HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 1988-03-30, Page 7Computer report tabled A comprehensive report on the computing services inventory and present and future needs of the Huron County Board of Education, requested last year by superinten­ dent of operations Paul Carroll, has been prepared by the Board’s computer co-ordinator Frank Mac­ Donald. The lengthy document was presented to the board at its regular session March 7. The report gives the board a chance to look at “how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go’’ inco-ordinating the county school system’s progression into the age of automation, according to Mr. Carroll, who said a similar report was last presented in 1985. The introduction to the docum­ ent notes that the 1988 report was prepared to conduct and analyze the board’s equipment inventory, to analyze the county’s curriculum requirements, and to co-ordinate the direction for the evolution of office administration and student report systems. The MacDonald report gives a number of specific recommenda­ tions, including the standardizing of all software throughout the system, which in turn will dictate the future hardware to be purchas­ ed; establishing a common format for the organization of student data throughout the system, and providing research into linking the board office in Clinton to all schools in the county; providing support and training to all principals; and providing ongoing support for all administrative and academic staff as they develop computer compe­ tence. In addition, it calls for the placement of a general-access ICON computer lab in every school in the county, as well as for the training of an on-site administrator for each lab; and for the provision of stand-alone non-GEMS hard­ ware and appropriate software in certain specialized classrooms and department offices or staff rooms. To accomplish these objectives, the report asks that the HCBE allocate $90,000 over the next three years for school office automation; $60,000 over the next three years for the automation of school libraries; and establish an annual research and development fund of $10,000. Mr. Carroll said the board’s main objective in its computer program is to keep moving foward in step with current ministry of education guidelines. “If we follow (the MacDonald) plan, we’ll be exactly where the ministry says we should be,’’ he concluded. 4-H club encounters outdoors BY KATHY VAN BAKEL The second meeting of the Londesboro “Encounter the Out­ doors’’ club was held on Saturday, March 12 at 10 a.m. in the bush.
