Clark presented the interim report of the Bylaw Review Ad Hoc Committee.At the 2012 May 8 Board Meeting,the Bylaw Review Ad Hoc Committee was established to ensure that the Bylaws are consistent with the new Trustee Code of Conduct.At the 2012 May 22 Board meeting,Trustees Bennett,Clark,Grant and McKinnon were appointed to the Committee with a final report date of 2012 October 23. The Committee met on October 1 to review the Code of Conduct template prepared by the Ontario Public School Boards'Association in relation to the current Codes of Ethics and Conduct in the Board Bylaws.At that time,it was agreed to recommend including the concepts from the Code of Ethics in the revised Code of Conduct and deleting this section from the Bylaws. The Ministry of Education provided anticipated wording for the Code of Conduct and OPSBA suggested additional provisions for consideration.In considering the wording for Part 2 - Enforcement of Code of Conduct, it was noted that bolded sections are provisions required under the Education Act However,questions arose regarding the appropriateness of having both an informal and formal complaint procedure as suggested by OPSBA. In view of the possibility of further changes to the Code of Conduct regulations,itis felt that completion of the revisions to the Bylaws as they pertain to the Code of Conduct should be deferred pending passage of the Regulations.At that time, it will be determined ifa legal opinion should be sought on establishing an informal complaint process.It is,therefore,recommended that no further action be taken by the Bylaw Review Committee at this time and that it be reinstated for further consideration of Section 2 once the Regulation is passed following which the draft,amended Code of Conduct will be presented to the Board. It Is anticipated that the final report will be ready for submission to the Board by 2013 October 31. RECOMMENDATION: That the Bylaw Review Ad Hoc Committee be reinstated once the Code of Conduct Regulations have been passed with a final report to the Board by October 31,2013. The recommendation was approved on motion of D. Clark,seconded by T.Grant. 2012 October 9...5 15.REPORT OF COMMITTEES -cont'd b.REPORT OF THE SPECIAL EDUCATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE 2012 October 2 12:25 p.m.to 2:38 p.m. MEMBERS Thames Valley Children's Centre,J.Gritzan (Chair) Trustee T.Grant (VIce-ChaIr) Association for Bright Children,C.Thammavongsa Autism Ontario,J.Wright (-1:00) Chippewas of the Thames,C.Dendias Community Living London, S.
