passes Be more responsive- Campbell After more than an hour and a half of discussion and constructive dialogue members of Helton Renaissance Committee and trustees of the Ha I ton Board of Education vowed Thursday theyd work together for the betterment of education In Halton The meeting followed a series of public meetings and a regular flow of press re leases from Renaissance Chairman Ken Campbell During the meeting Thursday Campbell retrained from calling educators tyrants and avoided personal and malicious attacks that had earlier become the hallmark of the Renaissance com mittee For the better part his comments and those of colleagues who Joined him at the board table were con structive The anticipated confrontation faded when both parties adopted a con structive attitude The mood was a congenial one Director leaves Director Jim Singleton who had suffered blunt personal attacks during the early stages of the Renaissance Committee campaign left the room after the meeting started and did not return until both the Renaissance delegation and a delegation concerning the School closing had been dealt with Board Chairman Bill set the tone for the meeting when he welcomed Campbell and suggested there was much we can learn from one another said he had read the committees brier and found there was much he couldnt agree with and In dicated that Campbell might better understand some of the problems and obstacles in education once he understood the Intricacies of the system In a prepared statement Campbell recalled why and how hed become Infuriated with some practices carried on within the schools and how he sought to find ways to effect changes in the system Unresponsive The major theme In Camp bells statement dealt with the unresponsiveness of the board to the parents who en trust their children to it and the ratepayers who pay for it He noted the committee had worked on a budget of most of which was donated in small amounts from interested persons He noted his committee had accepted an Invitation to meet with Tom Wells Minister of Education on Sept Trustees had many com ments and questions follow ing Campbells comments Trustee Doug Wood said hat when the county board was formed the board looked forward to encouraging pub lic participation tic said strides had made and he had found It heartening He noted however that efforts made to get an audience to listen To pro posals met with apathy Only small groups registering pri vate concerns rather than a cross section of public opinion were found to be available Feel helpless Campbell said the cause of apathy is what his group wanted to look at He claimed the public experienced a sense of helplessness when pitted against the large county system He claimed there was a popular feeling that educators had developed policy before going to the public meetings and the meetings were merely window dressing Wood claimed that statement was not necessarily a factual one Campbell claimed even trustees were in a position of selling what Queens Park had Insisted on He claimed too often trustees followed directives from above In stead of their own conscience agreed noting trustees were obligated to carry out laws set by Queens Park We have two choices Do it or quit We try to change what we dont Itkemit ha vela do it within the law Education Is still a provincial responsibility boards attitude concerning the controversial book list and its decision not to censor books He claimed his com mittees household survey was more symbolic of public opinion than Superintendent of Program John straw poll Several trustees noted the designation straw poll was unfair and noted that they had not accepted ad vice alone but had talked to people whom they represent and cast votes on that basis Campbell complained that no parent is consulted con cerning booklists and teach- ins materials He said It is only by chance that parents know what Is going on if they know at all He claimed parents were kept In the dark as much as possible while educators tried to liberate children from the parents hangups Vicechairman Judy Alexander said she had found no problem In rinding an audience for a specific pro blem dealing with a specific school but with the broader problems it was difficult to attract the public Campbell said the public was skeptical about the sincerity of such invitations the door was more than open He said the committees brief made no mention of the boards published policies and goals He said the lack of that kind of homework caused and doubted they could have any input on policy decisions Alexander said she felt the committees recommend ation to have an open door policy In the schools was the first step towards that goal She noted however that she felt that policy exists within the system now Trustee Don Venus said any interested parent would find him to ask questions If you read our policies I think youll find we talk the same language Campbell said he was aware of the documents We like the wrapping but not the Someplace between Ideal and the practice it goes belly up Wed like the gap closed KEN CAMPBELL chairman of the Renaissance Committee presented a brief to members of Halton Board of Education Thur sday The meeting was conducted in a quiet constructive manner Some observers had visions of confrontation between the two
