This report by the Canadian Education Association identifies present trends and school board concerns in the use of auxiliary personnel. The information contained in this report was obtained through a questionnaire sent to 75 school boards in the summer of 1974. The first section deals with paid aides and presents school board policy on paid aides and information on the various types of paid aides. The second section concerns volunteers and includes information on recruitment, responsibility for and training of aides/volunteers, teacher-volunteer relations, differences between volunteer programs in elementary and secondary schools, problems, liability, and the future use of volunteers. The final section contains the questionnaire. (RC)
