Embark on plans for Bill 82 Continued from front page The exception pupil covers a broad range on the spec- trum and includes not only intellectually gifted children but others with behavioral, communicational, intellec- tual or physical excep- tionalities that require placement in a special program. A special education program is based on con- tinuous evaluation of a stu- dent and will be tailored to meet the needs of the excep- tional pupil. Student ser- vices co-ordinator for the Huron Board of Education, Sheila Clarke explained that the process of establishing special programs ,for students will involve parents and educators. "Every chld will receive an education suited to his or her abilities and needs. This was formerly a decision of the board but now we will require parental permission to assess a child and paren- Cancer ride Continued from front page J.

"It will mean massive changes for the board of education and the ministry." Parents will be involved in the procedure from the start have plenty of appeal options available. Parents will be in- volved in early identifica- tion, assessment and place- ment procedures. They also have the right to request and participate in the review of the child's assessment and the right to appeal the place- ment of the pupil. In order to effect the program, the board of education will be es- tablishing committees and hiring additional staff over the next three years to meet the deadlines of Bill 82. By September of this year the board will establish a Special Education Advisory Committee consisting of three board members, representative of local asociations and a separate school representative. The Huron Board will also establish a Special Educa- tion Identification, Place- ment and Review Com- mittee consisting of at least three members, including a principal or a supervisory officer. The Huron Board is con- sidering such a committee for each school in the system with the principal acting as chairman. Other members may include the parent, the teacher of the child, or representation of the ad- minstration. A third committee, A Hard to Serve Committee, will be established at the dis- cretion of the board to deter- mine if a pupil is unable to profit from instruction due to a mental handicap or one or more additional han- dicaps. The committee would be activated at the request of the parent or prin- cipal. The committee would determine whether the pupil could benefit from instruc- tion or the board could assist the parents with proper placement 'of the child. There would be no cost to the parents for placement of a hard to serve pupil. The entire system begins with the detection of a child I Let Summertime In with Dashwood Windows CENTRALIA FARMER'S SUPPLY 228-6638 demonstrating a learning ex- ceptionality. With permis- sion of the parents, the child is referred to Student Ser- vices for diagnosis and testing will be administered. The test results and place- ment recommendations will be discussed by the school's Identification Placement and Review Committee and a personal program will be recommended for the pupil With permission of the parent, the pupil will receive a special education program. That program could result in regular classroom placement, classroom placement plus supplementary programs, placement in a special needs learning class either part- time or full-time, placement in a school for the trainable mentally retarded or referral to an outside agen- cyIf a parent disagrees with the placement of a child, they are to serve written notice of appeal to the board. Several options of appeal are open to parents. The board will have a Special Education Appeal Board consisting of members who had no prior involvement in the matter. The appeal board will make its report in writing to the parent. If the parent is disatisfied, appeal can be made to a Special Education Regional Tribunal, made up of three members appointed by the Minister of Education. Again, the local school board has no responsibility toward the organiztion or membership of the regional tribunal. The process is complex but reduced to simple terms it will mean that each child will receive an education ac- cording to their needs, and parents will be involved from initial testing to place- ment of the pupil in a specialized program. If the parent feels the program is inadequate, appeals and re- evaluation may take place. For the board, implemen- tation of the bill will require the establishment of com- mittees and the hiring of ad- ditional staff. Resource teachers will be needed for both secondary and elemen- tary schools to provide for consultation, identification, placement and liaison. Primary and senior speical learning needs class teachers will be required for McGillivray Continued from front page Wednesday's meeting: Auditors Bob Ditchfield and Peter Christiansen presented the 1980 financial statements to council and explained the various schedules. Garfield Nicholson and George Fraser presented the Parkhill Fire Department budget for 1981. McGillivray is requested to pay 18,694.00 of the total budget of 159,873.00. This represents more than twice the amount paid by McGillivray in 1980, Council did not reach an agreement with respect to this. Andy Maclaren was in attendance concerning the Official Plan amendment and the re -zoning under the Pits and Quarries Act. The deadline for re -zoning under Pits and Quarries is June 30, 1981. Building Permits totalling 164,000 were approved. Tile Drain Loan Applications totalling 180,900.00 were approved. 1 supplementary assistance and an enrichment consul- tant will provide programme development and teacher consultation. One psychologist will be hired for intellectual assess- ment for trainable retarded pupils and behavioural counselling. The board has already moved to implement the bill with the hiring of a resource teacher and slowly over the next three years, a com- prehensive special education program will unfold in the county school system. Times Advocate May 27, 1981 Page 3 Plan new fair facility 4111/All BREEDS � Continued from front page use. But the primary use would be for the fair bo.rd. The town would have a ten year agreement with the agricultural society Cameron said, because to get ministry grants, the building must be primarily for agricultural use. Rec centre administrator Don Gravett asked if the recreation committees had had any input into the building's design. The building has a dirt floor and no washroom facilities Cameron noted, since its primary purpose was agricultural usage. His committee had discussed various uses for the building. Gravett suggested a floor, for year-round roller skating, could be added. It would be a good draw for area roller skaters during the winter months. Cameron recommended the floor be looked at after the building was completed. Provisions to add a per- manent floor are in the design of the building. Board members also questioned the need for another concession booth. John Pym said the board wanted to make further use of the concession booth in the rec centre building. Bill Mickle suggested an outside window could be added to the booth to use existing facilities rather than duplicating services. The reasoning for a new booth was for it to be central to activities on the playing fields and the fair activities. Cameron said only a small building was planned with washrooms and some equipment storage area. Cameron said the board could plan to use the baseball diamonds, but he stressed that nothing should be done to the fields that would set back plans the committee had made to do the job properly. Carolyn Merner reported the finance committee had looked at last year's monthly records. She said the centre was doing well compared to 1980 figures. Mickle said hall rental was well within line of last year's data and roller skating revenues are up. He said utilities was one area of cost increases, but the increases were in line with the budget. Anne Prout reminded the board that Senior Citizen's Week was coming up soon and the program committee could plan an afternoon of activities for the area's seniors. - — - ..- Gravett said he had looked into having the public school put on a talent show, or have the choir sing as an activity in conjunction with the rec centre. Chairman Jerry MacLean suggest having a florist give a seminar on plants and flowers at the rec centre. The board should do more for the seniors said board member Bruce Shaw. He said activities could be planned for Canada Week also. He said the town would probably provide additional funding if the board had a program arranged for Canada Week. The facilities committee arranged for a floor scrubber to be demon- strated. Committee chairman John Pym was given the go-ahead to arrange the purchase of the floor scrubber if it is suitable.
