Board allows outside students
By Susan White
Catholic students who apply to attend
one of the Huron -Perth separate school
board's 19 schools will be accepted and
provided with transportation, even though
they may live outside an area organized for
the direction of taxes to the system,
trustees decided Monday night.
The policy was adopted on the recom-
mendation of the board's policy and by-law
committee, chaired by trustee Howard
Shantz of Stratford.
Goderich trustee Vince Young com-
mented that the policy was rather broad.
"We would possibly have to travel 15 miles
in one direction to pick up one student."
Business administrator Jack Lane,
agreed that this was possible in some areas
of the two counties but he suggested that
each case could be . judged on its own
merits. He said a brochure that the board
mean we would go along with a blank
cheque."
Hill continued "I think the ministry is
• making sincere attempts to update
legislation. There may be just cause for
delay.
Chairman Wilfred Shortreed commented,
`,Legislation is coming down some
Tuesday. Its been coming for three oriour
years."
The board decided Monday to set up an
ad hoc committee to investigate the im-
plications of the proposed power
generating stations for Huron.
Discussion took place after receiving a
brief from the Huron Power Plant Com-
mittee's chairman, Adrian Vos.
Mrs. Dorothy Wallace was the first to
speak saying, "This is a serious matter.
We should be taking a stand on it."
Chairman Shortreed added, "An influx
like Bruce could have a real impact on our
educational system."
In discussing the size of the committee,
Shortreed said, "I think we should have
more than three members. I would like to
add to get more expertise." .
. Supplement Salaries
The board agreed to supplement salaries
of members of the custodial and
secretarial staffs who are covered by
collective agreement.
These employees will receive an ad-
ditional $35 per month for the duration of
the contract. Part-time employees will also
be covered on a pro -rata basis.
In explaining the move, Cayley Hill said,
"This is not an amendment to the collec-
tive agreement but a board decision to
provide salary supplements, in keeping
with economic trends of the times."
A number of field trips planned by Huron
students were approved. They include
South Huron and Central Huron secondary
Central and Brussels public schools.
The SHDHS trip for Senior Outers is to
Killarney Provincial park for one week. In
asking for approval of this trip, superin-
tendent R.B. Allan suggested the effects of
this and other longer trips be appraised by
the education committee.
In ,addition, the board agreed to support
the✓ Goderich high school drama club
financially if they advance to the Ontario
finals at the St. Lawrence Centre in
Toronto on May 8, 9 and 10.
The Goderich drama presentation of the.
1913 storm on Lake Huron was one of four
possible entries in the Toronto festival.
The Central Huron three-day trip to
Montreal is a reward for 30 prefects for
their assistance supervising school dances
and functions. The students are paying
their own expenses from bowlathons and
doing odd jobs.

has distributed to newcomers and real
estate offices, listing locations of Catholic
schools in the two counties, has encouraged
Catholic supporters to check with the
board's office about school ac-
commodation before buying property.
He suggested the board could check out
bus routes with the public school board and
would not necessarily have to provide
special bus or taxi accommodation.
A second policy, on trustees possessing
keys to schools and the board office was
passed with one amendment. An old policy
that board members may possess keys to
schools in their area was reaffirmed.
Two new policies provide that the
chairmen of each standing committee can
have a key to the board room to facilitate
holding committee meetings and that keys
to schools may be picked up etre board
office or from a" principal by standing
committee chairmen were also passed. A
log book at the board office will be
provided for committee chairmen to sign
keys in and out.
After-sorne-discussion; •a-third-poliry, on
school photos was passed. School prin-
cipals will be permitted to select one
photographic company to make one visit a
year to each school to take the students'
photos. Trustee Francis Hicknell of Dublin
said he would like to see class photos taken
each year.
Principal Gary Birmingham 9f _ St.
Aloyissius'S`clrido `in Stratford, who was at
the meeting as an observer, was queried on
his policy on photos. He said he tries to pick
the best quality photographer and that the
school gets 10 percent of the money from
photos sold. "It's a very competitive
business".
Kippen area trustee Michael Coi olly
suggested "We should tender and get a
photographer for all the schools in a
business like way."
Trustee Joe Looby of Dublin suggested
that a survey be done for the end of the
year on how many pictures and what type
were taken at all the board's schools, so
that perhaps a new policy could be worked
out for next year. Trustees agreed to
consider the matter again for next year.
The board's metric committee is holding
meetings, Director of Education John
Vintar reported, but will meet again before
a report is ready for the board.
Stratford trustee Ron Marcy said he was
disappointed to learn that the Perth County
board of education was setting up their own
metric committee • and ignoring a
suggestion that they get together with the
separate board, which had offered to co-
operate with the Perth Board and to in-
clude their representative on the com-
mittee that is already set up.
"These committees cost money, and as
separate school supporters of the public
system, we should object to the
duplication", Mr. Marey said. Trustee
Howard Shantz agreed to inform the
separate school representative on the
Perth board of Mr. Marcy's feelings.
None of the board's standing committees
made any report, although Mickey Vere of
the building and property committee said a
tour of all the board's schools with plant
superintendent Ed Rowland was being set
up for new members of the board.
The 1975 ministry of education grant
regulations should be available at a con-
ference in Waterloo on April 21, Mr. Vintar
reported. Mr. Marcy, chairman of the
finance committee, Mr. Vintar and
business administrator Jack Lane will
attend-the-meet-ing: ~ -. -. _.
In a committee of the whole, in camera,
session after the regular board meeting, a
decision was made to have a special 4board
meeting on Wednesday, April 24 to set the
mill rate for 1975, after the ministry
guidelines have been received.

James, Seaforth, who was at the meeting
as 'an observer, 'Witt' attend a faintly life
educators conference in Windsor, later this
month.. Sister Mary is teaching a pilot
project on family life at the Seaforth
school. °
The board voted to send a letter to the
Ottawa Board of Education expressing the
board's hope for a "just and equitable
solution" to their negotiations with
secondary school teachers.
