Board gets good price for school buses
The Huron County Board of Edu
cation was offered a good price for
the sale of three buses, the manage
ment committee reported at the
Sept. 2 meeting.
It was recommended that the
board accept the offer for $3,900
total as a price of $700 to $900
each is common at auctions.*♦*
Hullett Twp. council passed a
resolution to extend the use and
maintenance agreement for the ball
diamond next to Hullett Central
Public School, for 25 years.♦♦♦
A number of Huron County stu
dents, both past and present, spent
the summer developing, designing
and creating an interactive CD-
Rom which would be a component
of the OAC history course.
Jim Moore, past principal of
Seaforth District High School
where the project was undertaken
and acting assistant to the superin
tendent of schools, said the CD-
Rom "is a teaching tool, not a
replacement. We have never seen
anything like it. It is literally with
out parallel."
SDHS staff Greg Sherwood and
Laurie Hazzard, along with some of
the involved students explained and
demonstrate the CD to trustees.
The project is nearing comple
tion.
♦♦♦
Director of Education Paul Car
roll briefly discussed the new
provincial report cards saying the
aim is to ensure parents know early
if their children are falling behind.
The only concern expressed by
Carroll was the lack of detail on the
report cards, though he said, this
may come in the future as it devel
ops.
"I was disappointed because it is
narrower (in its evaluations) than I
would like too see as a profession
al," said Carroll. "We have to show
what is in their heads and hearts
and how they work."
A workshop was held in Clinton
on July 20, to teach area teachers
about the new Ontario curriculum.
There was a large turnout with
representatives from Huron-Perth
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board and Perth, Oxford, Elgin,
London, Middlesex, Bruce, Grey,
Grey-Bruce, Kenora and Huron
County school boards.
Those trained will share their
knowledge with their respective
boards and peers.♦♦♦
Trustees offered support to a res
olution by the Halton Board of
Education asking the province to
include an education referendum on
the ballot in the next election.
The referendum would ask resi
dents their opinion on a dual school
system (separate and public), con
sidering the tremendous cost sav
ings which could be generated by
one system only.♦♦♦
A special needs class from South
Huron District High School,
Exeter, earned third place in the
special awards category when they
took part in a yacht race on the
internet with students from around
the world.♦♦♦
Trustees supported a motion
from the Essex County school
board, which asks the federal gov
ernment to pass and/or amend leg
islation and negotiate agreements
so that copying in schools for use
as learning material not be subject
to copyright fees.
Currently the HCBE pays about
$34,000 annually. Of that total,
approximately $12,000 goes to for
eign publishers, including $2,880
to the United States.
The U.S. has an exemption from
paying copying fees for schools.
The resolution asks for similar
exemptions in Canada.
To help the environment
the Jangs switched from horse
power to pedal power.
Stan and Elizabeth Jang decided that the environmental cost of
dnving their car every day was too high. Now they commute in
harmony with the environment - on a tandem bicycle.
They save money and enjoy the exercise. When you realize that
up to % of the pollutants that combine to form smog can come
from cars and light trucks, it's easy to understand why they
prefer environmentally-friendlier forms of transportation.
Reducing your car use is a
down-to-earth choice that can help turn your community into
one of Canada’s healthy neighbourhoods. When we each do
our part to help the environment, we can all breathe easier.
