Closed Wednesday Ir is BY DAVE SYKES The Huron County Board of Education decided to advertise province-wide in seeking a replacement for retiring superintendent, Jim Coulter. Coulter made, a surprise announcement of his retite- ment at the last board meet- ing and the board decided to review the administrative structure before recommend- ing a replacement be hired. The board was split in attempting to decide whether or not a candidate should be _ selected from within the County or outside. They agreed on a motion to adver- tise the position provincially with the executive committee to screen the applications. The committee will then present a short list of candidates to the board for final interviews. John Elliott suggested there was no need to go outside the County adding that there are enough good people within the Huron system to fill the vacancy. Trustee Bert Morin dis- agreed claiming the system needed some new blood. "It's like marrying your cousin because you don't get any new blood," he said. "It is a, good idea to get new blood into the position." , Trustee Shirley Hazlitt echoed Merin's position adding that such a move would narrow the-field even before they started seeking a replacement. Herb Turkheim said there likely were good candidates within the Huron system but suggested that for a few hundred dollars of advertising money they should look around. The first time the board had any input in hiring was when Peter Gryseels appear- ed before trustees at a meet- • ing. The board agreed they should continue that prac- tice. Coulter, a superintendent with the, board for 20 years, will retire June 30. He is 55. In 1960 he was a government school inspector for Goderich and Colborne, Hullett and McKillop townships. When. County school boards were formed in 1969 he became the first superintendent of. the. Huron board. A summer school program of English instruction may be made available to Indo- Chinese refugees with the aid of the- provincial government. The Huron County Board of Education agreed to pro- ceed with the proposal, aecomoilating the classes during It4ye normal school schedule at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. The program, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Recreation, would offer two hours of classroom time per day for six weeks. The class time would be divided into an hour of English instruction and an hour of recreational activity. The . Ministry program would have each refugee student attending be accompanied by a local volunteer student or buddy. The buddy. would work with the refugee on a volunteer basis and assist the student in the language-learning process. To make the program viable, superintendent Don. Kenwell said that 10 students and 10 buddies are needed. The cost for instruct- ion would be at least $900, although that is' negotiable. Director of Education, John Cochrane said there were 18 refugee students in the co4rIty. school system, Fourteen attend elementary school and fourr are at 'Goderich and District Collegiate Institute. Trustee Bert Morin said the English instruction should be offered to an entire refugee family and not be limite d to the students. "It's just the tip of the iceberg. The students will learn English but will speak their native tongue at home," he said. "The pro- - gram should include their parent 1 as well.". Cochrane claimed there were .night school courses offered that catered to the refugee's language needs. Shirley Hazlitt reiterated Morin's sentiments claiming,. that often the mothers of these, families rarely get outside the home and have less of an opportunity to learn the new language.
