he has been appointed which of themselves con a full time responsibility Suggestions that students be dispersed imong other classes when their regular teacher is ibsent was also strongly criticized by the principals who signed the letter We ire only concerned that there be no restrictions on the engagement of teachers for teachers who are absent for reasons of illness or other causes as provided in our sick leave policy We arc satisfied that our teachers are not abusing this policy and that absences claimed under it are Indeed legitimate and unavoidable and controllable We arc quite prepared to forego calling in substitute teachers for all other absences of staff over which we can exercise control it from the province he said The five year forecast still contains a remaining and could be
