School enrollment, teachers projected The overall secondary school student population in Huron Coun­ ty is expected to drop by only 15 students next September, down to a total of 3,755 from last Septem- ber’s3,770; while the total number of secondary school teachers will riseby one half-time teacher, to 243.5 teachers, up from 243 in 1986. However, the numbers at indi­ vidual high schools vary more widely, from only one more student at F.E. Madill in Wingham (for a total of 929 this September), to 45 fewer at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton (for a total of 765). The Seaforth Secondary School will see 332 students enrolled this fall, down 21 from last year; Goderich will have 811, up by 17 from 1986, and Exeter will have 918, up by 35. F.E. Madill will hire 1.5 more teachers than it had last year; Clinton Secondary will have three fewer teachers; Seaforth High will have 1.5 fewer on staff; Goderich will have 1.5 more; and Exeter will have two more teachers from last year. Bob Allen, Huron County direc­ tor of education, said that the staffing changes are the result of a “tremendously complicated work sheet” developed by the board of education’s workload committee, but that the major reason is the result of considerations in the new collective agreement signed last Miss Nancy Jean Craig stay­ ed over Good Friday with Jack and Mrs. Conley.

December between the board and its secondary teachers, with new staffing formulae applying to class sizes in advanced, basic and technical programs. And although there are slightly fewer secondary school students within the system, the changes between schools may be partially theresultof students switching from technical to the recently- expanded basic programs, accord­ ing to the committee. It may also be the result of some students opting to change schools to take advant­ age of a certain program offered at one school but not at another, a move permitted by the board provided it does not result in a rise in transportation costs. Figures are not yet available on the staffing of the cou nty ’ s elemen- tary schools, since a staffing formula is one of the items still beingdiscussedinthe on-going talks between the board and its elementary school teachers.

This term Dennis Terpstra and Priska Menzi have been work­ ing on the newspaper for the Listowel Banner and the Brussels Citizen. The first thing we did this term was write about the spring play, “It Takes a Wizard”. We interviewed all the pupils from gr. 5&6 that have a main part in the play. The next thing we did was interview Mrs. Colquhoun, since she went to a French conference in Toronto. She told us about the PUBLIC MEETING CONCERNING A PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT AFFECTING THE TOWNSHIP OF GREY TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the County of Huron and the Council of the Corporation of the Tounship of Grey will hold a public meeting on Monday, May 25, 1987 at 8:00 p.m. in the Cranbrook Community Centre to consider a proposed official plan amendment under Section 17 of the Planning Act and three proposed zoning amendments under Section 34 of the Planning Act. The proposed official plan amendment would designate part of Lot 16, Concession 11, in the Township of Grey (see attached map), as part of the urban designation of the village of Cranbrook. This designation change from Restricted Agriculture to Urban would allow for the severing of the "Cameron Residence," a building of historical significance, from the farm parcel. The corresponding zoning by-law amendment would change the zoning of the subject area from Restricted Agriculture (AG2) to Village Residential (VR1). In addition, two amendments to Zoning By-law 7-1985 for the Township of Grey are proposed as follows: 1. Changes are proposed to the definitions of certain automotive uses such that body shops are permitted in the Village Industrial (VM1) zone, or as home industries in the agricultural area, or accessory to an automotive sales establishment. Body repair work would not be permitted a,’ a service station except for minor body repair which is incidental to the mechanical servicing of motor vehicles. 2. The minimum lot size requirements for new lots being created in the village residential and village commercial zones are proposed to be lowered as follows: Lots with a private well: Lot Area - from 1850 sq. m to 1400 sq. m; Lot Depth - from 46 m to 40 m; Lots with public water: Lot Area - from 1395 sq. m to 900 sq. m. Lot Depth - from 37 m to 31 m. ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed official plan amendment and'zoning changes. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed official plan amendment and proposed zoning amendments is available for inspection during regular office hours at the County of Huron Department of Planning and Development (524-2188) or the Township Clerk's office (887-6268).
