| Abstract | In light of issues surrounding control of local school boards in Ontario, Canada, this opinion survey of 197 board trustees was conducted to determine support for full-time trustee representation. Questionnaires--sent by stratified random sampling--solicited demographic, geographic, and personal information and sought trustees' opinions on whether they should serve their communities full-time. The researchers hypothesized that most trustees, who are elected, disfavor a full-time role and that those in support represent a vocal minority. Trustees in this minority have complained that control has been wrested from communities and that trustees lack time and adequate remuneration. Of 197 respondents, 86 percent disagree with the concept of full-time trusteeship. Over one-half in support are female and are not employed full-time. Those desiring full-time representation cite time problems and complex bureaucracy. Primary support for full-time representation came from trustees of large urban school boards. Small or rural school boards do not offer support. Ninety-five percent who disagree emphasize that quality community representatives can be recruited, and 85 percent who disagree are employed full-time. Results confirm the hypothesis that a majority of Ontario trustees do not perceive that their role is to serve as full-time community representatives. (CJH) |
