AMDSB aiming to be more inclusive Provincial grants provided to help
for disabled Students communities implement water

School Board (AMDSB) is
continuing its work to ensure
students with disabilities have
a smooth transition partici-
pating in regular classrooms.
Currently, AMDSB has 20
self-contained classes for stu-
dents with development dis-
abilities and mild -intellectual
disabilities.
The board is moving
towards a more inclusive
model for students with spe-
cial needs.
AMDSB superintendent of
education Peggy Blair said,
"We are trying to include
more students into the regu-
lar classroom."
Although that is nothing
new, Blair said they want to
expand the practice further.
"We want them to feel that
they are part of the broader
school community."
Teachers will take the lead
responsibility of developing
and implementing
programming.
Aiding them will be a

"'the teachers have a dorso a great job.
'Ibis is a partnership between the teach-
ers and the coaches;' Blair said.
Blair defined the partnership as "col-
laborative inquiry':
"They co -pian, act out the plan
together and access it together," Blair
said.
She called it a "very fluid, flexible pro-
gram" that is part of the ongoing
process.
Blair said the benefits of inclusion
include a greater number of peers and
connections for students with special
needs.
She added that it also helps AMDSB
prepare those students for life after
school.
"We have to look at where they are
going after our system," she said, noting
the unemployment rate for people with
disabilities is higher than most and inclu-
sion helps therm learn that "everyone can
contribute':
Blair said it also teaches other students
to learn about empathy and other posi-
tive character traits by interacting with
those with disabilities.

Area municipalities will divvy up $1.4
million in provincial grant funding to
help protect rural drinking water
sources.
The Ministry of the Environment fund-
ing for 29 municipalities in the region is
port of a $13.5 million commitment over
the next three years to help support
small, rural municipalities implement
their source protection plans.
The grants range from $18,000 to
$1(x),000.
Source protection planning was a rec-
ommendation of the Walkerton Inquiry.
In 2000, seven people (lied and more
than 2,000 became sick after drinking
contaminated water supplied by the
Walkerton Drinking Water System.
"We are taking care with source -to -tap
protection of drinking water so we never
have another Walkerton," said Environ-
ment Minister Jim Bradley in a news
release.
Municipalities are taking steps to pro-
tect wellhead areas and water intake
zones such as upgrading fuel tanks to
provide more protective spill contain-
ment and engineering stream banks to
protect water from run-off and erosion.
Municipalities will also develop edu-
cation and outreach programs about
threats to their local drinking water sup-
plies and best practices for dealing with
these threats.
Some of the local municipalities
receiving funding include:
• City of Sarnia - $45,247
• County of Lambton - $20,737
• Chatham -Kent - $75,000
• Plympton-Wyoming - $39,807
•'lbwnship of St. Clair - $45,000
• Village of Point Edward - $30,0(0
Municipalities may be eligible for an
additional $15,000 if they collaborate
with other nu►nicipalities.
