Parents till trying to save gifted students program Parents who want the Bruce County Board of Education to save its program for gifted students arc still working toward that goal. In June, parents of students' in the TRAIL independent learning pro- gram made a presentation, asking the board to restore the program to four full-time teachers and make sure it continues to serve the special needs of gifted elementary students. A progress report tabled in November indicates that the pro- gram has been "restructured," with the two remaining teachers working at seven -tenths rather than full-time. with students. But Superintendent Sharon Ribey said there are "excit- ing" indications thatparents; especially in the Kincardine area; are willing to help out with the program. One initiative they have under- taken is to survey the .community to find retired professionals, seniors or other resource people willing to share their experience with students and add'enrichment to the program. Director of Education Paul Martindale praised the efforts of the parents' advisory committee to the gifted program, and said the project will give the board a chance to try to .expand • the gifted program beyond the intermediate 'grades it now serve's. • He also predicted there will be more advisory committees for other programs as the board tries to keep up "quality programs with fewer resources."
