Georgetown school trustee Barry Shep herd but there are hints stronger mcasurs are coming Shepherd withdrew the motion which would lengthen to a maximum of days the suspension period a student could

hts notice of motion Shepherd said he may hasty and that he wished a delay until the time is agreeable the Acton trustee As it stood Shepherd motion at Thurs day Hniton Board of Education meeting at Burlington would triple the length of suspension for students The principal would need approval from the area super for such a step Other Ontario Boards already use a school day sion Shepherd said NeltherShepherd or Fisher would reveal details however Shepherd indicated in reporters his action was prompted by specific Incidents of trafficking The Georgetown trustee said il is the responsibility of the staff to watch such a person and that will take time Time should be spending with the rest of the student body Shepherd said standing board suspension is ten days for such as persistent opposition lo authority and wilful destruction of school property The thing is under the Education Act we have laws which deal wilh this What after along with Barry and Jackie Oakville trustee Jackie Cutmorc is enforce he Education Act lo the letter without fear of reprisal to the schools or staff Trustee Fisher said The problem is it is the of our society to be free When someone abuses thai freedom then generally speaking the lo be free is removed In the school system everyone has the right to education but If that right is abused by undermining school system the detriment of others then that right I education must be removed fir period to see if Ihe really to Ihe rules under the Fducation Act s The difference between Shepherds motion and what was set out to be accom pi shed was not o
