North Vancouver and Co-
By BILL BELL quitilam, we were shut out tn

Those were the words ban-
died about by West Vancou-
ver school trustees Monday
night to describe its decision
to cancel all teacher profes-
sional days between January
and June 1984

The trustees would make
the professional days into
instructional days in hopes of
regaining the three days the
district) lost to teacher
political yob action.

Trustee Michael! Smith was
furious with the teachers’ ac
tion dunng the withdrawal of
services and tn particular
with the West Vancouver
Teacher Association
(WVTA) executive

“We tried to meet with the
WVTA crecutive and we
were told that nothing could
be done on the local level |
don't know if we want to get
too close tot he WV TA of we
will get poked in the cye with
a picket,’ Smith said

“While other districts were
meeting them teachers in

West Vancouver _.. political
protest is not acceptable here
in West Vancouver, the
teachers must realize that we
are a community that will
always come down on the
side of law and order

Although all of the trustees
agreed that something should
be done to regain the instruc-
uonal days, trustee Frank
McDowell and Dawn Sikula
both felt that cancelling the
professional days was
“premature

“*The Ministry of Education
and The BC Teachers’
Federation and the BC
School Trustees Association
are Meeting to discuss this
issue, we should warn for
some directives,” McDowell
said

However. trustee Margot
burk told the board that at
should be prepared to go
our own way 7"

“We must act in the best
interest of the Children, notin
the best interest of the staff.”
