Motion to keep schools open Every word chosen After agreeing that alt three schools should remain open. the school study com- mittee spent the rest of Wednesday night's meeting discussing the wording of their motion. The study committee, made up of a representative from each of the three schools. and three trustees, has been looking into the problems of declining enrol- ment at Grand Bend, Kin- naird and Bosanquet schools. The committee was un- animous in its decision to maintain the status quo at all three schools. Committee chairman and board trustee Dorothy Wight said that the wording of the motion to maintain -the status quo might be the most important thing that the committee does. She said that it is up to the study com- mittee to convice the board of education to keep all three schools open. When the final draft of the motion was decided' on at 11:30 p.m.. the committee decided to make it in three parts. The first part of the motion says that after look- ing at quality education. community impact. cost im- plications and projected growth. the committee recommends that the schools be maintained for at least two more years. If at the end of two years, the enrolment has decreased below 60 percent of the per- manent rated capacity, a committee be formed to further .investigate the status of these schools. The committee ' made a point of stating that they had looked at the section entitled "Factors to be Considered" in the pamphlet put out by the board of education on "Procedures for adjusting school accommodation to meet conditions of declining enrolment in elementary schools." • In the second part of their motion. the committee said that board should consider "the elimination or signifi- cant reduction of tuition fees" for out -of -county students. This recommenda- tion was made so that students living in Huron county. but close to Grand Bend school. would be able to attend at a nominal fee. At present there are students living on the border of the village of Grand Bend, who could walk to Grand Bend school. but are bussed about 10 miles to Stephen Central school. Also in the motion was the concession that Grand Bend parents .would consider changing from a "half days" kindergarten to a "full day every 'other day'' kindergarten to solve transportatidn problems for those children living outside the village. The study committee was relieved to learn that their position of keeping all three schools open has been suported by the board ad- ministration. Superintendent of schools Doug Barber presented.a report to the study coin- carefully om- Bright's mato juice ca refu I ly mittee which had been prepared by superintendent of instruction A.R. Wells. In the report, Wells suggests that all three schools be left open. He points out that if either Grand Bend or Kinnaird were closed. the remaining two schools would be operating at capacity with no room for growth. The report said that families living in the area south of the Pinery Park known as Walker Woods may be moved from Bosan- quet school to Grand Bend. These people presently have children attending nursery school in Grand Bend. The report also suggests that children from Kettle Point might attend Kinnaird school. and -reduce the need for a portable at Woodside school in Forest, where the Kettle Point children now at- tend. However• the report says that this is "uncertain" because the tuition agree- ment was made with the Department of Indian Af- fairs. The possibility will be persued by the Native Ad- visory' Committee of the board of education. The administration set down criteria for future changes in the report. Schools should be left alone, unless kindergarten enrol- ment drops below 10 in any two out of three successive years at Grand Bend or Kin- naird. They will again con- sider closing if Grand Bend is reduced to less than a four. room school. or Kinnaird falls below 60 percent of its permanent rated capacity. The administration also backed up the study com- mittee's suggestion that the board consider the requests of families who live near Grand Bend. but arelactual- ly in Huron county. In the preamble to their report. Wells and. Barber said that the study com- mittee was formed because Grand Bend school had fallen to only 54.9 percent of their capacity. and because of a presentation made to the board by residents of Grand Bend on June 23 of last year. At that time. Wes Petch acted as a spokesman for concerned parents of Grand Bend. He asked the board to quell rumours that Grand Bend school would be closed. The adminsitration said that they couldn't' answer his questions until a study com- mittee was formed. The study committee's motion and the ad- ministration's report will be presented to the board at their meeting in Sarnia March 30. The board may vote on the motion at that time. or they may wait until the next meeting April 13, according to chairman Dorothy Wight. Pauline . Lingard of the Grand Bend SETOC (School is Essential 'to our Com- munity) group is obtaining a bus so that concerned ratepayers can travel to Sar- nia to attend the meeting March 30.
