Call 623-3331, ext. 5400 A, trustee with The Northumberland- Clarington Board of Education was sus- pended from the closed por- tions of board meetings because of a history of ignor- ing rules and regulations, says board chairperson Bob Willsher. The suspension came because of "a continuai violation of the decisions of the corporate board and a concern on the part of the board that trustee Marg Connor may create the poten- tial of litigation against the board because of her failure ta comply with her obliga- lions as a trustee." Margaret Connor, a Port Hope area trustee, was sus- pended at the closed session of the April lOth board meet- ing after releasing informa- tion concerning a new comn-, pensation system for the approximate 80 non-union memubers of the board's administration. But Wllsher says'the suspension lias littie ta do with the release of this information. It (the compen- sation information) would have been made public any- way once the budget was completely approved." lnstead, he says the sus- pension cameas a result of "her disregard for the rules and regulations of the board. She has openly said she will not pay attention ta these reg- ulations and that puts the board at-a legal risk." Willsher says she has also failed ta acknowledge lier obligations under conflict of interest legisiation for elect- eti municipal andi school board officiais. "Since her election, the board lias had ta coacli ler witli respect ta this obligation. More recently, this issue lias been a concern for other trustees as they dis- cuss and decide matters of employee negotiations and relations. Trustee Connor lias previously acknowledged a conflict of interest because lier husband is employed as a teaclier witli the board."' "I'm distu-cbed that trustee Connor chooses to portray herself as a cliampion of the taxpayer on one hand and, at tlie same lime, lias ignored this seriaus potential viola- tion of provincial legisiation." At tlie April 1Oth board meeting, trustees approveti the board's 1997 budget whlch will set aside $86.000 for a menit program for the (continued page 2) Clarke Museum book sale Wendy Harris of Bowmanville andi ler chldren Virgin)ia and James browse tlirougli some of the hun- dreds of books on aller at last weekend's. book' sale.
