Kennedy who has been a superintendent over ten years also served in the personnel and special services portfolios as part of his senior adminis- trative duties. He was princi- pal of Cobourg East high school before becoming a superintendent in the 1986-87 school year. Kennedy also worked as a high school teacher, coordina- tor of special services and liaison officer with the Ministry of Education. Director of Education Dick Malowney says he viewed Kennedy as a strong member of the board's adm)inistrative teamn whose absence "will leave a large gap in our administrative structure." "His calm miauner and keen sense of humnour have contributed much to the orga- nization and 1 will miss himn both personally and profes- sionially."e Kennedy plans to spend more timie with his family, travel and pursue personal interests. Stili no smoking on school prroperty Provincial government officials hiave written to the board saying the Tobacco Control *Act will not be amended to allow high school students to smnoke on school property. The letters from the Minister of Education and Minister of Health were a response to an earlier resolu-. tion by trustees in support of a Brant County Board of Education recommnendation. Thle recommendation called for amendments to the Act so that outdoor smoking areas could be reinstated on school property. High school administrative staff feit the change was necessary to ensure proper supervision during school hours. Students promise to boycott contract services Students of Port Hope High School will boycott the school cafeteria if services are contracted out. Speaking on hehaif of the Student Government, Ben Chapman told trustees at last night's board meeting that current cafeteria staff "are part of-our school community. (They) have become mentors and are always there if we need to talk. That was very apparent with the recent tragedies." He said that rumors were strong that "everybody would boy- cott the cafeteria" and opt to "browii-bag it", rather than use a contracted service.' Both Chapman and Rob Hood who spoke for the Port Hope High School Parent Council both expressed con- cern that contract teplace- ments would not be directly accountable to the board and might not have the samne level of commitmient to students. "Five people who have served this board faithfully for many years will have their livelihood taken from t-hemn while their jobs wilI continue to exist" Hood said.; Trustee to be allowed back to elosed meetings Trustees with th e 'Northumherland-C larington Board of Education last night voted to permit Port Hope area trustee Marg Connor back into closed portions of board meetings.
