Clinton News-Record, 1986-03-12, Page 2Page 2—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1986 Industrial arts , family studies could e phased in over two years By Stephanie Levesque A two-year phase-in of industrial arts and family studies is possible for Huron County's Grade 7 and 8 students. A proposal for the phase-in, prepared by the administration of the Huron County board of education was presented to the school board at its Mar. 3 meeting. The pro- posal is to be considered by the board as it prepares the 1986 budget. Costs for the program have been estimated at $199,000 for the first two years, reported director of education Robert Allan. This includes four teachers at $38,000 each, busing estimated to cost $28,000 and materials budgeted at $19,000. Now, industrial arts and family studies are offered only at Seaforth Public School and Victoria Public School in Goderich. However, schools in the area are bused to the two centres. Students going to Seaforth are from Huron Centennial in Brucefield, Hensall Public School, Blyth Public School and Hullett Cen- tral Public School. Clinton Public School, Holmesville Public School, Colborne Cen- tral_and Robertson Memorial in Goderich travel to Victoria. At these schools, Grade 8 classes take 80 minutes and Grade 7 classes have 60 minutes. The classes are divided, but not by sex, into the two programs and switch in the middle of the year. The school board's administration pro- pose that Grade 7 and 8 industrial arts and family studies classes be started at F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham. There would be a reshuffling of where schools go to take the program. If accepted by the school board, it would start in September of this year. For the following September, in 1987, ad- ministration proposes that South Huron District High School in Exeter be used as a site for the Grade 7 and 8 program. The Ex- eter High School would serve the south end of the county. This proposal follows closely on the heels of secondary school principal Joe Wooden's report on technical education filed last fall. The report recommends that industrial arts and family studies be provided universally to Grade 7 and 8 classes across the county. CHSS is ready for new venture CLINTON Under the direction of 'Joe Wooden, principal of Central Huron Secon- dary School (CRSS), a committee of teachers at CRSS is presently planning a Co- operative Education Program, Members of the committee are: M. Doherty, E. Craig, B. Weber, S. Schwark, J. DeGroot, G. Cull, J. Carr, B. Munro, L. McKenzie., P. Senn and J. Wooden. The committee is extremely enthusiastic about the educational opportunities that co- operative education will make available to students at CHSS. Recently, teachers visited co-op programs in Woodstock, Newcastle, and Wiarton. In all of these towns the co-op Rrogram has experienced enthusiastic community support. These visits, Ministry of Education guidelines, and other school board officials have helped the committee plan a program for CHSS. Co-operative Education combines periods of in -school instruction with on-the-job ex- perience. Students are able to earn secon- dary school credits while taking advantage of resources available in the coird unity. Co-operative education can help develop skills in social service, business, clerical. A committee of teachers at Central Huron Secondary School ( CRSS) in Clinton are plan- ning a co-operative education program which will begin in September. This is the second such program to be held in Huron County. Members of the committee are (Back row, left), M. Doherty, B. Craig, B. Weber, S. Schwark, J. DeGroot, G. Cull. (Front, left), J. Carr, B.

After some discussion at their March 3 meeting, council decided to purchase burgundy dress jackets with the town crest in gold to wear at conferences or any time they are representing the town. The suggestion to purchase the jackets, at the expense of each councillor, was made after Councillors Case Buffinga, John Cochrane and Bonnie Jewitt attended a con- ference for new councillors in Goderich and • after Mayor John Balfour attended an Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority conference. "About half or even two thirds of 180 representatives ' at the Ausable meeting wore them," commented Mayor Balfour. Councillor Buffinga felt councillors from one town wearing the same color jackets "looked impressive." Council first considered navy blue jackets but felt the color was too common. They decided -to purchase burgundy jackets because the color is versatile. Those working in the town hall office may purchase the jacket as well.
