RCSS Board discusses Bill 100
(by Wilma Oke)
Bill 100, the Act presently
before the provincial parliament
known as The Teachers Collect-
ive Negotiations Act, 1975,
was the subject of a long discus-
sion at the board meeting of the
Huron Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board
Monday night in Seaforth.
Concerned about two points in
the Bill, which is expected to
be given third reading and active
by the end of June, the Board
members agreed to send letters
to the Minister of Education
and the Ontario Separate School
Trustees Association expressing
this concern on section 9 of Part
Two in the negotiations section
which calls for "negotiations
shall be carried out in respect
of any term or condition of
employment put forward by
either party." (The Ontario
Separate School Trustees° Assoc-
iation in a bulletin to all Separ-
ate School Boards asks "Any
term --does this -mean that the
WESTERN GRADUATE
Mary Ellen Gingerich, daught-
er of Mr. and Mrs, Neil Ging-
erich, Zurich, graduated in the
Spring Convocation from the
University of Western Ontario
with a Bachelor of Science deg-
ree in Honours Biology. She is
presently employed with The
Ministry of Natural Resources,
Terrace Bay, Ontario,
right of a separate school board
to appoint and remove teachers,
as it seems expedient, especially
in view of its denominational
purposes, is subject to negotiat-
ion and limitation?)
The other concern to be exp-
ressed was of section 72 of Part
Nine that decisions and rulings
of the commission, fact finders,
arbitrators, boards of arbitration, '
selectors or the Ontario Labour
Relations Board may not be
questioned nor reviewed in any
court. (The Ontario Separate
School Trustees' Association in
the bulletin asks "With every
kind of judicial review excluded,
is it intended to eliminate in
this way any appeal by a separ-
ate school board agains infringe-
ments on constitutional rights?"
Board chairman, David Tea -
hen, of Stratford, trustee, How-
ard Shantz, Stratford, personnel
committee chairman and Joseph
Tokar, Stratford, Superintend-
ent of Education, will attend a
meeting in Toronto June 14 where
Bill 100 will be the topic of
discussion.
In other business at the meeting
which lasted until midnight the
board agreed to transfer the bus
contract from J.B. Krauskopf,
Dublin, to Keith McCarthy,
Dublin, in order that the latter
may obtain permission from
the Ministry of Transportation
and Communications for transfer
of P , C, V , licence to operate
the school buses within the St,
Patrick's School bus area at
Dublin.
School principal Clem Steffler
of Kingsbridge who attended the
board session along with Sister
Viola Feeney of Our Lady of
Mount Carmel School, Dashwood,
and Mrs. Esther Rau of Precious
Blood School, Exeter, thanked
the trustees, particularly the
four members of the salary neg-
otiating team, for the way the
negotiations were conducted this
year.
Mr. Steffler, who was chair-
man of the teachers' negotiating
team and past chairman of the
Huron -Perth Unit of the Ontario
English Catholic Teachers Ass-
ociation, said the settlement
(30,1 per cent increase) was fair
and just and "our faith in our
trustees was returned and recon-
firmed."
Mr. Steffler said, "We, the
teachers and trustees, are partn-
ers in education. We are work-
ing together towards one good,
that is to develop in the pupils
that are entrusted to our care,
an understanding and appreciat-
ion of the Christian ideals held
dean by our church and country.
And I know that in the way we
conducted ouselves this year
(in settling salary negotiations)
we contributed greatly towards
realizing this goal.
The Board will inform Norman
Kehl of Stratford, who had re-
quested that he and five of his
neighbours be permitted to buy
ten additional feet each at the
back of their property from the
Huron -Perth Board, that the
Board does not wish to sell any
of the three and one half acres
