School board reappoints architect BY RHEA HAMILTON-SEEGER Huron County Board of Educa- tion has reappointed its architects for another 18 -month period. There was considerable discus - ion over the 18 -month appointment of Kyles, Garratt and Marklevitz, Stratford as consulting architects. Dr. Goddard questioned the short period of 18 months and not a full term of three years. John Elliott wanted to know if there had been any local interest in the job. Tony McQuail, chairman of the Management Committee that re- commended the hiring of the firm, said that there was one other interested firm from the county but due to the short time the committee had to make the recommendation and a previous commitment on the part of the other firm, the Stratford firm was chosen. The matter of 18 months enables less experienced board members to review the situation when they have more experience and will allow local firms another chance at the job. Kyles, Garratt and Marklevitz has done a good job in the past said Elliott, and is well informed with public buildings and various mini- stries. He hoped that that short appointment would not reflect poorly on the firm. Art Clark, chairman of the board, was impressed with his meeting with The Honorable Sean Conway, Minister of Education. Clark was among several board chairmen to meet with the minister in Toronto, Jan. 23. The minister commented about his commitment to students for transition to the world of work. Conway also announced that the basis for enrolment memorandum has been withdrawn. This means a saving of approximately $20,000 to the Huron Board. The issue evolved around the definition of a full-time and part-time student and was reflected in the grants and levies from the province to the school boards. Clark commented on how the minister answered every question and encouraged further discussion after the session had adjourned. In other business an invitation is to be extended to the Huron -Perth Separate School Board's executive committee to meet and discuss common interests. A school board retreat has been organized for March 21 and 22 in Forest, Why Forest you ask? It would seem the organizers are keen on having board members stick around for the full agenda. Topics such as trends, future educational considerations, and comparative education costs will be covered. Congratulations were extended to John Elliott who was elected vice-president of the Ontario Pub- lic School Trustees' Association and chairman of the Small Board Section for the 1986 term.
