wide range of the boards operations Other recommendations Include a study of com municatJons between the school and home cooperation by toe board the Renaissance committee In developing ap prenticeship training and improving communications from the board to the students and parents concerning course materials However the committee did not support a recom from the Renaissance group to reconsider the stand taken on closing the school because they felt the board had dealt with the matter Also In regard to sex education the Renaissance Com mlttee asked that parents be continually informed concerning course material and the names of Instructors and their moral and educational credentials Miss Robinson noted In her report that the board operates within the Ontario Human Rights Code in regard to its employees and the committee could not support the recommenatlon regarding moral credentials The Committee also did agree that a recommendation to films and related materials used

Mayor Harrington what are you doing on the regional council talking like a Burlington councillor he asked We had this straightened out on Friday and you Just wont accept it On the Friday regional councillors met with the Hon John White Ontarios Treasurer When asked about the problem of water and sewer control Mr White said It should remain on the regional level to control and becomes economical at the region However Mayor Harrington told the committee members yesterday that If Mr Whites statements do not matter if Its cheaper at the local level then water and sewers should be returned agreed that a cost study Is needed to com pare the expenses from the region with the four areas last year First he suggested an outside firm do the study but later changed it to the regional treasurer Don Farmer However regional director of public works Bob Bailie was not in favor of any regional staff member doing the study because he said some would not believe It As far as I can see this temoon any report done by a member of the regional staff will not be supported if It goes against the thinking of the people In favor of returning the water and sewer rights he Mr Bailie added that last Wednesday the public works department showed on charts that they are operating with fewer men than the area had before regional government and no one believed them The committee members supported a motion to have the regional administrator Ernie Reed meet with coordinator from the area municipalities and the chairmen of the Oak vlllo and Burlington s to discuss water and sewer
