Keller A small but determined group of music enthusiasts from the Clinton area stood their ground in a crowded board of education chambers Monday afternoon to present a petition bearing 460 signatures of taxpayers who want a credit course in instrumental music included on the Central Huron Secon- dary School curriculum for 1981-82 The delegation showed that combining 28 students from CHSS's feeder schools coming into the system this fall. and 17 students already enrolled at CHSS, there are a total of 45 students who want First Year instrumen- tal rruisic for the ttekt school near.• An extra -curricular music course is in operation at CHSS now and working well. Students arrive early each day for classes via personal transportation, and out-of- town students are able to go home by bus. Board members who were - on the education -personnel committee had met with members of the delegation earlier. At that meeting, a recommendation was hammered out whereby a credit instrumental music course could be provided at the morning hour, through the auspices of the night school program. To qualify for night school funding, the course must be offered outside normal school hours and be available to students from the general public. That recommendation was approved at Monday's regular board session, along with an amendment made by Trustee Joan Vanden Broeck at the meeting. That amendment gives ap- proval in principle to the es- tablishment of a music credit course at CHSS in the fall of 1 98 2, pending favorable reaction from feasibility studies under- taken by a committee com- posed of parents and board members who are also ser- ving on the education - personnel committee. A recorded vote showed that only Trustee Frank Falconer was opposed to the recommendation.

It was pointed out that other community school projects have been funded in this manner at no extra cost to Huron County taxpayers. . A schedule for professional development days for Huron County school teachers was ap- proved by board members this week. Trustee John Goddard suggested that more professional development days be scheduled for Satur- days so that students could stay in the classroom on regular school days. He learned that three professional development days this year were held on Saturdays and more weekend events are planned for the future. Besides that. more co- operation with teachers in neighboring counties will be encouraged to take advan- tage of top flight speakers and developmental aids for Huron teachers. • A resolution was approved by the Huron County Board of Education Monday requir- ing that one local county board of health member be appointed from among the members of the local school board. This would require an amendment to the Public Health Act. It is felt that since a major part of the work of the board of health is providing health services to schools, a school trustee should serve on the board of health. A similar recommenda- tion that a trustee serve on the county planning board was not approved. • Board members gave their approval for provision for the purchase of six new 60 - passenger buses this year. Board policy requires that every year. one-seventh of the fleet of 43 buses be replaced so that the entire fleet is replaced on a seven year cycle. A sum of $150,000 will be set aside for the purchase of buses. • Travel allowances for Huron County Board of Education employees have been increased effective January 1, 1981. Rates went to 16 cents per kilometer or 25.7 cents per mile. • Huron County schools will be used as evacuation cen- tres for senior citizens in the event of a major disaster. Schools involved are Brussels public school, Ex- eter high school, Goderich high school, Seaforth public school and Wingham high school. This would effectively provide emergency housing for seniors living in Huron County Housing Authority premises should a disaster occur in any area. • A sum of money sufficient to repaint one-seventh of the interior area of all schools and one-fifth of the exterior areas of all schools was ap- proved by the board of education Monday. The annual repainting program would ensure that all schools would be main- tained on a regular basis. Details of this year's pain- ting program will be releas- ed later.
