March Break for
two weeks
At Monday night's meeting of the
I luron-Perth Roman Catholic Separ-
ate School Board, John McCauley,
superintendent, said that surveys,
which were sent out in May, from
two schools have not yet been
received by the board so the final
results have not yet been tabulated.
He said complete results will be
available at the board's next meet-
ing in June.
The Perth County Board of
Education is also interested in
seeing the results of the survey. The
public board voted to stay with a
one-week March Break next year.
However, that decision means that
the Perth board, the separate board,
and the Huron County Board of
Education won't have the same
school year calendars.
"We've' come closer than ever
before in aligning with us with the
other two boards," said McCauley,
Representatives from the three
boards meet as the Huron -Perth
Joint School Year Calendar Com-
mittee. Its goal is to plan as many
professional development days and
holidays at the same time.
"We continue to meet. The parties
are aware of the goal. We'll go
back to our groups and try to get
more flexibility for the following
year," he said.
Comments on the survey that
favored the two-week break
included: P.A. days prior to school
year are more beneficial in a block,
laughter and joy as we have.
Dorothy said, "We haven't a reason
in the world to complain!" Dorothy
was introduced by Eleanor Smith
and thanked by Ralph Smith.
Business meeting continued with
secretary and treasurer's report
given by Eleanor Smith. Goodwill -
