Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 89 of 1941. A BILL TO AMEND THE SCHOOL ACT, 1931. NOTE. This Bill amends The School Act, 1931. The amendments made by paragraphs (

a) and (

b) of

section 2 give a district in a summer village the status of a rural district so that it may be included in a division by the order setting up the division. Paragraph (

c) adds

definitions of "patriotic exercise" and "flag" and the refer ence to the Union Jack is omitted in subsequent sections. The amendments to sections 55b and 65 clear up doubt as to whether certain sections apply to school divisions. The amendments to

section 111 provides for shorter notice than is now provided for calling board meetings in towns and cities. The amendment to paragraph (

p) of se,ction 119, made by

section 6 of the Bill, authorizes the Board to appoint and engage teachers, formal written contracts being dis pensed with by later provisions except in the case of a teacher in a one-room school or a temporary teacher. The amendment to paragraph (

v) of the same

section adds "wilful disobedience" to the grounds for suspension or expulsion of a pupil. The amendment to

section 120 gives school boards power to require patriotic exercises to be conducted.

Section 135, as amended by the Bill, authorizes a division to acquire a site for a school or teacherage outside the division. The new

section 146a provides a method of saluting the flag which may be used. The amendments to

section 155 are occasioned mainly by the abolition of formal written contracts in many cases as provided by amendments to

section 156. The amendments to

section 190 limit the powers of a board of reference to disputes arising from termination of teachers' engagements. The amendment to

section 163 makes clear that a teacher is not entitled to sick pay, when her absence is due to confinement.

Section 165, as amended, empowers a teacher to conduct patriotic exercises when directed by the Board.

Section 171 has been redrawn and made applicable to school divisions. Same applies to

section 172. As to the amendments to

section 174, (

a) confines the provisions of subsection (2) to the classes of schools men tioned; (

b) extends the provisions of subsection (3) to school divisions; and (

c) dispenses with notice where no submission to electors is required. The new

section 209a makes a pupil guilty of an offence if he refuses to take

part in a patriotic exercise. The change in

section 231 is made necessary by the abolition of delegates' meetings. Sections 232 to 237 are repealed and the substituted subse,ctions provide a new procedure for nomination and election for divisional trustees.

Section 241 has been redrawn to provide the procedure for holding an election in a division if a trustee has been unseated by a Judge and

section 247a is amended to avoid conflict with

section 241. The new paragraph (

k) added to

section 250 gives a divisional board power to require patriotic exercises in the schools of the division. The remaining sections of the Bill are self explanatory. W. S. GRAY, Acting Legislative Counsel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but is offered in explanation of its provisions.)
