Huron County Board of Education's insurers presented an advance pay- _ ment of $500,000 to Superintendent of Operations Paul Carroll at the Oc- tober meeting of the board in Clinton - to cover restoration and redecoration of two county schools after they were damAged by fire late last summer. s Representatives of the Frank Cowan Company also advised the hoard provisions have been made to set aside $1.7 million for cleanup and repairs to Exeter Public School and Usborne Central School near Exeter. No firm estimate of total damages to the schools was given. however. he board learned that six primary classrooms and the gymnasium at Exeter Public School will be occupied again by October 16. The library and staff room will be in use again about 10 days later. It is not known just how long it will be before the remainder of the Exeter school is restored and ready for use by the students. Much of the work has included cleaning and deodorizing salvaged books and egt>rpment. An desks at Ex- etelr school with -the exception of those in one classrcbm were salvaged and must be cleaned and deodorized before refinishing. Texts and library books have•their covers removed and their edges shav- ed to remove the portions most damaged M fire, smoke and water, and after tie deodorizing process are rebound it new covers. At Usbo'ne school, all the cleaning and deodorizing has been completed. - it is expected the contractor will be completely finished with repairs and all the students will be back in the school vithin a few weeks.

Times -Advocate, October 21 1987 Page 1 1 A Co-op ed in all county schools Linda McKenzie says that co- operative education expands the walls of the classroom into.the con- munity and offers greater resources and better 'opportunities to Huron County high school students. it may not be loo surprising that the co -o rdinator o' co-operative education for Iluron County is excited about the program which now encompasses all of the county's five high schools. But from a modest beginning •tyin years ago when 12 South Huron District Iligh School students were in- volved in co-operative education pro- grams at Exeter area businesses, to this year with 2-14 students placed all across Huron County, the program has held some surprises for VIMINIMINFOMMW McKenzie. She has seen employers become "big brothers" to the co-operative students at their locatiops with students acquiring a level .of assurance and responsibility in the workplace that can only be describ- ed as remarkable. "We do not send out just our very best students•" said McKenzie "We decided early in the pro=gram that would not be the way to go." She said the Students come from a wide range of abilities and interests. Last year, only three out of 100 who were involved in work -experiences in Huron County were rejected by employers. . . "To see the changes that take place OONSOSMOROOM County education The Education Committee of the Huron County Board of Education has agreed to give further study 10 a re- quest from the Anglican Church of ('ariada for an interfaith curriculum to be developed for Ontario schools, • The Anglican Church wants a pilot project to be approved where profes- sionally trained teachers at various levels of the public -school system would teach a course about all the world's religions. They say it is a "logical step" now that increased fun- ding for separate schools has been ap- proved by the Supreme Court of Canada. "We believe that such a. program would help all students toward an in- creased understanding and respect for all faiths, and prevent further fragmentation of public education." the letter from the Anglican Church states. Director of Education Bob Allan drew trustees' attention to the fact that seven senior level secondary students who required upgrading for a credit related to graduation, attend- ed the new tutorial programoat the Huron County Board of Education's summer school in Clinton during Ju- ly. Six of these students completed the program and have earned their credit. He said the impetus for the pro- gram which improves the school board's ability to serve students in Huron who require additional instruc- tion. came directly through county trustees who asked for it. j ) Ever wonder where the money goes at the Huron County Board of Education? A report to the board at the October meeting from Mike Rau, plant manager, showed total expenditures of $1,408,875 for renovation and repairs in 1987.

He said a show of support is vital. The program is mounted under the leadership of Terry Johnston and alt county high schools are involved. The emphasis will be on making students aware of all the implications of drug .and -alcohol -use and abuse. Community support is being sought by the teacher organizers to bring in speakers and purchase appropriate resource material (pamphlets. posters etc. ) for use in asspciation with the work. Renal!

"They go out in September with trepidation: they finish in June with confidence.'; The students- in the program -are from Grade 12 for the mast part. and work a three-hou-r shill every second day - morning or afternoon - at a loca- tion pre -arranged between the employer and the student through the school. The work experience earns a credit for the student at school. and provides the student with'valuable on- the-job training at a task related to the student's aptitude and interests. There is no payment to the student by the employer who provides free l rain- ing for the student. • Students who have been through the program say it is excellent They find they haveeither been able to get a job more. easily because of the training. or they have been accepted into post- - secondary school courses more readi- ly because of their experience. "Wire having no trouble getting placements for our students." says McKenzie who claims there is a grow- ing list of employers who would take students if they were available. • "It's a tribute to our community. says McKenzie. - Some expanded opportunities are available this year to students who qualify.
