Mr. Fleck Stipported Mrs.
Hazlitt's approach adding that 'if
the 'board wanted the survey
completed this year it Would have
to meet and decide What area, to
evaluate_ : He said the area would
have to be decided on by at least
two weeks time so the staffs of the
schools could be briefed. on the,
program.
Mr. Allan suggested to -the
board that the executives ,of the
iiiiron County branch 'affiliates of,
teacher' federations consider the-
. advIsabilliy of .rescheduling their

The first step the board will
take of ter designating the, area
to be studied is to set up an
internal evaluation corinnittee.
The internal 'committee will have
as wide a representation as.
possible and will include public
and' ' professionals. The'
committee will undertake a role
review`' involving teachers,
truktees and administration.. It
'will also complete a questionnaire
-sent'.to., the public aimed at
gaining some insight into 'the
opinions and feelings of people on
the quality of education 'in the
system. Program reviews will also
be ddnete determine the value of
the curricultim of the schools.
The internal committee shOuld
be finished their work by May
and its report will then go to, an'
external committee. The external
group is made up half of. mitiistry.

Huron Comity system. They

• From thete the two committees
do an co-operative review and•
prepare an evaluation report that
is given to the Huron County
Board and to" the minisry. The
report is then left at the board's
discretion ,as to what they do with
it and ,.the final step is an
examination of any follow up'
activites the board feels are
necessary.. Mr. Fleck explained
that the designed impact of .the
evaluation also increases the need
'for immediate action. He said the •
reports_ questionnaires and
comments ofthese involved are to
be impulse, reactions rather, than'
thought out opinions. He said the
ministry would like a "snapshot"
image of 'the education system
from' the participants and 'to get
this the people mast offer
immediate reactions td.gliestions
rather than going home and
:,thinkitig about, them. •
• Fie said the ,board can expect
imprOved communication within-
the education systeM as well as
unfiltered perceptions of parents,

students as to their expectations.
