done if f and form Its own the board can school board The final chapter in a dis between high school teachers and trustees was written Thursday with few shots being fired as the appointment of heads direc tors and associate heads for all high schools was ap proved Several years ago the board hatched a plan to reorganize the administration of high schools Each subject area had a teacher running the department and frequently the head an assistant In some schools there were over leaders The board moved to reorganize the schools with a maximum of leaders At first it was a voluntary switch from headships to chad man ships but a couple of years with less than half of the schools switches trustees decided to make the switch mandatory for the fall of 1977 Branch of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and provincial officials balked at chairmanships being made mandatory objecting to several aspects of the board plan They were willing to see schools wanting chairman ships adopt the system but rildn want it forced on schools without much more The fight was on throughout and 1977 with teachers tarring members from ap plying for chairman s jobs and the board filing a for breach of contract The board eventually won the grievance long after a compromise was hammered tut Chairmanships proved to too a major contract talk stumbling block and in May the two sides agreed to pet up a special committee to work out a compromise which trustees some gladly and others grudgingly approved in June The compromise organization takes effect this Fall The number of people drawing extra pay for responsibilities would be reduced but not as low as the board hoped Chairmanships would disappear as would the old headship system in the fall of 1978 being replaced with a revamped headship system Thursday the lion reported on how schools will be organized this fall not the positions of responsl have been reduced from to 201 and responsibility allowance costs have been trimmed from to A report from Superin John Boich noted five Schools haven named the maximum number of leaders are allowed but can in the future so the responslbi allowance cost saving could drop from over to just over 300 He noted new system wasn t brought in to save money but was designed to improve school leadership by giving principals a smaller cabinet to work with Appointments were to be by subject groupings For example instead of a head of and of geography there would now be a head of social sciences It t worked out quite i that way in a number of schools and some trustees objected Thursday Trustee Bill said the spirit of the compromise agreement of last June been followed citing subject groupings that haven been followed A bid by Trustee Jim Clelland to table the appoint merits of because principals and the ad ministration had too loosely interpreted the board policy was rejected Both Boich and Director of Education Em Lavender said they thought the new school organization was being followed properly Acton Esquesing Trustee Bert said teachers had taken a materialistic view towards school tion and reaped financial benefits for as many as they could He noted in one school the person heading up science and math is a science expert when there ore more math students He said this was wrong Trustees approved the administration head late head and director ap pointments There will be changes made at Acton High School even though it was one of the first to abandon the old headship system for chairmanships There are seven people hold positions of responsibility now but next fall there will
