Huron-Perth Board ups bus driver
pay, agrees to rent playground
(by 'Wilma. Jke)
The Huron-Perth County Ront-
an Catholic Separate School
Board approved an increase of
$1.00 per day in the rates paid to
the drivers of the seven board-
owned buses at a meeting in
Dublin Monday. The increase will
raise the rate to $17.00 per day for
187 days during the school term.
An increase of 9.8 per cent was
approved for the operators of the
buses contracted by the board for
the 1976-77. term.
The Director of Education,
John Vintar of Stratford, had his
salary adjusted upward $2,400
raising it to $37,800, effective
August 1, 1976, to July 31, 1977.
Trustees Howard Shantz of
Stratford and John O'Drswsky of
St. Marys were appointed to the
committee to arrange the board-
staff banquet in the fall.
The board passed by a narrow
margin a motion to pay a rental
fee of $500.00 for the use of the
Dublin and District Athletic As-
sociation grounds by the students
at St. Patrick's. School which
adjoins the playgrounds.
Dublin trustee Joe Looby said
the board had paid "a Couple of
hundred dollars a year" in the
past for the use of the grounds
and that the Athletic Assoc-
iation's expenses increasing
made them up the rent to $500.
"This runs from June 1976 until
'June 1977 and will be rene-
gotiated every year. It could go
down." Mr. Looby said.
With increasing enrolment and
a new portable classroom being
added at the Dublin school "we
haven't the room at all" for a
proper playground without using
the Athletic Association land, Mr.
Looby said.
Trustees who voted against
paying the $500 rent seemed to
feel that a precedent was being
set. Some other schools in the
HPRCSS system have their play-
grounds on parish land and
therefore don't pay any rent, the
Dublin trustee told the Expositor.
In a recorded vote, asked for by
Stratford trustee Howard Shantz,
the fee was approved by 6 to 5
vote and is for the academic year
1976-77, to be paid in September.
In favour were' Donald. Crowley of
Gadshill, Greg Fleming of Cred-
, iton, Francis Hicknell of Seaforth,
Joseph Looby of Dublin, Vincent
Young of Goderich and William
Kinahan of Lucknow. Against
were Mickey Vere, Ronald Marcy
and Howard. Shantz all of Strat-
ford; Ted Geoffrey of Zurich and
John O'Drowsky of St. Marys.
A board owned portable class-
room rented to the Perth Board of
Education last school term, has
been moved to St. Patrick's
School in Dublin. It will be used to,
alleviate the crowded classrooms
in the Dublin School and to
accommodate an additional en-
rolment of 20 students from the
Mitchell area who will be attend-
ing school at St. Patrick's,
starting in the fall e term in
September.
Permission was granted to
Glenn Rittinger of the Lutheran
Church, Berea by the Sea,
Goderich to hold summer church.
school classes in St. Mary's
Separate School in Goderich from
August 16 to August 27.
The meeting adjourned at 10:45 •
p.m. when the board went into
committee of the whole.
