Mr. Eckert said he felt the newspapers’ headlines needed clarification as they gave readers a mistaken impression of $338,000 deficit at the end of 1986. Mr. Eckert had a copy of the board report as carried by the Mitchell Advocate with the headline High School Expenses cause Huge Deficit. Thedeficitwasblamed on the lack of government grants for the startup expenses of the new secondary school in Stratford. The extensive renovation of the St. Michael’s Elementary school to convert it to St. Michael Secondary School had not been approved by the Ministry of Education when the work was done and the Ministry would not approve the grant for work already completed. The students from St. Michael’s Elementary (except for Grades 7 and 8 who remain in the St. Michael Secondary School) were transferr­ ed to St. Aloysius School. To accommodate these extra students there were renovations at St. Aloysius and these expenses were included in the deficit. Trustee Ronald Murray, finance chairman, said, “I’m sorry to say we didn’t get any grants for the start up on the secondary school” and he said he didn’t know how the deficit will be paid off but “I’ll guarantee the $338,000 will be addressed”. In other business, contract talks between the board and the teach­ ers’ negotiating committee are continuing without the need of an arbitrator. A number of staff changes were approved at the board meeting Monday night. Inez Haid, who taught at St. Mary’s School at Hesson for many years, has retired. Rhoda Daniel, of Holy Name of Mary School in St. Mary has resigned. Linda Wagg and Maureen Sabin were granted one-year leaves of absence. Brian Morissy was given four days leave of absence to attend a teachers’ meeting for the purpose of fulfill­ ing responsibilities on the provin­ cial teacher welfare committee for the Ontario English Catholic Tea­ chers’ Association. Gaetan Blanchette, one of the superintendents of education for the board, spoke on the teaching of Frenchandhesaidcomingup in the local schools will be an extension of the French classes from 20 minutes to 40 minutes. He said the program will be the same but updated. LADIES’ OVERSIZE JACKETS REG.
