THE HURON EXPO$ITO11. $IrT1VNER 23. 1 SIS -1 3 TEMPORARY OFFICE - The office and teacher's lounge have temporarily been moved into the gym after flooding at Seaforth Public School on the weekend. ' Report recommends holistic approach CONTINUED from Page 1. 130 square feet for each sec- ondary student," the report notes. Because most schools in the Avon -Maitland system arc more than two decades old, they require considerable basic expenditure for repair and renewal. "Specifically, 86 per cent of our elementary buildings are in excess of 20 years old,.and 95 per ccnt of our secondary school buildings arc in excess of 20 years old," the report states. "We arc faced with the need to maintain buildings with school renewal funding that is only 46 per cent of what the board is currently spend-, ing on maintenance. This suggests that, to reduce oper- ating costs, those buildings in greatest need of maintenance and repair he considered for potential closure." REDUCE WISELY Thc directors note the board has a responsibility to man- age its resources wisely, to reduce surplus pupil spaces or create new ones, as the need arises, and to "imple- ment changes in, a way that maximizes learning and opti- mizes the use of space." Schools will ,tart falling. apart and get dirtier under currcnt funding arrange- ments, the report indicates, and if thc board's revenue is further reduced in 1999 - Herbs on ho Seaforth and District Horticult F l; Sacje dfnet ept. 9 at'Norahsrde Dnitcd Church. President Eleanor Horst welcomed everyone. Roll call was answered by 27 members. Horst intro- duced guest speaker Rhea Hamilton -Seeger who talked on cooking with herbs. She made tca biscuits containing sage, dill and celery seed and also a tomato and onion salad with fresh basil. We all tasted it. Minutes of thc June meet- ing wcrc read and treasurer's report given. 2000, as has been indicated by the provincial education ministry , "maintaining excess capacity will become even more problematic." "1t is worth reiterating that the Pcrth and Huron hoards were among the lowest spending public boards (and that the Avon Maitland board is now the lowest.spending) and that they built low bud- get, functional space as dol- lars allowed," according to the director's report. "We have been and contin- ue to he proud of our stan- dards for cleanliness, health and safety and on-going facility maintenance. "It is also clear that the cur- rent level of funding will not allow us to maintain adequate levels of cleanliness, health and safety if .we attempt to keep schools open which exceed the ministry stan- dard." Rathcr than retaining the current system of distinct public and high schools. the directors say they have taken a more "holistic or overview approach which looks at ele- mentary and secondary square footage together, con- siders program and strategic locations, net building repair 'and maintenance costs, pro- tection of singlF-school com- munities, as well as the enrollment. boundary alter- ations and ensuing trans- portation requirements of the • rticulture soc The president reported Jessica Burgess will represent our society as our contestant for thc Ambassador of thc upcoming Seaforth Fair. It was reported the annual flower show was cancelled due to dry weather. Arthur Horst reporting for civic improvement said bar- rels had been planted at thc Harpuncey corner for the first time. It was decided that we will invite other societies to our October meeting. Nancy Kale reported we would have a booth at Cidcrfest in numbers -driven approach." HOLISTIC APPROACH A key advantage of the holistic approach is that it generates fiscal efficiencies, the directors maintain. It "pools the elementary and secondary space in the district into one accommoda- tion resource and therefore allows the choice of the best located, best suited and most - economical buildings for stu- dent use. "This leads to the opportu- nity to convert secondary space into elementary space (and vice versa as appropri- ate) in the hest interests of students. and their learning environment. This re -location of space provides for many elementary pupils new or upgraded facilities such as libraries. cafeterias, gymnasi- ums, playing fields, and so on." Significantly reducing the operating capacity of a board "is a mammoth task" -and closing schools "is the most difficult task a school hoard can make," the report con - eludes. "Given that the task and the decision arc eventually inevitable. the recommenda- tion 'of this report must he based on hard, unhiatscd data...(according to hoard policy) ... in the best interests of the students of the district overall." iety's agenda Egmondville on Sept. 27, and plants, baking+x94 produce:/ aft wanted. 1-1-1. „a.
