The annual reviewand approval of the board's special education plan was done on April 8. Superintendent of kducation Gaeten Blanchette said there will be no increase or decrease to staff this year.. "We'll maintain what we presently have," said Mr. Blanchette. , Now, for special education in Huron Perth Separate Schools, there, is one special education co-ordinator, 15.8 special educa- tion 'teaching positions, 11.8 resource withdrawal teaching positions, three teachers in self-contained classes, one •enrichment teacher, one speech language pathologist, three teacher's aides and a part-time psYchOlogist. _ In its focus on the enrichment students, talent pools for each school will be made. - Mt. Blanchette said the talent pools will be made up of students who score 85 per cent in two intelligence testing tests. There will be general enrichment for all students which will include such activities as brainstorming, creative problem -solving technique's and critical thinking skills. • Talent pool students g� one step farther by being involved in such activities as option programs in creative writing, painting and astronomy. • Mr. Blanchette said the "gifted" stUdents will go on further to be involved in activities with a small number of other gifted students • from Huron and Perth. These activities are •expected to take place only twice a year and are dependent upon transportation funding from the ministry of education.
