Terri Wall has one of her HP Separate board supports sharing concern by Wilma Oke The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board supported the concern expressed in a letter from the Hastings -Prince Edward County Roman Catholic Separate School board about memos issued recently by the ministry of education on sharing school facilities. The board wrote it felt that some of the policies indicated that "sharing" which might be tolerated on a temporary basis, will become a long-term solution and would infringe upon the basic rights of separate school children in being educated in separate school buildings. The board wrote that it felt that under no circumstances should separate school classes be lodged in an isolated, scattered pattern in public schools as any ar- rangements which dim their identity, autonomy and dignity is unacceptable. The board wrote it would agree in an emergency that two schoolunits be accom- modated under one roof in separate areas for a brief set time. The Huron -Perth board will write the minister ex- pressing concern and stated it was not interested in shar- ing facilities under any cir- cumstances. The board accepted the resignation of Sister Mary Winifred, 'teacher at St. Boniface School, Zurich, ef- fective March 31, 1981 and of Pauline McCabe, French teacher at St. Michael's School, Stratford, effective March 31. Also accepted was the resignation of Marjorie Glendenning, principal's relief at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, effective August 31 and agreed to a leave of absence without pay for the period April 21 to June 26 for Jo -Anne Eckert, teacher at St. Joseph's School, Stratford.
