THE SCHOOL QUESTION
(Continued from Page One)
senior inspector for Huron County, is the secretary of this
committee. There was considerable discussion at this meeting.
The Reeve of Bayfield maintained that the Western end of the
Stanley Township School Area wished to have a four room sch-
ool at Bayfield. The three reeves went away to discuss the
matter with their councils. The result was that all three
councils passed resolutions in favor of erecting the county
school area. When Bayfield Council passed its Resolution No.
84/65 in favor of a county school area it did so with the
conviction that this move would enable provision of adequate
school facilities in Bayfield. However, it also drew atten—
tion in Rem:intl.:1 84/65 to another Resolution 85/65 which
it passed at the same meeting and which said:
"That this Council of the Village of Bayfield, having
considered the wishes of an overwhelming majority of the
Ratepayers and Parents of this Village and a large majority
of the Ratepayers and Parents of the former School Sections
No. 3 and No.4 does declare itself strongly opposed to the
removal of elementary school facilities from Bayfield.
"Further, because of geographic considerations, economic
factors and population trends, it would seem in the inter-
ests of the whole Stanley Township School Area that two
rooms should be added to the present comparatively new aches]
to provide a four-roomed school unit for Hayfield and the
Western portion of Stanley Townihip, and this Council rec-
ommends that such action be taken.*
Copies of these resolutions were sent to the Secretaries
of the two school areas affected. Mr. Burrows, Mr. Kinkead,
Mr. MacNaughton and Mr. Davis, the Minister of Education.
Three members of Village Council and seven ratepayers also
attended a meeting of the Stanley Township Area School Beard
on 7 April to be present when the Village Council*, resolu-
tions came up for discussion. Most of those attending the
meeting spoke to the latter containing the resolutions. The
Beard did net empress a collective opinion.
In the last week of April Mr. Kinkead and Mr. Burrows pro-
duced a report on proposed school facilities for our county
school area, and a copy of this report was received at Bay-
field on 29 April. The report was written as if it bad been
produced by the combined School Boards of Tuakersmith and
Stanley. It should be mentioned here that at the Consultat-
ive School Committee on 1 March Mr. Kinkead had been requ-
ested to study coatings for a single central school, and for
the proposition of a smaller central school with a four room
school at Bayfield. Hewever, the inspectors' report or
"Board Report" as they chose to word it, ignored any coat-
ings on the Bayfield addition, said it was uneconomic and
dismissed it as a serious proposal. Reports of the regular
meetings of the Tuckersmith and Stanley Township councils
in the Seaforth and Clinton papers indicate that the report
was noted bat not approved. The Stanley Township Area School
Board has not yet approved the report. Tour Council of the
Village of Bayfield has no intention of approving the, report,
and claims that some statements in the report are grossly
inaccurate.
It is evident that the inspectors and some officials of
the Department of Education have on two occasions, as we
have documented them in this summary, interfered with the
process of local decision on school facilities in this area-
and in such a way as to deny normal democratic process. Two
letters to the Department of Education have brought the an-
swer that any decision on the Bayfield and Western Stanley
Township Area school problem will be made by the local board.
When it suits their purpose Department of Education officials
seem to interfere with impunity, and then become all demo-
cratic again, when it suits their purpose. Is Government be-
coming too big, and are bueaucrats in too great a hurry to
take account of the expressed wishes of large sections of the
community T Tour Village Council and your representatives on
the Stanley Township Area School Board are not against the
law of the land as expressed in Bill 54. They have even gone
further and supported the erection of one of the first county
school areas in this part of the Province. But your elected
representatives now need your expressed opinion and support
to prevent the :masseuse which is being proposed in the re-
moval of elementary school facilities from the Western end
of Sanley Township School Area.
