Technical education a priority for county school board in coming year By Stephanie Levesque Technical and special education as well as funding to separate schools will be addressed next year by the Huron County board of education, according to the board's new chairman Art Clark of Wingham, who was acclaimed at the Dec. 5 inaugural meeting. Originally scheduled for Monday, Dec. 2, that meeting was cancelled because of a snow storm. Clark, 41, said one of the first things the new school board will have to address is the report on technical education presented by Joe Wooden. Clinton's Central Huron secondary school principal presented a report with a list of recommendations at a special board meeting on Nov. 25. "It needs a great deal of discussion," said Clark of the report. The new chairman, taking over from Eugene Frayne of RR 3, Goderich, said special education at the secondary school level has to be expanded. The third main subject that will have to be dealt with in the upcoming year is the results of the Shapiro commission. This pro- vincial body made recommendations on the funding of private schools. "We have a lot of private schools in this area. Christian, Mennonite and Baptist. We can't look at just Catholic schools," said Clark. The new chairman is an engineer for Maitland Engineering Services of Wingham. He will be assisted by John Jewitt, 46, of RR 1, Londesboro who was acclaimed as vice-chairman. Jewitt said his role will be to assist the chairman and help his fellow trustees make good decisions. The Hullet Township resident is in mixed farming.
