York Central High School Teachers Are Highly Rated By Department Of Education While the inspector‘s detailed report has not yet been received by the board. Superintendent Chapman revealed that the system‘s teacher rating had moved up to 4.84 this year. Last year the best rating in the province was 480 and Mr. Chapman said that the highest such rating he had ever seen was 4.90. Yoi‘k Central‘s rating has moved up from 4.32 in 1962-3 to 4.61 the next year and 4.71 last year. . “Good teaching is the key to every- thing else.” said Mr. Chapman. “We have concentrated on this and now consider that Phase 1 is complete. In Phase 2, on the basic assumption that we have teach- ers as good as any in the province, we must make a big effort at the top and bottom of the scale. We have not been doing complete justice to the most able Past president cufflinks were presented to Lloyd Beatty by President Graeme Bales at the annual banquet of Richmond Hill Agricul- tural Society held at the Richmond Inn December 3.

It was these many traits of a good citizen distinguished ser- vice. loyalty and devotion to Richmond Hill which influenced the local Lions in their choice of Mr. Lew to receive the first “Citizens Award" granted by their club. at 65. but the board. appreciat- lng that Mr. anler still had much to offer the children in his care. had given him a three year extension. (Photo Stuart and the least able students in our schools,” he continued. “but have perhaps made more progress at the bottom. We now intend to put more heat :â€" perhaps it would be better to say light â€" on these two areas." Board Chairman John Honsherger, noting that the York Central system was now in the top handful in the province respecting the quality of its teachers, commented that both the board and the communities which it serves are obligat- ed to the leadership and inspiration given by Mr. Chapman. “More than anyone else. he is respon- sible for the almost phenomenal pro- gress that this board has made in the past few years," said Mr. Honsberger. and added, that he wanted to say pub- licly what board members all said pri- vately. Mr. Honsberger's statement was met with warm applause and Trustee E. W. Snider added. “The money we spend for Mr. Chapman‘s salary is the best money spent by this board â€" and I was against it at the start.” man ANUARY 3 Studio) Board Hindered By Red Tape (Continued from Page 1) to refuse approvalAto a project His second alternative was that a letter of intent. subject to the approval of the OMB. be sent to the contractor. "This puts the onus on Stephenson to play ball with the board." he said. The letter would indicate to the contractor that the board desired to award the tender and would do so as soon as the OMB approval was received. Chair- man John Honsbsrger felt that Stephenson would accept this. "Hé's on a school board himself‘ He knows how things are." he said. Another reason for quick ac- tion on the plan is that if 95% of the work on the project is completed before March 31. it 'may be financed under the Municipal Works Assistance Program. Under this program. a for- giveness clause provides that the full amount borrowed does not have to be repaid, which would save the board several ,thousand dollars. Mr. Tindal felt this would al- low the contractor to prepare working drawings and reserve materials. He also pointed out. however. that if ’an actual con- tract were not signed. Stephen- son had a right to withdraw his tender. Although he felt there was; no possibility of getting even an appointment with the OMB by: December 22. Trustee Morley‘ Kinnee moved that the letter of intent. subject. to OMB approval; he. sent to the contractor. and this was carried. Mr. Tindal advised that he was going to Markham Township municipal offices the next morning to pick up the request for approval and take it personally to the OMB. Chairman John Honsberger offered to go with him and it was sug- gested that Markham Town- ship Solicitor J. D. Lucas be asked to accompany them. to see if the OMB could be induced to act quickly on the matter. Superintendent Sam Chapman suggested that it might be pos- sible. to get assurance from the 1OMB that it wouldn‘t. take pun- [itive action if the board Went lahead and awarded the con- Itract.
