Frederick Edwards New director of education Wally Beevor has ideas for Halton by Anne earn Can a progressively run education system which worked for a small northern Ontario school board work Just as well in recently appointed director of education for Region hopes so When Mr Beevor left Board of Education where he had been education director for nearly six years the school system there was showing a marked success in staff relations vanda lism prevention programs consultant policies and priority budgeting amoung other things It was a much smaller system less than students and a total of schools Mr explained Here there are close to 50 students and S3 schools to look after But I think those pro grams could work If the new director of education has his way there will be a number of changes in education system In the next few years At Mr and his staff introduced form of priority which he feels made the school board more efficient By determining a number of priority programs and their funding re- education director Beevor I feel the community got bet ter service for the money they were put ting into the education system he described It also allowed the school board trustees to have a better idea how much they could expect to get Tor their money thus making budget decisions easier I d like to see a system of priority budgeting established here he added was also the board In Ontario to develop deferred leave and early retirement programs for its teaching staff a system which not only benefitted teachers but also helped take the pressure off school boards faced with the prospect of firing teachers due to declining enrol merit Mr Beevor also found a way to utilize talent among teachers by using them as consultants on special projects Not only did it give them a chance to work on a project in which they had a special interest he said but it also deferred the laying off of staff due to fewer students coming into the school system There is little opportunity for people to move upward in a declining enrolment situation Mr explained Lakehead also introduced a more hum method of collective bargaining with its staff a system which has been success ful in concluding three collective agree ments In the past five years We worked on a problem solving rather than an ad versarial system explained Prior to the new system being developed had suffered through a long teachers strike has attempted to start a sortof similar system he said But there are two things which motivate people to change either things get so bad that something has to be done or people are ex posed to a better system through train ing Motivation la the key to Improving the system Mr believes I think the greatest motivating factor Is showing people that you care the la cold monolithic end insensitive that the kind of staff they have working for them Mr believes in giving everyone Involved in education teachers employers and community members a say in the direction of the Most successful was the vandalism pre vention program by which each school was given a certain amount of money to cover the coats of vandalism What they were able to save through the year by reducing vandalism could be used for other student activities such as dances special trips etc We put a few parameters on how the money could be used for instance It couldn t be used for a new carpet for the principal office Mr Beevor said with a grin One school bought T shirts for all the students And It certainly worked In cutting down vandalism Frederick Edwards died Dec 16 1981 at Ml ton District

the other major regional police forces I consider tbste figure to a by to Force especially when read in conjunction with the fact that the policepop ulation ratio of the Halton Regional Police Force is considerably lower than all other police forces re presented in the data provided baa police staff serving residents overall success rate of per cent was below the prov average of a per cent In solving violent crimes however the Halton excelled B41 per cent of all murders attempted murders assaults and sexual offence as op posed to per cent or Ontario In the attempted murder category the
