Mr. Vintar reported he 'has interviewed three applicants for the two new, positions for French . teachers for the board. No contracts have been signed as yet. The board has at the present time four teacherS giving French instruction but with the teaching of French to be increased from Grade 8 this year to Grades 6 and 7 next year. The extra two teachers are necessary. Mr. Vintar provided the board members with a list of the teachers who have taken the family life course at St. Jerome's College in Kitchener,given during the summer vacation. To date 31 :teachers have taken the course. During the summer vacation period this year the board is willing to pay the $120 tuition fee, especially inviting teachers from schools who do not have any staff who have taken the course. No teachers from St. Marys, I-lesson; St. Joseph's, Kings- bridge; Ecole Ste Marie, Zurich, R.R.3; and two Stratford Schools, St. Ambrose, and Immaculate Conception and St. Boniface, Zurich, have had a teacher take the family life course. Sports activities Laurie Kraftcheck, a Grade 8 teacher at St. Michael's School, Stratford, and Ed. Cappelli, a Grade 7 teacher at Holy Name of Mary School, St. Marys, and chairman of sports council for the schools in Huron and Perth under the board's jurisdiction, made a presentation on the work done by the council in co-ordinating sports activities. Mr. Kraftcheck said that he feels students should be recognized for accomplishments in sports as well as academic endeavours as some studetns excel only in sports. Mr. Kraftcheck noted that the high schools in the two counties have co-operated by giving the use of the schools and even equipment when needed. The board approved that the statutory holidays be designated as Remembrance Day, November 11 be held on Friday, November 11 in 1977, and Easter Monday be held on Monday, March 27 in 1978. The board approved a motion that the mid-winter break be March 17 to March 23, 1978 inclusive to coincide with the mid-winter break selected by Perth an dHuron Counties, subject to change should the bishops of Ontario make a request of Catholic school boards to alter the dates of the 1977-78 mid winter break so as not to conflict with Holy Week which will fall during the school break. The motion was recommended by the trustee-clergy liaison and the modified school year committee. Rev. V. J. Gleeson, Dean of the Huron-Perth Deanery wrote a letter to the board saying the priests of the deanery feel that it Canadian Industries-Mrs. William Fenton and Mrs. Ross Taylor.

Two members from each branch are permitted to attend. It was agreed to cater for Graduation Banquet of East would be better if the spring break in the separate schools did not coincide with Holy Week (as it will be in 1978) as they feel that the families could more easily participate in "'Holy Week Liturgies in their respective - parishes. However, in expressing the above opinion the priests said they feel that the following points should be 'considered -- that with the public schools of Huron and Perth counties, including the high schools which have Catholic students, holding the spring break on different dates it would cause some difficulties, especially for children in the same family, having two different weeks for spring breaks. Father Gleeson noted too that with integrated bus service with the public system it would cost the separate board $4,730 for transportation, during Holy Week if the dates were changed. Superintendent Joseph Mills noted that the conflict between the Spring Break and Holy Week would not occur again until after 1982.
