The Huron Expositor, 1998-03-25, Page 22 -TME HURON EXPOSITOR, March 4, 111!(1 No decision until at least March 10 Board office options presented, decision now up to Avon Maitland trustees BY TRISH WILKINSON CLINTON - For weeks, the Avon Maitland District School Board has been flood- ed with facts, figures and debates over where its new headquarters should be locat- ed. Now, it's up to trustees to make a decision. Trustees Colleen Schenk and Leslie Wood presented their headquarters site review work group information report to hoard members last Tuesday night, outlining what they consider to he the local public school board's most viable options. They said much of the recent research has been on a multi -site option which would include filling extra space at four or five different schools with administration, while enhancing programs for the students. The trustees elaborated on "option B" in their report, which includes using Seaforth District High School (SDHS), Central Huron Secondary School (CHSS), Stratford Northwestern and Stratford Central schools. However, since the goal is to enhance the schools as well as making room for administration, the report adds that "Mitchell District High School may wish to be included in this approach". "The emphasis...has been to create an advantage for the school by fitting an adminis- trative function within the school, not on top of it," the report states. Janet Baird -Jackson, the superintendent of business, outlined the estimated costs involved in renovating schools for different adminis- tration centres at about $585,354. However, she added that with the sale of the two non -instructional build- ings in Stratford, the costs would workout to only about a $5,300 difference. VARIOUS OPTIONS Trustees Schenk and Wood also presented the hoard information and data on "option A", or single site. They noted that Stratford, Clinton and Seaforth were all locations that could be con- sidered to individually house the board office. Schenk stated one of these options "appears to be occu- pying a major portion of Seaforth District High School following its closure for use as a secondary school." "If the closure option were to be taken, the affected stu- dents would have access to a more complete course calen- dar in a fashion that can be more easily timetabled at Central Huron Secondary School," Schenk read. "The economic spin offs for the Seaforth community would ultimately be positive, should the office relocate to that community." The final option in the administration centre study is listed as a two-year interim solution for the board. The report states this would include using CHSS in Clinton and Britannia Street in Stratford as well as finding 5,070 square feet of other satellite office space in the district.
