The Catholic Scheel Board chose to huild a now facility rather than subject their stu- dents to the hostile climate that was brewing before they even decided to share Central Huron. These rural communities have been competitive rivals in sports. business. every aspect of their community's life. With the alarming increase in violence amongst our young people, as is cap- tured on news headlines, i cannot understand how the school hoard can proceed with a decision that is increasing the potential for a deep seated hostility to grow into a nasty climate from which violence could erupt. 1 expect my children to attend a school whcrc they feel safe, comfortable and secure. where they feel confi- dent accessing every opportu- nity available to succeed. . I'm in favour of curtailing carcl.;ss use of taxi aycr money to purchase or ,build a new building for the r.oard office. i sincerely hope hoard departments can he housed in available space at the many schools. Let's not turn our back, on the money spent renovating Central Huron to house the board office as well as the money spent making Seaforth High School a phys- ically challenged friendly facility and rcpairi,tg thc gymnasium wall this past fall. Oa; school is a valued asset to n11r community outside school hours. It is used for a church congregation to wor- ship in. a hall for community concerts, craft sales, recre. ational sports weekly - to name a few events. If out school was turned into a board office. would it house thc entire hoard and would we be guaranteed that it would remain here indefi- nitely or is this only a handaid solution with elimi- nation of our school as its top priority?
