Middlesex schools expand computers The Middlesex County Board of Education has developed plans for ex- panding its computer education pro- grams and for improving computer technology in its work. The plans are in a recently released report of an eleven -month-long study. The study was:carried out by an advisory com- mittee composed of representatives from across .the system under the chairmanship of Jim DeZorzi, Assis- tant to the Board's Superintendent of Business. Education Ministry guidelines say that today's students must be com- puter literate and that the ratio of students to computers should be 10 to 1. This will enable students to use computers in writing, composing, designing, analyzing, and in other ex- tensions of original thought. At pre- sent, the ratio in the elementary schools is 82 to 1 and in the secondary schools it is 112 to 1. While the Board, has supplied schools with computers, many more have been provided by home and school associations, service clubs and other • community groups and in- dividuals. Some schools have raised funds. to buy their own. To meet the Ministry's re- quirements, and to carefully in- tegrate the expansion of computer programs, the advisory committee's repot t recommends establishment of five ;committees, one of each of the following areas: elementary schools, secoedary schools, libraries, staff training, and the administration of- fice.tEach committee would examine curriculum, software requirements. training implications, and other aspects of the program. The elementary 'program, estimated to cost about $500,000, would reduce the student/computer ratio from 82:1 to 19:1. The commit- tee recommends use of Commodore 64 in schools and homes and because of the variety of inexpensive software available. Phased expansion is recommended to ease the impact on the tax rate. For the secondary schools, the com- mittee recommends IBM-PC com- patible hardware since the IBM-PC has been improved by the Ministry of Education. It also recommends that the secondary program be ac- celerated to ensure adequate access to equipment by students enrolled in computer studies in September 1986. The IBM-PC compatible hardware is also. recommended for libraries to assist students with research, to maintain records, and to produce bibliographies. At the Board's administration of- fice, it is planned to replace the pre- sent computer, acquired in 1978, and to expand word processing and telecommunication services. Within five years, it is envisaged that much of the routine data now transmitted by courier and telephone will be handled by high-speed data links bet- ween the central office and schools. Total cost of the expansion program is estimated to be $2.2 million, of which $L7 million would be for equip- ment used by students or providing service to students. The advisory committee's report containing the recommendations has been referred to the Board's ad- ministration and finance committee. It is expected that a proposal on finan- cing will be presented to the Board at its meeting on February 17. .'

Board and agencies must work together described as naving social or emo- tional exceptionalities. There are another 75 students who are involved in guidance counselling support for matters of personal, family or social need, plus, said Carroll, another 39 students are in school while under some kind of supervisory or custody order of Family and Children Services. These members, said the superintendent, don't include the students in the secondary school at Bluewater centre. John Penn, director of Family and Children Services, said positive leadership, such as that being shown by the school board is beneficial. It is providing "complex solutions" to "complex problems", he said. "So we can better serve the children of Huron County," said Penn. Don Keillor, of the Centres for Children and Youth, agreed. His agency differs from the other because it provides child focused family counselling. Keillor said an earlier meeting of his staff, Mr. Penn's staff and teachers in special edugation did more good than any other kind of meeting. He would like to see more of those get togethers because often the workers are dealing with the same children. "As bleak and depressing as the caseload figures might be," said Carroll, "They are a small percen- tage of the total school (two percent) population of approximately 10,000 pupils, yet it is a percentage that is growing and consuming an increasing amount of time." Social agencies, particularily those dealing with children, have to learn to work together. "The challenge of working together - not always an easy task - is one we are learning to address," said superintendent of education Paul Carroll. Carroll was speaking at the February session of the Huron Coun- ty board of education. He was in- troducing the heads of two social agencies of which he closely works - Huron and Perth Centres for Children and Youth and the Huron Family and Children's Services. '.The atter of independence in sdrving the 'education' needs of cer- tain pupils in the school population is no longer an option for us to choose," Carroll told the trustees. The superintendent pointed out that as of February 3, there are 75 students STEPHEN PANCAKE SERVERS — Parents Betty Toornstra and Donna ▪ lovie dish up pancakes for Tuesday's dinner at Stephen Central School. ti • and teacher Linda:Deelstra T -A photo RFC LEAGUE STANDINGS Colonial Hotel Young/Restless Outlaws Algoma Whalers Pfaff Exeter inn W L T Pt 13 3 4 30 13 5 2 28 12 7 2 26 10 9 2 22 7 10 3 17 7 12 1 15 2 18 0 4 Laiish CER SO TY, ACCOUNTANT -PUBLIC orris omuth Chartered Accountants P.O.
