Summer school on Increase
CLINTON - As many may remember, summer school in Huron
County this year didn't include elementary programs due to funding
cuts.
But attendance numbers were only down slightly as secondary en-
rolment increased.
Last year 103 elementary students were part of the 317 students
enrolled in summer programs.
This year there were 295 students despite the absence of the ele-
mentary programs.
Bruce Eccles, summer school principal, told the Huron County
Board of Education there was anincrease in secondary programs be-
cause of the newly introduced Grade 9 destreaming.
Students who were short of Grade 9 credits last June had to make
up the courses prior to September. That meant more summer school
programs and, for olid first time, afternoon classes to accommodate
students needing more than one credit.
Testing proposal heard
EXETER - A longstanding beef
of local fire departments anire
boards may be resolved inSe fu-
ture, town council was told Mon-
day evening.
The Exeter and Area Fire Board
has tabled a proposal from the Un-
derwriters Laboratories of Canada,
and has asked for more information
about the testing of fire emergency
equipment.
At present, insurance companies
refuse to support the use of older
fire department equipment, particu-
larly vehicles, when it reaches a
predetermined age.
A new policy from the Ontario
Fire Marshal's Office may see fire
departments opting for regular test-
ing and certification of equipment
and vehicles, rather than being
forced into outright replacement.
Old equipment isn't necessarily
dangerous or worn out, commented
reeve Bill Mickle.
"That may be true in a city where
it gets a lot of use, but in a small
town it may be as good as the day it
was bought," said Mickle.
