ca t ue study of Freuch immersion
The committee recommended a French
itnthersion program not be started in the
schools in Bruce County in September, 1984,
but the chairman name a corninittee to carry
out a more intensive study to determine the
best way to achieve the goal of making child-
ren functionally bilingual. The aim . "of the
new committee is to study the best ways of
implementing the program and report to the
board by February, 1985. .
The original French immersion Commit-
tee was formed following a request for a
French immersion program in the county
from a group of parents from Wiarton-

Hepworth and another group from Kincar-
dine. The parents belong to`lhe Bruce
chapter of Canadian Parents for French. The
parent group attended the March 6 meeting
of the board to hear the committee's report.
Rhonda Fenton of Hepworth, county
spokesman for the Brucechapter of Canad-
ian Parents for French, commented the
parents were disappointed in the board's
decision to delay implementation. of the
program. She said 30 families were inter-
ested" in placing their children into the
program in September, 1984 at the grade
one level. These children will now be too old
for the early immersion program at the
kindergarten and grade one level when the
program is introduced.
Fenton told The Sentinel the parent group
felt the committee did not have all. the
material in hand they possibly should have,

The education and personnel committees
of •thelHuron County Board of Education will
bebringing a report on French Immersion
to the April meeting of theoard.
At its March 5 meeting, the board .receiv-
ed a request to set .up a French Immersion
pilot project from a group of Goderich and
area parent' calling themselves the Com-
mittee for Learning Opportunities.
There were over 30 parents in attendance
at the board meeting.
Representatives of this committee. Mark
Sully of Goderich and Paul' ' Puddy of
Lucknow made a 35 -minute presentationto
the board outlining what French Immersion
is and how they would like to see it im-
plemented in Huron County. •

"I have a problem in my own mind in
deciding to add a program when we have to
go to Hensall and watch them justify .keep=
trig their school open," said Trustee John
Jewitt of Londesboro.
'Trustee Joan Van Den Broedc of Saltford
had similar 'concerns. She said there are
four schools in addition to the three already
under review that are within a range of six
studentsof coming under a similar review.
Mrs. Van -Den Broeck also said that in
preparing the budget this year, the board's
various committees were told not to add
new programs unless they deleted costs in
other areas
"If we work on that premise, what are we
prepared to give up?' she ' ked noting the

only areas where there could be cuts include
summer school, the county science fair and
transportation.
"Are we prepared to do that?" she asked.
TrusteeM urray Mulvey of RR 1, Clifford
responded by saying he had enough faith ina
administration to come up with a report in-
dicating the pros and cons of a pilot project0
in Huron C unty..
The parents from Goderich and area are
asking, the board to set up an .early total
French Immersion program. They would
like to see a kindergarten and Grade 1
French Inunersion program start this
September.
Statistics they gathered at a public
meeting in February show 23 children could
be enrolled in such a program at the

The majority of these children would.
come from Goderich, but interest has also
been expressed by •parents of. children in
Blyth, Holmesvville and the townships of Col-
borne and Huliett. .
Mr. Sully said that while the time between
now and 'September is short, other school
boards have set up French Immersion in
that length of time.
A report by Bob McCall, superintendent of

ting a French Immersion program in one
school area at $3,843.94.
He arrived at this figure by estimating it
would cost $6,200 for such things as accom-
modation, equipment and supplies and -other
