Trustees realize that tight budget conditions could seriously hamper the operation pf technical, commercial and academic programs in the future in the five county secondary schools but chose to deal with one area at a time. The board was asked in.April of 1977 by W.S. Craig, technical director at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, to give serious thought to allocating ' more funds to technical equipment 'replacement in schools. Craig told the -board that the equipment in the schools was old and outdated and not only was in poor repair but was inadequate for today's teaching needs. He said the equipment in use in technical shops was over 20 years old and technology had advanced to the point that students learning techniques on the old machinery were totally unprepared for post secondary training or to take jobs. Craig asked the board to come to the shops in the schools and see for itself the condition of the equipment. He said the issue was slowly 'killing' technical programs and required immediate attention "--antt-r--,suggested` rnunication between the board and its teachers may help find solutions., That request sparked the board into forming a committee which did tour the schools, The committee gave technical equipment replacement top priority in the budget but that priority amounted to $500. Craig later expanded his request to include commercial equipment pointing out that commercial programs were in the same dilemma as technical: Craig has since included academic programs and supply budgets in his requests for board action and recently asked the board to set up a working committee to investigate, financial problems and attempt' to come up with solutions. He said the committee should work with representatives from each subject area to try to find solutions in time for the 1979 budget. Ashfield trustee Marion Zinn suggested, that the board establish a committee to work on problems af- fecting the technical departments since that area had already been studied by the board. " Gerich trustee Dorothy Wallace askeid if that recommendation wasn't nearly "nibbling away" at the real problem. She. said the board faced similar crisis in other areas of education and should be attempting to forecast capital expenses in the entire system to enable the board to establish future spending priorities. "It seems to me the technical costs are part of the whole system," said Wallace. "We're getting shorter and shorter of dollars and can't keep going to the public for more. We haven't assessed any priorities .to see if it is. more important to feed money into the -,teclhninal.are.as or.something,else.'' • WAIL e. said the oard dues not even know what the public wants for its money. She said school principals may have more ideas of what the taxpayers want in their schools than trustees and the principals should be included in the study. . Board chairman John Elliott said representatives of technical depart- ments had done a considerable amount Separate board closes class BY WILMA OKE With students across Canada back in their classrooms Statistics Canada reports. that Ontario enrolment is down four percent. This decline in students has had an effect on St. James Separate School in Seaforth, where the decrease is 4.6 percent. At a board meeting of the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board in Dt1)3lin Monday night it was reported that the kin- dergarten classroom has been closed and the four pupils have been in- tegrated in the Grade 1 class. The teacher, Marie Ryan, has been tran- sferred to Dublin to St. Patrick's School where she will teach half days, as she did in Seaforth.

"There just wasn't enough money and I think that's one of the paramount problems facing the board," said Elliott. The board should look at curriculum and see where it's' heading before it starts looking seriously at single areas." Zinn reminded the board that the technical directors had made a presentation to the board and that it was the board's responsibility to do something about it. "There's no reason we couldn't," said Wallace. "The crunch may get so bad we have to go back to teaching kids the 3 R's and send them to the private sector to apprentice for a trade." Colborne trustee Shirley Hazlitt suggested , that the board would probably get another presentation from another department head outlining similar problems. She said it was time the board zeroed in on the whole problem: "If . we had meetings with the technical directors we may solvesome problems," pointed out Clinton trustee Dorothy Williams. Education director John Cochrane agreed with Hazlitt pointing out that the board is going to get each in- dividual department head meeting with the board looking out for his own department's interests. Cochrane said the heads will be at the board meetings "screaming and yelling for all the money they can get" adding they should be doing that as department heads. "The board will get a fragmented impression of the problems if it hears each individual and should be looking at the whole problem," said Cochrane. The board agreed to the formation of a committee made up of trustees and an administrator to look into financial problems affecting technical depar- tments. "What are we going to do next meeting when we have four more of these requests?" asked Exeter trustee Clarence McDonald..
