Mitchell s chool-
c ommittee sees trend
Columban 'kids,
return to•toilege.
The ad hoc committee
looking into the Mitchell
situation. feels its figures
indicate a trend of ,growing
interest on the part of
secondary, school students in
technical programs.
Nine years agO, during the
1969.70 school seaaon„ 46
Mitchell and area students
attended NOrthwestern
Secondary -School in Strat-
ford. Eight students trav-
elled to the high school in
Listowel.
From 54 students travel-
ling out of town that year, or
roughly eight per cent of the
Mitchell total, the figure
climbed progressively until
by the 1975.76 school year,
fr3m the Mitch-
ell area were attending the
-Stratford and Listowel
schools.
That number of students
represented almost 20 per
cent of the Mitchell total.
Last year, the figure fell to
131k students but the
committee's report suggests
that the pr
edict
is not
enough to predict a reversal
of the growing trend of
students to travel out of
town.
, The bulk of the students
leaving Mitchell, according
to the report, are heading for
Northwestern, attracted by
the school's comprehensive
technical programs and facil-
ities.
Last year, it cost the board
$21,168 to bus .121 Mitchell
and area students to North-
westere,. three to Stratford
Central and six to Listpwel.
Presumably, if all those
students could be kept in
Mitchell, enrolment figures
aLlic school this year would
be• 634 rather than' 503.
And according to Board
Chairman Barbara Herman,
those students.. wouldn't be'
missed in Stratford.
• "Both Central and North-
western could be very viable
without involving Mitchell,"
she told the board.
;Stratford Central recorded
an' opening day enrolment
last weekof 1,348 'while
Northwestern registered
13,70 students on the first
day of classes.
'Northwestern wouldn't
miss the Mitchell enrolment..
The report indicates ,that an
overcrowding problem in cer-
tain shop areas 'of the school
already exists.
• ,'We have five portables at
Northwestern," said Trustee
Mary Hill. "We have kids
jammed in there and it's
McKillop
going to be three or four
years before it 'eases."
"'With busing costs, per-
haps an investment now (in"
expansion at Mitchell) is
worthwhile," she added. ' '
According to the report,
both the principal and tech-
nical director , at' North-
western agree that Mitchell
should develop its own tech-
nical programs.
MANY OPTIONS
CONSIDERED
'If the committee's
suggestions are brought into
effect, not only would Mitch-
ell students not have to travel
to Northwestern, but prob-
ably wouldn't be allowed to.
"To date, students in the
Mitchell District High School
attendance area have 'been
given the opportunity to
choose freely between
Mitchell and Northwestern
and most members of our
committee expressed their
opinion that in the past, it
might have been made too
easy for students in the
Mitchell attendance area to
select Northwestern," writes
committee chairman Trustee
Earl Oppenhauser in his
report.
The committee suggests
an alternative might be to
make attendance at Mitchell
mandatory, at least for
grades. nine 'and 10.
-The- committee has also
taken into account, according
to , Oppenhauser, that it
would' be unfair to- force
students to stay in Mitchell if
course offerings and facilities
there continue to be inferior
to those in the Stratford
schools.s,
Therefore, expansion and
alteration of the Mitchell
school is seen as the only
answer:.
Members of the committee
travelled to two, schools in
Middlesex County which
have successfully expanded
their programs and headed
'off the rush of students to the
larger centres. '
Their conclusion was that
the auto shop program
offered in the two schools is
extremely popular and per- ,,.
haps some similar course
should be developed in
Mitchell,
A tentative cost 'estimation
involved 'in beginning auto
'shop at Mitchell was set at
$90,000 and members of the
committee had arranged to
meet with ministry of edu-
catiai officials o1Monday to
discuss receiving goyern-
ment support for the', pro-
gram.
As well as auto shop, a
report from Keith Thompson
superintendent of program,
suggests starting 'a four-year
technical program at Mitch-
ell Which would also offer
woodworking, machine shop
and drafting. a course in
electricity was considered,
but Thompson's report
rejects the idea suggesting
there might not be sufficient
interest on the part of
students.
The shop programs are
'receiving greatest attention
from the board at this point,
but boys' occupations and art
have also been proposed.
Students now at North-
western would be allowed to
;complete their courses at the
school, without having to
make the switch to Mitchell:
Board Chairman Herthan
suggested some co-operative
scheme with Northwestern
would have to be worked out.
ADDITIONS
AND ALTERATIONS
The committee left no
doubt that expansion of
facilities at Mitchell would be
unavoidable if technical pro.
grants are. introduced,
However, 'some courses„
could be accomodated if
certain alterations to existing
facilities were made.
As an, example, Oppen-
hauser suggested that the
barn situated to the east of
the school could be converted
to take in the boys' occu-
pations program. The barn,
thoUgh sturdy, would require
too extensive a reworking to
suit it 'to the auto' shop
program,
If Mitchell's auto shop is to
attract students, a Well-
equipped addition would be
necessary according to
Thompson.,
Oppenhauser , pointed out
that a number of existing
areas at the, Mitchell school
could be converted for other
uses. He mentioned the
balcony in the gymnasium as
well as se veral classrooms
that are rarely used.
7 The gallery in the school's
modern library could be
changed to take in the art ,or
drafting programs, according
to Thompson, As for the
existing shops, Thompson
-said they're ,-adequate now
but not suitable for an
expanded program.
'The existing cafeteria
could become an auto betty
shop, but that would require
the construction of a new
cafeteria.
Other ,suggestions looked,
at included using some of the
facilities at nearby Upper
