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. Marie Courts
read scripture, Psalm 128. Medita
tion on the Family was given by
