Huron Board sets stage to lock out teachers •••••••

walked the streets
surrounding the board offices
in Clinton. The teachers
picketed the, administrative
offices to "make a point to the
• board", according to teacher
negotiator Shirley Weary.
Weary said she wasn't
convinced the board was not
trying to "threaten" the
teachers with the lockout. She
said the teachers forming the
picket line were protesting
the board's stand on the 1977
contract but added that the
two, dozen teachers -at the
board meeting were there as
private citizens.
Director of Education John
Cochrane told the board that
before a lotkout can be
considered by the board the
public session must be held.
He said the board must
publicly review the final offer
from the teachers and vote on,
its acceptance. Should the
board reject the offer then it
is free to lockout teachers if it
so chooses.
