April 6, 1994 Some additions needed establish high school •rrom page 1 • classrooms, an entranceway, and a gathering area for students would be added to the Clinton public secondary school. Under ministry standards, the building can accommodate 1,440 students but .1,200 is a more realistic number, said Dr. Brown. Currently, CHSS has a student population of 650 students, 50 of which are Catholic students. The new Catholic secondary school will have a population of 600 students by the time it is offering all five secondary school years. At that time the additional space and classrooms will be required.. Rona questioned whether or not the board can afford to pay its share of the plan. Dr. Brown said it is costing the board about $250,000 a year by not havinga Catholic secondary school. The separate school board is responsible for educating all Catholic students although they may attend public schools. The board pays tuition fees to the public to Serious implications beards for educaung those students; Dr. Brown said the board can teach those students at a lower cost than the public boards. "In fact, it's not a question if the board can afford to operate the school but 'can we afford not to,"' said Dr. Brown. ' Marcy wanted more assurances of finances and agreements. "I can't vote in favor of • the school unless there's an agreement with the Huron board and if there's suitable funding," he said. • Trustees approved " Marcy's amendment. Marcy was concerned about the ,comments that were on some of the surveys. Although there were some positive comments, there were also some negative ones.

"There are going to be serious implications in terms of program delivery" said teachers' president Mark. Ciavaglia, noting the board has already lost 13 secondary teacher&in the past year. Board chair Barry Schmidt said declining enrolment and caution about over -staffing are the main reasons for the lay-off notices. "I don't like threatening, nyone's job, but we needed to protect the 'board," Schmdit said. In other years, he noted, enrolment and assessment growth meant the board did not need to be so conservative • in making preliminary staffing estimates. Schmidt predicted some of those laid off Thursday could be hired back • in September, once enrolment figures are confirmed and the board has been notified of resignations and retirements. . If those were known now, the surpluses . may be nil," Schmidt said. • • LuCkflOW: Vill Q,-iarkct LUCKNOW � . 528-3001 We Reserve The Right To Limit Quantities Ta Normal Family Requirements SUNLIGHT 8 Litre or I di3C0 6.
