The Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-12-14, Page 7`Teachers have hard time Speech pathologist is guest giving 150% effort'' •from page 2 learn about those changes and still be 'expected to deliver the quality education that the board demands. Combined with staff cuts due to social contract and expenditure control, Wolfe said teachers are having a hard time giving the "150 per cern effort" they • have contributed in the past, "What is it you don't want done in the future that we're doing now?" he asked trustees in a bluntly -stated presentation to the board. •A coinmittee of teachers, ad- ministration, parent and student representation looked at three op- tions for taking the Rac, days. One option was to take a two week long March break, while another would have used existing PD days as Rac days with no change to the March break. Wolfe rejected the two-week March break, because removing that option means "one Tess hassle for (teachers) who will be accused of. wanting to have a two week holiday to go south." "It isn't the case. We .are losing four days pay," Wolfe said, adding that the doubled March break could be an option next year, as long as the extra days arc made up of both classroom time and professional development time. "1 do not want to lose more,professional development days," Wolfe stated firmly. It would take Ministry. of Education approval io cut the num ber of classroom days to. accom- modate Rac days. Trustee Frank Eagleson supported the two-week March break, saying the large chunk of time would give recreation departments time to put on programs and could even be .a bonus for merchants. The option of using existing PD days as Rae days was rejected, because "staff morale will suffer due to perteived lack of consul- tation", according to a report reviewed by trustees. That option would have been the closest match to a schedule of PD days already established with the neighboring boards, who share busing with the Bruce board on some routes. Those boards do not need. Rae days, a fact that raised questions from new trustee Dennis , Posthumous. ' Asking why those boards don't need the unpaid leave days, Pos- thumous was told they have more teacher and administrative retirements to cover the • social contract target cuts. Teachers for 'the. Bruce board opted to protect salary increases for young teachers, but to do that all teachers have to take Rac days and teaching staff in .the Bruce board will have a few more job losses then would have otherwise been necessary under the soc4 i1 contract. Stobo said laying 'off .ad- ministration was not an option for the Bruce board, "That's all right for smaller boards, but there would be a severe cost 1'or us to do that," he said., LUCKNOW DISTRICT COMMUNITY CENTRE tiunJn, Ihrrnlhrr 1' 1 inn, Rimy„ -'lI IJ I.i 11CAAn I't 1 I1 ii .u,l �1,IILun ,\ 1dnhrn 111 "ui ()PEN DATES Members of the Auxiliary to Wingham and District were given the opportunity at their November meeting to learn more about improving communication, which is the main job of a speech pathologist. Speech pathologist Janc Tolton joined the staff of Wingham and District Hospital. in- May of 1993. Ms. Tolton has a case load consis- ting mostly of preschool children. Referrals are made through a doctor and patients are placed on a waiting list. Parents also sit in on sessions with their child which arc an 'hour long and on a one-to-one basis. The parent can then help their child at home. Some of the problems might involve teaching speech skills, stuttering, swallowing difficulties, the hearing impaired and for adults communication problems through a stroke or accident.
