Dunlop, Superintendent of Business Affairs, for the Huron County Board of Education was authorized at the Board meeting in Clinton Monday to negotiate in- dividually with the custodians and to produce_ for ratification at the ,earliest Ate, recoil-men- dedcontract values, and that this be completed by the middle of August. On recommendation from the Management committee the Board and the McKillop Town- ship Council will sign a 10 -year lease from September 1, 1973, to June 30, 1983, for the Board to use the area behind the, McKillop Township garage and office as a turn -around for school buses and loading of pupils for various school. The Board decided not to blacktop the existing driveway as the cost was too high --$3,000 for three-inch topping..o The Board turned down an Offer from Clarke Zinn of the real estate firm of Wilfred McIfltee Co., Limited, for a parcel 'of land 82 feet by 264 feet adjacent to the Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton as the price of $6,000 was considered excessive. The present house on the lot is being moved. The Board granted per- mission to ''John Armstrong, of Londesboro to build a wooden fence, similiar to the one run- ning along the back of his property, on his land which borders on the south side of Hullett Central School at no cost to the Board and to be maintained by Mr. Armstrong at no cost to the Board. The Board will co-operate with the Howick Community' Centre Building Committee which requested the use of nine aores of land owned by the Board adjacent to Howick Public School, which the Com- mittee requires for a race trig. The trade will be built when Howick and Gorrie amalgamate their two fairs. The property requires draining. At present it is only a hayfield. If leased it will be for a long term. -. The. Board will continue its present policy on age for ad- mission to kindergarten --fifth birthday before December 31 of the applicable school year. Some of the sample comments from schools an the suggestion that the age be lowered are: More 4 -year old pupils riding buses could cause problems; over'90, per cent of our teachers want the policy left as it is; and lowering the admittance age For All Your Lumber & Building Needs se JOHN JEFFERY & SONS Phone 524-8171 would merely be robbing from next year's total and not solving the problem of low enrolments. The Board accepted the report of A.M.Harper, char- tered accountant, for the of- ficial audited financial statement..It will now be sub- mitted to the Ministry of Education, and th inten- dent of ffairs will be *'hstructed to publish in all weekly newspapers of Huron County the summarized version of the auditor's report. The Board will advise parents of Bruce, County pupils enrolled or to be 'enrolled in Brookside Public School, that, if the Bruce County Board of Education refuses, to pay tuition fees, such pupils may complete their elementary education in Huron County schools, if the parents so wish, at no cost to the parents, but that any children who have not yet reached school enrolment age will have to enrol in a school designated by the Bruce County Board of Education. The Board will refer the let- ter from the Society for the Study of the Heritage of Canada re existing problems of current "March break" to the Administration for recommen- dation when the 1974-75 school year program is being drawn up. The letter was prompted by the number of students and teachers who travel on field study programs during the March break and this puts a severe strain on airplane, train and car travel and on hotels causing overcrowding of facilities, substandard accom- modation and increased prices. The Heritage Society suggests the holiday period be either the first, second or fourth week in March or back to the last weeks of February. The following is a list of resignations from staff -- elementary schools, 37, secon- dary schools, 14, ad- ministration centre, 1, ....for a total of 52 resignations: Colborne Central Public School, Mrs. Linda Rau; Grey Central Public School, Mrs. Margaret Sweeney; Exeter Public School, Mrs. Beth McGee; Hostick Central Public Schoolr Miss Anita Harrison and Miss Helen Heighington; Victoria Public School, Goderich, Mrs. Glenda Walter; Wingham Public School, Mrs. Jane Heipel and Mrs. Arlyn Montgomery; F.E.
