Seneca was one of the few places that seemed to be putting the health and happiness of the children ahead of monetary considerations. I am a working mother and sent my eldest child to the King Campus Day (‘are (‘entre for three years. At that time it was difficult to find day care that had such an excellent setting. program l cannOt understand how they can set aside such an important priority at this time I hope that other people will join me in urging Seneca to reconsnder its position and to try and approach their financial problems with more h u m a n i t y a n d As a solution, closmg the Day Care Centre. is a very short-sighted move which will create many long-term problems.

Teachers are quite willing to submit the outstanding issues to an impartial independent arbitrator in order to maintain school operations.

We have decided on the latter, although opting for the most moderate sanctions at our disposal As a teacher within that system. as well as a parent and local tax- payer‘ it disturbs me to see the ill-advised comments of trustee Bill Monroe that were reported in your front page story of June 13. in which he seems to question the integrity of teachers. of the teachers' federation. and of potential third party independent arbitrators. Such comments are not at all helpful at this time. ’The board is unwilling to do so‘ It would appear that the citizens of York Region are to be confronted with a potentially serious disruption in their secondary educational system. $21.9 $22.9 499 Trustee ’3 comments not helpful - teacher Basically. teachers do not want to disrupt the educational process and. at this time. have no intention of striking with a complete withdrawal of services.
