(James Fitzgerald photo) Vanastra Pu lie School Will not close yet Vanastra Public School has been granted a stay of eneczation for....l�t._:.leaet_ another year by the regional office of the Mf dstry of Education. The regional office had • informed the board of education that, beginning in September, students of Vanastra Public School would be accomodated in Clinton and Brucefield Schools. The Vanastra School was started in 1077 beeausie schools in Clinton and Brucefield could not handle the excess students. In 1077 the regional office agreed to rent a building .in Vanastra from Conestoga College for a three-year period. D,A..Kinchlea of the ministry regional office in London, informed the board that the Ministry would not renew the lease en the building 'after June of this Students Last week was Education Week across Ontario. This year's theme was "Celebrate Learning". On Monday, we celebrated by having hat and T-shirt day when everyone wore their favourite to school, while on Tuesday, Odd Day, split personalities were the rage. On Tuesday evening, we had a talent show and our choir put on a superb perfor- mance. Jennifer Burt delighted the crowd with a step dance, accompanied by her teacher, Mrs. Flynn. A year and the students were to be accomodated in neigh- bouring schools, That declisian ivas • later reversed and Vanastra Public School Will be open at least until June 1982, In a letter to Kinchlea, director or education John Cochrane pointed out that transportation costs for the 101 students would amount to $26,045while rental fees are $27,000 annually. He suggested the $995 saving was not worth the problems the board' and ministry would inherit as a result of the closure. In his letter to the regional office, Cochrane said closure of the school would result in an ugly situation adding that it would contribute to the gangrenous demise of a Huron County community.
