Report
The Huron County Board of
Education voted to disc*Ontinue
school, safety patrols at public
schools in Goderich and Exeter at
Monday night's meeting.
"Legislation defines the limits
of a board's jurisdiction over
pupils as only while on schol
property or while travelling on a
school busy" D.J.Cochrane,
director of education, informed
trustees.
The board is in a position where
it might be sued if an accident
occurred at a board sanctioned
crosswalk, he said.
Student safety patrols will not
be operating this September,
while board-paid adult guards
will remain at the cross walks
until. December 31.
The cost of crossing guards at
Highway 4, near Exeter public
school, is shared by the board and
Exeter council. There is also a
board employed guard on
Highway 21 at Vict .oria Public
School in Gpderich.
In Goderich, grade 6 pupils
were members of a school safety
patrol. "It is my opinion that
responsibility for helping children
to cross the street is that of an
adult guard. Grade 6 students are
not of an age to accept the
responsibility", ' said Mr
Cochrane.
In Clinton and Wingham,
crossing guards are employed by
the town council. Local police
oversee school safety in Seaforth.
Trustee Jack Alexander of
Wingham said the board "should
be paying in all municipalities or
none. We have paid our guard in
Wingham for several years and if
I'd known that the board paid for
guards elsewhere, I would have,
brought this up before now."
Chairman Wilfred Shortreed
said the director of education
would need to write "a diplomacy
letter" to Exeter and Goderich
councils asking that the
responsibility for the children's
safety at crossings be the town's.
Trustee John Elliot suggested
that the affected councils inform
the board by December if they
will employ crossing guards
"Highway 4 is dangerous, I don't
want to see the children
abandoned" , he said.
"The board'has no cost saving
ulterior motive," said Mr.
Cochrane, but is merely
attempting to conform to ministry
regulations.
'Other business discussed at the
meeting included the feasibility of
an optional swim program for
elementary school pupils at
Vanastra community centre
during the winter months.
During 1974-75 pupils from
Clinton, Hullett and Huron
Centennial public schools
participated in a series of lessons.
Parents paid $2.00 for eight one
hours sessions. Transportation to
and from Vanasrtra was provided
from the schools' budget.
Night schools will be located in
Central Huron Secondary School,
Clinton, F.E.Madill Secondary
School, Wingham, Seaforth
District I-figh School, South
.Htiron District High School in
Exeter and Goderich District
Collegiate Institute. Starting date
for 1975-76' classes will he the
week of October 6. A list of
courses in HuronCounty will be
published.
The board approved one-year
contracts giving custodians at 13
public schools and the board's
administrative office here pay
increases averaging 14.7 per_
cent.
Salaries will range from $8,000
to $11,000 depending on school
size and man-hours required.
Some- larger schools have union
workers while smaller ones have
contract workers.
The new contracts will cost i
$157,550 in the 1975-76 school
year, beginning Sept. 1,
compared with $137,350 last
year. days.
