Kennedy has been acting director for the past six months, and said in "that time she has "established com- munication" with staff and 'trustees in the system. The new director said the most important issues facing the board in the coming year are the continuing changes that face education. Kenne- dy named the on-going Royal Com- mission on learning and a possible provincial election in the spring as two major events that could influ- ence'education policy and planning. The biggest challenge facing the board is to determine how those changes will affect the needs of students in the classroom, she said. "The most important thing is to always keep in mind what the needs of the young people and the chil- dren are," Kennedy said in an inter- view. "I certainly believe that as the Director that has to be the focus of the board. We have to always focus on what do our children in the counties of Bruce and Grey need. How can we provide for them the • best possible education amidst all of this change?" Kennedy has been with the board since 1989 and has served as both HERE'S SOMETHING DISTINCTLY NEW! 3 -YEAR MINIMUM RATE GUARANTEE... AND YOU'RE NOT LOCKED IN. CANADA SAVINGS BONDS Now.

"We have so much here to be proud of. What we have to do is continue that pride and share the light," Kennedy said. • After a closed session, trustees decided to recruit a new superinten- • dent to fill the vacancy that Kenne- dy will leave. Until two years ago, the board had three academic super-' intendents along with its business superintendent and director of edu- cation. The number went down with the retirement of Joe Rys, of Walkerton, then again with the naming of Kennedy as acting direc- tor in March. "We've been limping along for quite a while," said board chair Bill Zettel of the decision to fill a com- plement of two academic superin- . tendents and the director. The people responsible for pre- dicting enrolment for the Bruce - Grey separate board are patting hemselves on the back for a job • well done. At the elementary level, predic- .ions 'were 'just one student off at 3052, while initial reports from the secondary level show 14 more students than expected for a total of 1114. The figures are for "full-time equivalent" students rather than the actual number of pupils in the classroom. Sacred Heart High School is the largest secondary school with 773 students, while St. Basil's in Owen Sound remains the largest elementa- ry school with 730 students in the French , Immersion and regular programs. St. Anthony's in Kincardine has 443 students in the French and English program streams, while Mother Teresa School in Walkerton, with 421 students, is the largest school with an English -only program. St. Joseph's in Port , Elgin has 405 students in the French Immer- sion and English programs, while Holy Family in Hanover has 375 students this fall. In Formosa, 270 students are registered in the French and English streams, while Mildmay has 315 students, Chepstow. has 174 and Teeswater has 131. There were 4,529 students registered with the board as of the first day of school.
