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. Clinton's proposed zoning bylaw was up for discussion last week at two open houses.

(Shelley McPhee photo) 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.
