votes to expand
The Huro.n County Board of
Education has unanimously ap
proved a motion to increase its size
by two trustees, returning its
membership to 16.
The move, made at the board’s
June 6 meeting in Clinton, will
bring board strength back to the
position it was in prior to the
passage of the Ontario govern
ment’s Bill 30, which extended
funding to separate school boards
as of January 1, 1987. Under this
legislation, separate school sup
portin Huron County was trans
ferred to the Huron-Perth Roman
Catholic Separate School Board
(HCRCSSB), eliminating the posi
tions of the two trustees previously
elected to represent separate
school supporters in the county.
The legislation which eliminated
two of its members has rankled
with both HCBE trustees and
administrative staff ever since,
and the present motion could
return the board to what many
consider full strength in a county as
large as Huron.
In making the motion, John
Elliott (trustee for Blyth, Morris
and East Wawanosh), said: “In my
opinion (this board) operated well
with 16 members.’’
Mr. Elliott proposed a second
motion, also unanimously approv
ed, that the board’s executive
committee, under the leadership of
HCBE chairman John Jewitt (Hul
lett, McKillop and Seaforth),
prepare a guide relative to trustee
distribution in the county to assist
the clerk-treasurers of the munici
palities, yet to be named, to
prepare the necessary by-law.
Since the county’s former separ
ate school trustees represented the
north and south parts of the county
respectively, some trustee redis
tribution will be necessary to
increase the board size to 16 from
the present 14. The municipalities
represented under the new legisla-
tionwon’tbeknownuntil up-to-
date enumeration data for the
county and trustee distribution
guidelines become available, like
ly at the end of July.
Previous data presented at the
HCBE meeting indicated the
following public school support,
outof eligible voters, in the last
municipal elections: Blyth, 719 out
McKillop appoints
recreation
board members
of 741 (97 per cent); Brussels, 866
of879(99percent); Morris, 1279 of
1355(94percent); Grey, 1414of
1479 (96 per cent); Hullett, 1368 of
1457(94 percent); McKillop, 804of
1156 (70 per cent); East Wawa-
nosh, 823 of 869 (95 per cent); and
West Wawanosh, 996 of 1093 (91
per cent).
The local decision to alter trustee
representation won’t take effect
until the Ontario government Bill
125, dealing with the changes,
comes into effect, probably by
August 10. The Bill now awaits
third and final reading in the
legislation.
If approved, Mr. Elliott pointed
out that the school trustee repre
sentation agreed upon by local
school boards, with the approval of
the Ontario Municipal Board
(OMB), will remain in effect for the
next two regular municipal elec
tions - i.e., for the next six years.
If approved by all those involv
ed, Huron County Public school
supporters will get to vote for their
16 trustees this November.
