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 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, following tO months of study into the Turn topage 4• Huron Viwill receive French immersion report in April 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. • • But some trustees questioned establishing a new program when the board is in the pro - •MCI ,{ •'4 Ao e1 cess of review ng accommodation levels at three elementary schools. . "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 9 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 • • kindergarten level and 27 children for Grade 1+ 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 ., program, estimates the cost of. implemen- ting a French Immersion program in one school area at $3,843.94.
