Separate board against amalgamation BY MICHELE GRN ENE SSP News Staff Local separate school board trustees don't want the provin- cial government to impose school board amalgamation. To avoid it, they want to meet with surrounding separate school boards to discuss ways of sharing services and reduc- ing costs. Trustees passed a motion at the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board meeting on Dec. 11 to investigate the possibility of discussing the issue with other boards and eventually forming a Catholic Education Services Co-op. Dr. James Brown, director of education, said the educa- tion service co-op means boards could share a curricu- lum department, consultants or human resources. "These are areas, we argue, we can't share with the public schools. Why can't we share it with Catholic schools?" he said. He explained sharing these areas with public school boards could impinge on the "Catholicity" of the separate schools. The local separate boards already share busing and other services with both the Perth County Board of Education and the Huron County Board of Education. Dr. Brown said it might he possible to show the boards are already achiev- ing savings without amalgama- tion. A meeting of the directors of education from the London - Middlesex, Oxford, Elgin and the Huron -Perth separate school boards has been set for this week to discuss the con- cept. If the directors feel the sharing is possible, a January meeting will set planned for trustees to further discuss the idea. "Time is of the essence because changes are coming. If you want to control your future, you have to act and be proactive," he said. The John Sweeney report, commissioned by the provin- cial government, recommend- ed the Huron -Perth separate board be amalgamated with the Dec. 13 Expositor Exposed!

However, Dr. Brown said trustees feel working with the neighboring boards in the London area is a better option. The Grey -Bruce board belongs to the Hamilton dio- cese while the Huron -Perth, London -Middlesex, Oxford and Elgin boards belong to the London diocese. "That structure is already in , place in the Catholic community. We think our school board organization should follow that pattern," he said. Distance is a big factor when it comes to working with the Grey -Bruce hoards. Dr. Brown said it is easier to drive south than north. Also, the road patterns lead to Hamilton, not to this area, which makes travelling there complicated. Dr. Brown said these argu- ments were sent to Sweeney for his consideration.
