(Staff roto) Summer school more successful than anticipated by H -P Board The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will not join the courier service carried on by the Huron and the Perth County Boards of Education. The decision for one year only was made at the board meeting in Seaforth Monday night because "the volume would not justify the service." The board will donate $150 to the Wingham parish of Sacred Heart Church toward the cost of bus transportation of children to the summer school of religion. Wingham trustee William Kinahan reported the school to be "far more of a success than ex- pected; with between 168 and 185 children attending the two-week school, including 66 from Clinton. The cost of the school amounted to $471, including $180 for ' the Clinton bus and $100 for the Brus- sels bus. Registration fees amounted to $115 and a donation from the Brussels Catholic Women's League of $50 resulted inceebt of $296 to the Wingham parish. tee Donald Crowley of °Ghill questioned whether the igious education taught in the reg ar school term was ade- quate if th `sumrher school was such a success. Mr. Crowley said: "I think we should be taking a good look at the teaching o religion in our schools. The must have felt this was nece sary and the teachers who volunteered to teach as well." Several trustees expressed concern about the religious course in the schools.

Mr. Kinahan said the summer school. was an additive, not an alternative to the regular course. Business Administrator Jack Lane reported that the Ministry of .Education, has approved the sketch plans for the addition to St. Patrick's School at Kinkora which includes a gymnasium, health room and change rooms with showers. The general legislative grant approved -for the project is $169,000. Mr. Lane said the earliest pos- sible date to start work on the addition would be early spring pending finalization of plans, let- ting of tenders and final approval of Ministry of Education. Bus drivers of board -owned buses vldll be given an increase of 50 cents per hour raising their wages to $4.25 per hour for the school year 1975-76 for extracur- ricular driving, such as trans- porting children to swimming classes. The by-law and policy commit- tee is studying the policy' on the' authorization for use of school? facilities by groups for meetings, especially in regard to the use of janitorial services. Concern has been expressed that the janitors were being called on to clean up the gymnasium and meeting rooms and not being paid for it. A report on field trips and excursions from January to June, 1975 by the students of the 19 schools was ' distributed to the board members. It outlined . . . . ..... Y/ . ^� iWile/ l X74 iM. / fY%+.. N •. `:. +• where the students went, the cost to the pupils and to the extracur- ricular budget. Mr. Lane outlined the new extra -curricular budget for 1975 that has been initiated this year to provide all schools with the opportunity to share in recog- nized "out-of-school activities" to meet the individual school and community needs within the definition and to equalize the op- portunity as far as possible. The out-of-school activities were defined as field trips, excur- sion, performing arts, swimming program, skating program, inter- school sports and gym facilities. Mr. Lane explained how the $15,000 budget was divided among the schools on the basis of the number of pupils, the location of the school—whether located in the city, village or the rural area and the indoor sports facilities such as gyms, etc. "Now there is an accountabi- lity for the spending of these funds, • the thing is going to be policed. We went to see a con- structive use of the funds," Mr. Lane said. "We have tried to :corhe up With Sane form of equalization of opportunity for all pupils." Stratford' Trustee Howard Shantz said, "I think the larger schools are not getting the money the smaller schools do." John O'Drowsky of St. Marys asked for a report on the alloca- tion of funds for the field trips as of the end of December, 1975, to be given at the January meeting.
