By Wilma Oke
The establishment of a Beginners Class at
Precious Blood School in Exeter was turned
down by the Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board Monday in a
vote of 10-3.
The proposal to establish the class was
made at the last board meeting on October
27 by the school's principal, Margaret
Medve on the basis of ten inquiries by
parents to have the children registered who
will have their birthdays between January
1, 1987 and July 1 and would be eligible to be
admitted to school on the first day of school
in the following September acccording to
Ministry of Education regulations.
Mrs. Medve said the children would be mittee gave a report of the work of that com-

This reorganization not only creates
single grades, with the odd exception, but it
vacates the kindergarten space now in the
board office and removes one portable
classroom from St. Patrick's and maintains
the auxiliary use, other than classroom, of
one portable at St. Patrick's.
"This decision to reorganize will better
serve the students of the area, by making
each school a more viable education unit,
said Mr. McInnes. He said improvement in
resource allocation, staff utilization and ser-
vices to students should result and these
organizational units should serve the com
munities well into the future, he concluded.

determine joint courses of action and bring

implemented.
In other business, it was announced that
an Elementary Professional Activity Day
was held at St. Mary's School in Goderich on
November 4 - subject: Language Arts.
The board granted a two-year leave of
absence for Theresa Bowins of Stratford,
Religious Consultant with the board starting
September, 1987. She plans to obtain her
masters degree. The board will advertise
for a replacement.

meeting.
The next meeting of the board will be held
