education trustee hector massey of king in a speech to the board massey praised the educational system in york lauding both director sam chapman and his staff who though often unheralded are nevertheless real heroes the ultimate credit however belongs to the teachers principals psychologists and sup port staff in our schools massey said the teachers were on the front lines performing the active role of educating our children carrying out duties and functions that are bound to elude any contract or ninetofour job descriptions the speaker said i have been im pressed by what i can only term the magnificent work of our teachers massey said they deserve far far more than we often give he said he hoped the adversary attitude governing boardteacher relations since 1974 would finally disap pear massey praised the trustees for their dedication and hard work the board however was uncertain of its role he said behaving at various times like a mini- parliament a standing committee and an in stitutional board of governors he said he wondered whether the many five- andsixhour meetings with their often tedious and interminable debates were partly due to their rules of order we use roberts which is american rather thanbourinot which is canadian he said massey said he felt that no board meeting should last longer than four hours massey also criticized those trustees who know little about education and care even less but used the board as a stepping stone to a town service dear jim just a word to say how much i appreciate the new format for the tribunes calendar of events

there was a lack of creative planning on the board he said there were problems too in the system of promotion morale could be greatly improved if a promotion board made up of senior staff trustees and members of the teachers federation was set up massey singled out for praise trustees craig cribar don cameron norm weller john stevens and bill laird and termed director chapman possibly the foremost educator in canada my two years on the york county board of education have etched many things on my memory he said some of my dreams have been replaced by questions and some of my questions are now
