The board set its spending priorities Monday night. First on the list was St. Michael's school in Stratford where the board hopes to convert two classrooms to in- dustrial arts rooms and two classrooms to home economics rooms. It also plans to make a gym 'balcony into a music room, including equip- ment for each. The estimated cost is $185,000. Its second priority for 1979 is to add , three classrooms at St. Joseph's school in Clinton to replace two portables there now, plus the ad- dition of a special education facility there for the pupils in the county of Huron. The estimated cost is $368,500. Its third priority for 1979 is the purchase of two new buses to replace two 1973 66 -passenger buses at an estimated cost of $35,000. In 1980 the board proposes to buy two additional new buses for an estimated $36,000 to replace two 1974 72 - passenger buses. In addition the board proposes two classrooms, a resource centre, kit- chen and sleeping ac- commodation as a facility for out -door education for the system schools in co-operation with one of _ the Con- servation . Authorities in the two counties, at an estimated cost of $281,500. In 1981 the board would consider the purchase of a four to five acre site in the town of Listowel at an estimated cost of $100,000 to build a five -room school on the site in 1982. A library resource and general purpose room, change rooms and health room -will be included at an estimated cost of $410,000. Also planned for 1982 at St. Joseph's school in Stratford, is a library resource, general pur- pose and change rooms at. an estimated cost of $275,000. William Eckert, Director of Education,. said improvements would "look after some of our needs but the list is open for deletions or additions of items not already there". 'Trustee Ronald Murray of Dublin questioned why schools lacking such things as gyms were not -included in the list of proposals. He stated, "we're not going for equality of education -- some schools have everything and others - zilch !" He was told the board would lack credibility if it included in its list of proposals the needs of every school. Trustee Ronald Marcy of Stratford asked when the board could expect reply from the ministry of education on its decision to approve or not approve the proposals in the five-year forecast. He was told it could be February or not at all. He suggested that if the board was turned down it should send a delegation to Toronto to speak directly to ministry of- ficials. Trustee William Kinahan of Lucknow questioned the outdoor education centre and what conservation, authority would . be in- volved. Mr. Eckert told him it could be any authority in the tw .. counties and the proposal to the ministry had to be submitted early because if approved, much time was needed to research locations and work out the agreement. Mr. Eckert said many boards had -worked out agreements and the ministry, looked favourably on such projects. John O'Leary of Staffa asked about the school at Exeter saying "I think the board only did a minimum there this year". To which Mr. Eckert replied that possibly during the next few ye rs with the con- tinuing growth in Exeter it would be necessary to look into improvements there. Business superin- tendent Jack Lane said that new projects could be added to the list of Ripley District CONTINUED FROM P. 14 day, December 4th. Parent - teacher interviews will be held that day.
