Frayne may stay
as chairman
By Stephanie Levesque
The chairman of the Huron County Board
of Education hopes to continue in that spot
for another year, but announced he will not
chair any meetings where the question of
Catholic high schools is the main issue.
Chairman Eugene Frayne of RR 3,
Goderich told trustees at their November
session that he would let the vice-chairman
sit as his replacement at such meetings.
Mr. Frayne is the Catholic school
supporters representative onthe public
school board. He represents the north half of
the county while Dennis Rau of RR 2, Zurich
represents the south half of the county.
The board is going to monitor the question
of extending funding to Catholic high
schools beyond Grade 10. Administration
will prepare briefs to be presented to the
provinces's three commissions being set up
to investigate the issue.
Locally, the Huron Perth Roman Catholic
Separate School Board has set up a commit-
tee of trustees as well as community
members to determine whether or not it
should go ahead with a Catholic high school.
Mr. Frayne said his decision to vacate his
chair _ at these possible meetings is
• "reasonable".
Vice-chairman Art Clarke of Wingham
said he will_re-seek that spot.
Education committee chairman Frank
Falconer of RR 5, Clinton and management
committee chairman Dennis Rau also want
to retain those positions.
However, personnel committee chairman
John Jewitt of . Londesboro made no com-
ment about staying on in that role. Trustee
Graeme Craig of `RR 1, Walton sakthe would
like to be personnel committee chairman.
Director of education Bob Allan said
trustees will be able to announce their inten-
tions to seek a chairmanship at the board's
inaugural meeting Which will be Dec: 3.

No schools to be reviewed
by Stephanie Levesque
While enrolment at some secondary
schools in Huron County remains low, there
will be no accommodation reviews this
year.
The Huron County Board of Education, at
its Nov. 5 meeting, agreed to not review any
of its schools during the 1984-85 school year.
However, it was noted that "the only
school identified for review consideration
which was not reviewed last year was F.E.
Madill Secondary School" in Wingham.
In the last school year, three elememen-
tary schools were reviewed, J.A.D. MacCur-
dy in Huron Park, Hensall Public School in
Hensall and Vanastra Public School in
Vanastra, but none were recommended for
closure.
A .report from the board's executive corn-
mittee notes that the Sept. 30 enrolment at
F.E. Madill was 935, down from the Sept. 30
enrolment of a year ago of 949.
Director of education Bob Allan said a Stu-
dent population of 935 is still a "very viable
size" and provides a good student base. He
added that province -wide, F.E. Madill is
probably in the upper half as far as student
population goes.
"What you have though, is a building that
would accommodate a lot more students,"
said Mr. Allan.
But classrooms are sitting empty. One
classroom houses the reso ce teachers for
the north half of the count and a second
classroom is used as home base for the
school resource teacher.
"In the near future it is expected that one
classroo,n will be converted for use by
senior students from Golden Cirple. Con-
sideration is being given to locating an in-
termediate special leaning needs class . in
this facility as well," states the executive
committee•report.
