Bd. of Ed. approves alternate proposal Huron County school trustees have approved in principle a recommendation that an alterna­ tive learning class be established at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton in time for the beginning of classes next September. Following a recommendation made by director of education Bob Allen, the decision came at the regular monthly meeting of the Huron County Board of Education held in Wingham on May 4. Mr. Allen said that the final decision to proceed with the special class would be dependent upon identifying a workable number of students for such a class, and upon being able to hire teachers for them. Later, he said that the ideal situation would involve 24 students and two extra teachers on the CHSS staff. The alternate education class would ultimately offer a different type of educational setting for disaffected students, or for those who have dropped out of secondary school, although Mr. Allen said that the first class would likely just involve recent drop-outs. He stressed that the class could in no way be considered a “special education’ ’ class in the usual sense of the word, and told trustees that funding for the group would be covered by provincial grants, and would impose no extra burden on local ratepayers. “For some reason, a lot of kids are leaving the traditional school system, and we hope the (alter­ nate) set-up will be attractive enough to keep them in school,” Mr. Allen said, adding that the proposal would be “very much in harmony with recent initiatives from the Ministry (of Education), which says that we simply have to do a better job (in education).” In answer to a question from trustee John Jewitt as to why clients for the new program would have to drop out of school before becoming eligible for the new program, Mr. Allen said that initially there would have to be some way of clearly identifying qualifying students. “We don’t want students in the regular programs ‘shopping’ a- roundfor something they think may suit them better,” he said. Within the county, CHSS has been a leader in providing alter­ nate learning programs for stu­ dents who are “falling between the cracks” in the traditional school system. Principal Joe Wooden has been instrumental in establishing two programs presently in place at CHSS to meet the needs of alienated students, and over the past three months has been one of several Huron educators to visit alternate school settings in other counties. Mr. Wooden will also attend the annual conference for ad ministrators and teachers of alter­ native schools later this year. Mr. Allen said that if the model proposed for CHSS is successful, a similar program would be con­ sidered for other municipalities within the county, although not necessarily within a school setting. ‘ ‘Family’’ was the theme for the United Church Women’s joint meeting of both units held Tuesday evening in the church basement. Marjorie Humphries was in charge of devotions opening by repeating the Lord’s Prayer follow­ ed by reflections on the prayer. “Happy the home when God is there” was sung with Marie McGavin as pianist.
