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 school. units be accom- modated under one 1° Teti separate areas for a brief set time. The Huron -Perth board will write the minister ex- pressingconcern and stated it was nt interested in shar- ing facilities under any cir- cumstances.

All too often over the years we have seen an outside "ex- pert" hired and come to Goderich. He (or she) may stay for several years and then leave - sometimes leav- ing a mess for others to clean, up.
