HCBE discusses de-twinning Walton, Seaforth
Continued from page 6
*****
The executive committee of the
HCBE discussed the de-twinning
of Walton P.S. and Seaforth P.S. At
present, the principal for the two
schools must split his time between
them.
The committee predicted further
expansion at Walton P.S., which
has more room for growth, possibly
to include grade four and five.
This move would eliminate the
need for a capital expansion at
Seaforth. "It is the best way to
manage the space problem."
The principal for the two schools
will have to begin treating the two
as separate schools and Walton
would eventually get its own prin-
cipal instead of only a vice-princi-
pal, says Trustee Allan Carter of
the executive committee.
*****
The HCBE has offered to work
in partnership with the Huron
County Library Board wherever
mutual benefits could be derived
for both systems.
The board is distributing Cus-
tomer Feedback pamphlets to the
parents and community to help
establish their aim for a "total qual-
ity program."
The board is trying to "build
excellence in the Huron County
Public Education System and to
encourage parent and community
feedback into the problem-solving
process," Mr. Carroll says.
Trustee Doug Garniss of Morris
and Tumberty Twps. says he would
like to see more student involve-
ment but Mr. Carroll said the
method for student input had yet to
be discussed with the executive
committee and the school princi-
pals.
*a***
Walton P.S. is on the top four
priorities list of Huron County
schools to receive non-growth
funding.
This funding refers to building
additions other than classrooms.
Walton is to receive a general
purpose room and a gym.

In a director's information report
presented at the Nov. 1 meeting of
the HCBE, it was stated that Huron
County taxpayers are contributing
below the provincial average of tax
dollars towards education.

Colbome Township Council held
its regular bi-monthly meeting
Nov. 2 at the Colborne Township
Community Hall.
Council authorized and approved
the payment of the bills and
accounts for the month of October
in the total amount of $90,637.58
as supported by the appropriate
invoices.
A bylaw was passed designating
the Menesetung Bridge as a
Heritage Property. This
designation is being made in
conjunction with the Town of
Goderich.
Council enacted a bylaw to
prohibit the placing of non-
disposable waste in municipal
recycling bins and to prohibit the
placing of any garbage on a
municipal road allowance or
bridge. The bylaw was necessary
due to the increased amount of
garbage being found in the
township's recycling bins and also
along the township roadways.
Persons found disposing of garbage
improperly can be charged under
this bylaw and if found guilty by a
court of law, they can be fined.
The road superintendent was
authorized to invite quotes for the
crushing and stockpiling of 10,000
cubic yards of granular "A" in the
township pit.
Clerk John Stewart was
authorized to attend the AMCTO
percent of property taxes towards
education when the provincial aver-
age is 55.2 percent.
If the county took 55.2 percent
for education, the average portion
would be $525 instead of $465. this
would have brought in an addition-
al $1,505,640.

A report on the actual expenditure
as of Oct. 31, was presented .
Overall, the expenditures are run-
ning slightly below budget with
overspending in only a few areas,
says business administrator, Janet
Baird-Jackson.
The one sector which is nearing
budget level is plant operation and
maintenance in the elementary
schools. Director Paul Carroll
explained that repair expenses must
be done regardless of a set budget.
In all three sectors, elementary,
