Incumbent Ward 1 trustee was critical of way in which board dollars spent Lynne Clark feels she has been "very effective" as a public school trustee over the last two terms and wants to continue to serve her Ward 1 constituents. By KATHY YANCHUS Oakville Beaver Staff The mother of three, who has a long record of community service, has been extremely instrumental in the development of a board policy on discipline. "Safety in the schools is very important," said Clark. "Now there‘s no room for bullying or assaults and weapons...principals have to call police. We‘re working on a new expulsion procedure." Clark said she has also "kept at" administration for eliminating the jarâ€" gon out of its public documents. In fact, in an upcoming pamphlet outlinâ€" ing the major points of the discipline policy, the wording will be "easily understood and jargonâ€"free." Clark, who has missed just one board meeting in six years and has served on an average of 8 to 10 comâ€" mittees per year, has also supported standardized testing in reading and mathematics in Grades 3, 6 and 9 and in releasing individual results to parâ€" ents. "We‘ve been very effective in downsizing our organization to save money," said Clark, a director of the Ontario Public Schools Association. "We have 235 fewer employees than we did at this time last year. We‘ve gone from 16 superintendents to nine..and we‘ve decreased the numâ€" ber of department heads..." What keeps her motivated and enthusiastic about her trustee position is her deep interest in education and in ensuring that her three boys as well as all children "get a good eduâ€" cation." Clark said she did not support the on Monday, Nov. 14 you have a choice Mayor Ann Mulvale 338â€"8556 up to 24 A Slats Price Buster AUTHORIZED BY THE CEO THE ANN MULVALE ELECTION CAMPAIGN vote 48 |48% â€" board‘s 1994 budget because "it took too many dollars away from the classroom." One of the major issues for her Ward 1 constituents is renovations to Gladys Speers Public School, an issue which will surface again in the very near future with mandated JK program slated for the school in September of 1995. Clark feels the longâ€"awaited structural changes to give the school a proper gymnasium should be undertaken simultaneously with "mandated renovations" to accommodate JK. Having children in the schools and frequenting hockey arenas, Clark says she is privy to parental concerns in a natural setting. "I‘m not just hearing things when they become an issue," said Clark, who has been involved with Minor Oakville Hockey MOMS, Oakville Minor Baseball Association, the West Oakville Ratepayers Association, Eastview Public School PTO, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Cancer Society and the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital New Building Fund campaign. Clark pledges to continue to deal "openly and honestly" with the conâ€" cerns of her constituents. 217 Cross Ave., Oakville + 842â€"9561 FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY $ P E C I A L S Prime Rib Dinner mmmmmmmmmm "Sraod â€" BR Roast Leg of Lamb incl _ BC# Join us for breakfast.
