School
trustee
candidate
missed

Dear Editor:

Regrettably, your editorial column
of Sunday, Nov. 9 made one unfor-
tunate oversight: I, David Janis, was
not mentioned as a candidate.

My platform includes setting a
higher standard of performance for
the board and opening its decision-
making process to encourage better
public, parent and teacher input.

The electors of North Vancouver
District should consider my creden-
tials as well in the search for that
“uncut diamond’’ among the can-
didates for school board.

David Janis

Candidate for

School Trustee

Dear Editor:

It is too bad that more West
Vaicouver-Howe Sound voters do
not aitend the various all-candidates
meetings sponsored by parents
associations, ratepayer assccialions
and the Chamber of Commerce to
reveal the views, attitudes and merits
of the candidates for the five school
trustee positions on the board which
administers over $20 million in
taxpayer-supplied funds each vear.

At the West Vancouver Schou!
Board all-candidates meeting held
Nov. 4 at Hollyburn School, the four

Tay

incumbents seeking re-election, plus
the three challenger candidates, were
asked to reply to the following
question:

‘“What can be done to protect our
school district from (financial)
‘disaster’ if found liable for damages
awarded in court to parents or
students due to mistreatment of stu-
dent(s}) by a teacher; or in the event
of a severe epidemic incapacitating
many permanent teachers: etc."

The experienced four incumbents
Margot Furk, Barbara Howard,
Michael Smith and Hugh Stark plus

challeneer George Suart all gave
reasoned, serious answers suggesting
long-range budget planning, liabili-
ty insurance.

Challenger Paul Singh Hundal (a
29-year-old non-practicing lawyer
who moved to West Vancouver 18
months ago) opined only that for-
tunately, damage awards in Cana-
dian courts have been much lower
than those awarded in U.S. courts.

The last candidate to answer was

Elizabeth Jean Ferguson (a former
Vancouver school teacher), who said
in effect ‘disaster’ is a relative
term. To me, 2 disaster is having five
more students added to an already-
full class in mid-term.””
