Many trustees expressed interest in the alternative program, although few details have been released. "I'm glad there has been time to explore the alternative [to junior kindergarten), " said Trustee Philip Baumgarten. He said implementing junior kin- dergarten is one way of increasing the schools' enrolment and provin- cial funding, which is based on the number of students. But Chairperson Abby Arm- strong said she "can't implement a program to reserve some bricks." She said she sees the early years learning •program as a way to im- prove literacy for all students. Jun- ior kindergarten is a voluntary pro- gram so not all students will benefit from it, she said. "I'm not comfortable closing one door without knowing what's be- hind it," said Trustee Leslie Wood, who is also interested in the early learning opportunities grant. She also said the board learned a lesson itself over this issue which is "not to jump the gun." On the issue of equity, she pointed out that everything in the two former boards can't be amalgamated by Sept. 1. Junior kindergarten will be im- plemented this fall in Anne Hatha- way, Avon, Bedford, Romeo, Fal- staff, Hamiet/Portia, in Stratford; Listowel Central, Listowel East - dale, Milverton, Mitchell, St. Mar- ys 'Central, Shakespeare and.
