Discuss need for computer co-ordinator
- Sixteen recommendations, . including
spending $88,800 for computer hardware
and hiring a computer co-ordinator, could
affect Huron county schools by September.
The Huron County Board of Education, at •
its January meeting, referred the recom-.
mendations to board staff to have them in-
. eluded in the 1985 budget.
Computer committee chairman Art .
Clarke- of Wingham, said the most con-
troy ersial item in the 16 recommendations
was the computer co-ordinator position.
"Will this be another body within the
. system? asked trustee John Jewitt.,
Mr. Clarke said it would be. up to the
board's personnel committee to suggest if
the - position can be handled with present
staff or a new peison is to behired.
- Other recommendations include allotting
$1,200 for each elementary school to 'pur-
chase computer hardware and $60,000 for'
the county's five secondary schools to pur-
chase computer hardware,
Another .recommendation suggested that
a standard model computer be used at
elementary school for introductory com-
puter courses at the secondary level. No
specific model was named by the cominit-
tee.
Trustee Murray Mulvey; after being told
there is a "slight lack" of computers in
Huron's secondary schools, asked if money.
would be better spent on more equipment
rather than on a co-ordinator.
Mr. Clarke said that in discussions with
surrounding school boards, a co-ordinator
was necessary at least in the initial stages of
introducing computers to the schools.
The co-ordinator would be responsible for
ensuring quality computer programs and
the actual use of the computers by providing
training/for teachers, said Mr. Clarke.
