for the next two years. The down-
sizing needed over that period of
time to meet declining financial re-
sources will be accomplished
through regular employee turnover.
There is significant commitment on
the part of both parties to resolve
some of the staffing concerns
which arise as downsizing occurs,"
said Jeanne Dionne, Huron Re-
sources Administrator for the Hu-
ron County Board of Education.
Willi Laurie, President of HWTA,

stability that this collective agree-
ment will provide to our schools
over the next two years. Educators
face unending challenges in these
times of unprecedented change and
turmoil in public education in On-
tario. We are also very pleased that
we share with the Huron County
Board of Education a commitment
and a trust to provide the best pos-
sible educational environment and
opportunity for our students within
the Huron Public Education Sys-
tem".
Chair of the Board, Roxanne
Brown, indicated that she is "very
pleased with the overall achieve-
ments of the parties through these
negotiations. These are very diffi-
cult times and we've found realistic
ways to meet the needs of staff,
students and taxeayers. We're
well-prepared to enter one of the
most challenging times in the histo-
ry of this board."

cation operates 24 elementary
schools and six secondary schools
in Huron County. OPSTF-Huron

ly 345 elementary teachers.
