Pilotproject consists of arca parents
The education and personnel committees
of the Huron County Board of Education will
be bringing a report on French Immersion
to the April meeting of the board.
At its March 5 meeting, the board receiv-
ed a request to set up a French Immersion
pilot project-- from a group of Goderich and
area parents calling themselves the Com-
mittee for Learning Opportunities.
There were over 30 parents in attendance
at the board meeting.
Representatives of this committee, Mark
Sully of Goderich and Paul Puddy of
Lucknow made a 35 -minute presentation to
the board outlining what French Immersion
is and how they would like to see it im-
plemented in Huron County.
But some trustees questioned establishing
a new program when the board is in the pro-
cess of reviewing accommodation levels at
three elementary schools.
"I have a problem in my own mind in
deciding to add a program when we have to
go to Hensall and watch them justify keep-
ing their school open," said Trustee John
Jewitt -of'Londesboro.
Trustee Joan. Van Den Broeck of Saltford
-had similar concerns. She -said there are
four schools in addition to the three already -
under review that are within a range of six
students of corning under a similar review.
Mrs. Van Den Broeck also said that in
preparing the budget this year, the board's
various committees were told not to add
new p
ro rams unless they deleted costs in
other areas.
r`If we work on that prernise, what are we
prepared to give up?" she asked noting the
only areas where there could be cuts include
summer school, the county science fair and
transportation.
"Are we prepared to do that?" she asked.
Trustee Murray Mulvey of RR 1, Clifford
responded by saying he had enough faith in
administration to come up with a report in-
dicating the pros and cons of a pilot project
in Huron County.
The parents from Goderich and area are
asking the board to set up an early total
French Immersion program. They would

like to see a kindergarten and Grade 1
French Immersion program start this
September.
Statistics they gathered at a public
meeting in February show 23 children could
be enrolled in such a program at the
kindergarten level and 27 children for Grade -
1.
The majority of these children would
come from Goderich, but interest has also
been expressed by parents of children in
Blyth, Hohnesville and the townships of Col-
borne and Hallett.
Mr. Sully said that while the time between
now and September is short, other school
boards have set up French Immersion in
that length of time.
A report by Bob McCall, superintendent of
program, estimates the cost of implemen-
'ting a French Immersion program in one
school area at $3,843.94.
He arrived at this figure by estimating it
would cost $6,200 for such things as accom-
modation, equipment and supplies and other
material for both kindergarten and Grade 1.

subtracted Ministry of Education grants
. based on 25 .pupils in each of the two initial.
grades of $8,556.06 which would leave a
balance of $3,&43.94.
Exeter Trustee Clarence McDonald asked
why the cost of teachers was not included in
the estimate?
The superintendent replied that teaching
costs were not included because the French
Immersion students would need a teacher
even if they wzre:ino-regular: elassrt rig. _
Director of Education Bob Allan added
that theoretically there are no teacher costs,
but in reality there probably would be.
The board also acknowledged that they
had received letters from two citizens with
concerns for setting up a French Immersion
program. Mr. Allan read aloud the letters
from D. C. Scott and Doug Harrison, both of
Goderich.
Mr. Scott's letter took excerpts from a re-
cent Canadian Education Association
(CEA) study on the "Issues and Effects" of
French Immersion. The overriding theme of
the excerpts were negative towards French

"The main concern for aU should be to
achieve the best education available for our
children, To rush into a program that ob-
viously has raised several serious concerns
in, school boards that have already
established the program would be im-
proper. The school boar& (Huron) should
study and make public their findings on
these and other concerns and assess the sup-
port of the Huron County residents when
they have received all the facts," states Mr.
Scott's letter.
But Mr. Sully had the same CEA study
and read the summary which said in
general, administrators involved in setting
up the program felt the amount of time
spent on French Immersion was offset by
the benefits.
"The program is worth the difficulties,"
said Mr. Sully.

"I would like to finish by saying that is

able to speak more than one language.
However, I am not firmly convinced that
other learning opportunities are not equally
as pertinent in the overall education of our
youth," stated Mr. Harrison's letter.
Neither Mr. Harrison or Mr. Scott were

The board debated having the French Im-

tion committee brought in at its April
meeting with some trustees saying it isn't
enough time to discover the ramifications of
French Immersion since it could be drawing
students from schools close to being review

board's April meeting, the same day it br
ings down its 1984 budget.
