Approves Raise for themselves last year The trustees ire not accepting the maximum Mr Watson points out They have voted to accept 6 per year and in increase In car allowance to 18 cents a mile which is the amount we pav our employees ears Personal says Mr Watson 1 have served as a trustee for The first years there was no remuneration the next five board per He comments that one of the things really worries him is public apathy to- wirds the role of the trustees In the last two elections was reelected by acclama and to me this indicates that the general public is not interested in ihe tremendous amount of time and effort we as trustees spend in trying to give our children the best possible education that we as a municipality can afford Maybe this increase in salary will make parents more aware that the trustees are committed to try and do an even belter job than they have in the past However to do this we must have more feedback dialogue as to what is going on the class
