"If we're going to do anything that produces odours, we should notify parents so they have the option to keep the child home." • Zettel agreed that the board did all it could under the circumstances in Formosa, but said there is a need to look at policy for the future. Trustee Christine . Zettel agreed. She noted that sensitivity to odours is a concern for parents and their children. Business superintendent Paul Serre said the board "pushed and pushed to get the (painting) done in the summer". Workers'schedules, humid weather and a mix-up in the colour of the paint led to the work being delayed and finished on a weekend after school resumed. "Other than doing it ourselves, I don't know what we can do;" said Serre. Acting Director of Education Rosemary Kennedy said parents have the .option to keep their chil- dren at home m situations like the one at Formosa where they may be so-called environmental factors that could trigger allergies or discom- fort. Trustees agreed to put the issue on the .agenda for a committee meeting to look at ways that parents could be forewarned in a similar case. Looking at JK for 1995 •from page 1 asked for the funds for the 1996-97 school year. "We certainly have to look at starting our. building program for junior kindergarten next year al- ready," Yenssen said. The Bruce Board has spent more than two year's fighting the provin- cially -mandated junior kindergarten program and only agreed to the pilot projects in the spring of this year. • The board based at least part of its fight on the argument that the program wasn't needed or wanted by county parents. In fact, enrolment in junior kindergarten pilot projects has been higher than expected, forcing ad- ministration to split classes at three of the four pilot project sites. Those projects were located at schools where kindergarten classes were predicted to be very small. "The original plan was to top up the kindergarten classes to max (maximum class size) and we just received such a great response from parents interested in sending their four year olds that yes, we had to split classes at three of the four schools," Yenssen .said. Meanwhile a trial run for all -day every -other -day regular kindergarten in Ripley is drawing mixed reviews. Ripley area trustee Alan Mackay said parents are satisfied with the new program and children are adap- ting to the routine. Yenssen agreed that there arc good . aspects, including greater flexibility for parents to plan their own schedules, with the all -day alternate option. But she said a report from classroom teacher Cheryl Wilkcn indicates that some children are not learning the classroom routine because their attention lags during the long day, or because they miss. a day. "A student could be absent a day in theweek when they just go Tuesday and Thursday and essen- tially they would then miss six days of school. And when you're educating young children, constant reinforcement of concepts is essen- tial. For a child to go six days before being exposed to a concept • again would hamper the learning process," Yenssen said. She suggested there are ways around the problem, including having parents do reviews with their children at home. Ripley was chosen for the pilot project when a survey indicated 75% of parents wanted all day altematc kindergarten. Yenssen admitted a report after only one month may have been too early to give a clear picture of the experiment. She wants another report in the new year. Not many could replace Murray Elston •from page 1 this board and the doors it's opened," Eagleson said, "I know of only a few men in this county who could replace him," Eagleson added, before correcting himself to say "menrand women". Chair Barry ,Schmidt agreed that Elston has worked hard for the board in his role as MPP: and agreed to send him the Board's thanks and congratulations.
