Gerry Ferguson, President of the N.W.0.S.C. emphasized the fact that communities who have not been contacted by the Council, should drop a line to P.O. Box 773, Thunder Bay P, P7B 5G3 and indicate their interest to the Council.

For these reasons, the Council aks for the supp- ort, in the form of a contact letter, of those non-contacted communities. The Ontario Federation cf Home and School's Legislative Action and Education Committees today released the results of a survey indica+ ting that parents want the province's Consoli- dated Schoecl Administration Act to assure par- ents a greater role in school placement and curriculum decisions. In a letter addressed *o the Hon. Tom Wells, the Federation noted the following: x * Three quarters of the more than I,700 res- Act to provide: a. that parents may be represented by legal, medical and/or psychological counsel when,de- cisions about their child's right to attend school and school placement are being made. b. complete access to all records of education -al and psychological testing done in the schools on one's own child. c. that school personnel must advise parents of their rights when discussing placement of their child. * 62.5% of the parents want the Act to provide that parents shall have the right to choose the school to which they wish to send their children. * 61% of the parents want the Act to require parent representation on evaluation and curr- iculum committees at the school, local board, regional and provincial levels. These results clearly indicate that parents want the province to give them a more signifi- cant role in determining the educational des- tiny of their children.
