possible French immersion
expansion at seven area schools
Stew Stater
As expected, the Avon
Maitland District School
Board will go ahead with a
preliminary registration
for possible expansions to
French Immersion, out-
side the existing single -
site program at Bedford
Public School in Stratford.
At a regular meeting
Tuesday, Oct. 25, trustees
approved a plan to
gauge interest in the
expansion of French
Immersion to St.
Marys, Exeter,
Goderich, Clinton,
Wingham, Mitchell and
Listowel.
Prospective regis-
trants will be sought
for entry into the pro-
gram in September,
2006, at the Grade 1
and Grade 2 levels.
According to a report
delivered to trustees,
"should 21 or more reg-
istrations (across the
two grade levels) be
received for a (commu-
nity), staff will com-
plete an analysis of the
impact of implementa-
tion of a French
Immersion program."
The report cautions,
however, that "a regis-
tration of 21 students
will not guarantee that
a program will run."
Any recommenda-
tions for French
Immersion expansion
will be brought to
trustees on Feb. 14,
2006.
An accompanying
report will identify
staffing costs, space
. issues, the impact on
schools from which
prospective students
would transfer, the pre-
dicted viability of the
program, and possible
transportation issues.
Education director
Geoff Williams would
not say exactly where
possible programs will
be located, but the pro-
jected site of each pro-
gram will be identified
on the Dec. 5-9 regis-
tration form.
"Staff preference will
be for Kindergarten -to -
Grade 8 schools and
also for schools that are in
towns that have high
schools, in order to take
advantage of natural
transportation routes," he
said.
The registration form
will also "indicate that
parents should consult
their child's current
teacher regarding the suit-
ability of a French
Immersion program for
their child."

JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED
NON
BASEMENT
One -level living makes this cosy design especially appealing
for retirees downsizing from a family home. An unfinished
basement provides valuable space for storage or hobbies. The
exterior is enhanced stone pillars on each side of the covered
entry. The double garage opens to the side and has a decorative
boxed window for added street appeal. Inside, nine -foot
ceilings and a 12 -foot -high foyer make each room in this
1,650 -square -foot plan feel larger. A full wall of windows at
the back of the house ensures this open informal area will
always be bright and cheerful.
