Armstrong Jackson and opposed We re evading the Issue Mr Long said at the end of the parliamentary fencing Let s get the darn thing done The issue is not one to be settled behind closed doors he said schools which foiled to sec the benefits and get on the band wagon Seven high schools In art under the chairman system Acton high school among Ihim nine arc under the headship system and secondary teachers across the region are opposed to the mandatory of the hoard policy to have all schools under the system Mr Long said he is neither for nor against cither system We arc really in very en viable position in that we still have both structures func tioning with competent dedicated staffs firmly believing In the merits of the structure lo which they belong Before dismembering the traditional organization Mr Long said let us continue both systems clearly slate our objectives as to the purpose of the organization and how both strictures will be evaluated and compared in a given time span Although the chairmanship system was implemented experimentally to improve leadership integrate studies and more effectively use educational funds Mr Long said after six years the board know which system has given better quality of education or if unallocated funds used for the different staff structure have improved quality of education Mr Long said he could find no difference between Lord Elgin school and Georgetown and district high school in the quality of education or the cost He has visited both schools Mr Long criticized the board execution of the management by objectives concept borrowed from In where all objectives can be measured and evaluated as lo performance If the board docs not have an objective measure for the quality of education its most important task Is to devise one Without clearly defining the objective and a method of evaluation we arc clearly a most inept body and must be faulted for using only half the system called management by He said the board had measured only whatever is easily measured such as student and parent reaction and self evaluation and disregarded thai which is difficult student quality of education Next I suppose well say that because quality of education can be measured easily it not very important and then take the next fatal step and say it docsn I exist And To ignore the feelings and misgivings that a large portion of our teaching stiff has expressed regarding the mandatory nature of the chairmanship is folly and Is certainly counter to progressive management which we strive to emulate he said The board should encourage diversity in its schools Mr Long said We are on very Ihln ice when we insist on uniformity in every school Let us now encourage and promote both the head and chairman structures so that the advantages of each can be encouraged and developed for the benefit of the students the schools and community by supporting this motion he concluded We must not dismember either organizational structure without more factual data than presently exists The board will have another Thursday to decide if it wonts to discuss trustee Long s recommendations Propose expansion of town offices Jan 1
