year
too", he said.
HPRCSS Business Adminis-
trator, Jack Lane said that the
property insurance provides for
full replacement value of most of
the buildings, no matter what the
cost. The building would not
necessarily have to be replaced in
its same location, he said.
Mr. Lane pointed out that the
board again has $2 million in
school liability insurance and said
that this coverage was wide,
considering that a board in BC
which had nly $1 million in
liability insurance was sued
successfully recently for $1.5
million, the highest award ever in
Canada.
The board, also on the recom-
mendation of its insurance and
finance committee, agreed to pay
a premium of $93.94 for addi-
tional insurance to cover paying
auditors' fees should a. bond loss
occur. The motion passed 8-3 with
one abstention.
The Catholic Parent Teacher
Association at Mount Carmel.
School were given permission to
install and maintain playground
equipment in the school yard, at
no cost to the board. The
equipment, shown to trustees in
detailed sketches which
accompanied the CPTA's
request, will include a balance log
and beam, two chin bars, a
stepping post, a log ladder, a
cement pipe and a tire swing.
The board's bylaw committee
will report at the next meeting on
a number of revised policies and
on how the board will meet the
Department of Education's new
requirements for open school
board meetings.
Howard Shantz of the board's
negotiating committee said that
teacher negotiations have started
with the next meeting set for
March 5. Mr. Shantz, who
attended the recent Ontario
School Trustees conference in
Toronto said he felt that the
majority of the trustees who
attended supported the OSTC's
stand on salary negotiations to
the extent of holding up negotia-
tions if OSTC were to agree to do
so.
He said he did not quite agree
with Huron Board of Education
negotiating Chairman, Cayley
Hill's assessment of the
conference. Mr. Hill and fellow
trustee Herb Turkheim said at the
Huron Board Meeting last week
that they disliked the attitude of
the OSTC.
Mr. Shantz said that policy
questions would be coming to the
local board from OSTC before any
resolutions were formulated.
The board will wait until the
next meeting to consider a bill
from the Town of Goderich for
storm sewer charges there of
$1,349.34, pending the results of
an appeal by a property owner in
the area.
Brick between the new addition
and the old school at St. Patrick's,
