Sherry Haltyard photo Trustee-teacher joint committee works toward understanding TERRACE — A recently-formed joint committee of trustees and teachers reported progress in several areas at the April 8 meeting of — the School District 88 board. | Brian Kove , Terrace District Teachers’ Association (TDTA) representative on the joint committee, told the board, ‘‘Before this committee was establish- ed, the situation was like a steam kettle ready to explode, This is a start- ing point toward alleviating that.’ Trustee Danny Sheridan, joint commit- tee member for the board, said, ‘'We weren’t able to meet as often as I would have lik- ed, but when we did meet it was very fruitful. We didn’t agree on everything, but I sensed an unusual and mutual respect.’’ Sheridan later added, ‘‘These were not Pollyanna types of meetings, and this is not a whitewash commit- tee.”’ Koven notified the board of a joint commit- tee proposal to hold an open house festival in the ‘ schools at some point in the future. He stated that a promotional event of this sort is needed in order to provide the public with current in- formation and convey an accurate impression of the present state of af- fairs in the schools. With regard to the public perception of the education system, Sheridan announced that the joint committee has set out to correct three prevalent misconcep- tions: ‘‘One, that educa- tion was better 30 years ago because students use calculators and com- puters now; two, that teachers are underwork- ed and overpaid; and three, that the trustees are the bad guys in this situation.’’ The April 8 agenda also included a proposal to withdraw from the B.C, School Trustees Association. The pro- posal was originally put forward as a notice of motion at the. board’s February meeting, and it was tabled last month pending a meeting with BCSTA executives, At the suggestion of trustee Danny Sheridan, the mo- tion was tabled again un- til after the BCSTA an- nual general meeting on April 17 in Vancouver. The board was also in- formed that the Van- couver Foundation will provide $1,500 in mat- ching grants to district 88 for arts in education. The grants will equal the amount of funds raised locally on a dollar-for- dollar basis up to the maximum. The Education and Personnel reported that a half-time home/school coor- dinator will be hired to assist Native children in the Terrace-Thornhill school system in the 1986-87 school year. Committee’ Trustee Ray Jones in- dicated that the position may become full-time if financial assistance is ap- proved by the Kit- sumkalum: Band. , At the suggestion of the Facilities and Ser- vices Committee, the board voted in favor of drawing up a contract between the school district and the Regional District of Kitimat- ‘Stikine regarding the Ex- po Legacy Fund project application to expand recreational facilities in Thornhill. If the funding application is approved, the development would take place on lands own- ed by the school district and the regional district. The meeting conclud- ed with a decision to hold a special meeting of the board on April 28 to act on a tax rate bylaw. The bylaw will determine how much of the district’s funding will be LM AOA AO ELE A A a, ACKLANDS LIMITED is seeking to fill the position of Sales Representative for the Terrace area.
