Stew Slater
School closure will not be up for discus-
sion "in the near future" at the Huron -

He explained a new policyhad been writ-
ten about four years ago, before decisions to
dose schools in Hesson and Kingsbridge,
but additional changes became necessary
when the province released new accommo-
dation review guidelines,
"Most of this stuff was already embedded
in our policy," Langan said. But the
province's guidelines now require very pre-
cise timelines, including particular paints
the public must be informed or consulted.

The education director said there'll be a
new valuation report in the rwised policy.
A generic template for assessing the
value of a school to its surrounding com-
munity was included in Langan's report,
but he noted it will be up to the so-called
Accommodation Review Committees
(ARCS) to decide exactly how this
process will unfold.

- will also be altered slightly to comply
with the new provincial guidelines.
Under the revised board policy, which
was approved unanimously, the road
toward potential school closure would
begin with an accommodation report
from administrative staff in September.
This would identify potential troubles,
and suggest potential remedies.
And according to Langan, that's not
likely to happen soon.
