Trustees seek to press Province to reach a deal continued from p.4 all voluntary services on the first day of school, said Boyd. Burlington trustee Arlene Iantomasi, a director with the Ontario Catholic School Trustees Association, the organization negotiating with the teacher unions, was the lone trustee to vote against the motion calling it redundant. "Because it is ongoing and everyone is committed to finding solutions. The government's responsibility is to maintain fiscal restraint, the teachers want to go to work and all our boards want to get back to business as usual so students can be educated, so a letter urging them to do so is obviously somewhat redundant; that's what we're doing already., she said.

Halton Catholic trustee, Oakville Paul Marai felt if the Halton board didn't try "everything" to move things in the right direction for the good of the children "we wouldn't be doing our jobs." "This letter will further reinforce to all parties the public expectation that a deal be made before school begins," said Marai. "I think it will effectively put pressure on all parties to act in the public interest." If none of the parties are willing to jumpstart negotiations, the board has a responsibility to try and do just that, he added. A STEP BEYOND IN CARE Do you have: Salima Kassam Reg.
