The two elementary
schools in Ripley have
new nanne.Ripley-lEfurop
Central and Ripley District
School are now officially'
know as the junior and
senior •campuses ,of
Ripley -Huron CornmunitY
School.
• "We're trying to reflect
.the use of the school by
the community, and the
use of the community by
the school. The name is a
proud reflection of. how
the town and the township
-have helped. us over a
number of years, and we
look forward to continuing
• that relationship in the
future," said principal Bill
• Pike, at the board's June 3
meeting.
• Pike told trustees the
• word.'district' in the old
name caused confusion by
implying Ripley is a sec-
ondary school. The sec-
• ondary school wasclosed
• in 1983.. • '
Criteria established by
the board have to be met
• before schools can use
"Community" in their
name, Education director
• Paul Martindale said those
criteria ,include having a
curriculum that relates to
• ,the community, involving
•• the community in Plan-
• ning, community use of.
'school facilities and a
sense of partnership or.
•• commitment between the
school and comintinity.
Ripley -Huron meets those
standards. Martindale said.
Pike said over 50 vol-
,
• unteers are involved with
the junior and senior cain-
., puses, and ,the -school 'is
used most evenings for

• Advisory Councils
New advisory councils
at each school in BruCCe
County are causing con-
• cern for the Bruce Council
of Home and School
Associations. '
Council president
Douglas Brick, of Port
Elgin, cautioned the board
that School Community
Advisory, • Councils
(SCACs) are stepping out-
side their, rolein some
cases.
"It is our observation
that many SCACs in
Bruce county are operat-
ing without regard for the
roles defined for them in
Bruce county board of
education policy and pro-
• cedures for SCACs as
approved in'May 1996,"
• Rick said in a letter to the
board.
• Superintendent David
Armstrong admits there is
cause for concern. •
"A number of SCACs
are unclear of their role,"
• Armstrong said. "And I
think the concern
emanates right from the
Ministry itself." •
• Armstrong • s.aid
. Ministry publicity empha
sizing 'parent councils! has
• led to confusion about the -
mandate of SCACs.
' we asking at this
point for school councils
to go beyond giving
advise?. Are we asking
them to take responsibility
for decisions that were
formerly made • by
trustees? I think the
anwer right now Is no,
we're still' acting in an
advisory eapacity,".
.Annstrong said.
.• Armstrong said Brick's
letter points out a general
concern rather than a spe-
cific incident of SCACs
breaching their role, 61'4
vice -chair Frank Eagleson
was anxious that,the board
doesn't get caught in prob-
lems betyveen Home and.
School and SCACs.
"They are two organi-
• zations our shidents can't,
do without:. We deed both .
of them," Eagleson said:
He noted the board policy
refers- to establishment of
SCACs at every school,
while the mandate of those
groups is Set by the
• Ministry of Education..
• Trustees discussed set-
ting up a group to co-ordi-
nate SCACs across the
