(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Ratepayers discuss problem mouth of Nine Mile River Ministry recommends uniting the at 19 Huron -Perth Catholic schools. • Consolidating the 19 Catholic schools > across Huron and Perth Counties is being strongly recommended by the Ministry of Education. . A report released at the Huron -Perth Separate School Board's June 25 meeting entitled "Co-operative Evaluation and Development of a School System" (CEDSS) presented recommendations which the CEDSS' committee acknowledges could cost money. "The investigators acknowledge that some of the recommendations contained in this report , may, if implemented, represented additional costs tothe Huron - Perth County RCSS Board in this period of fiscal restraint. The investigators strongly recommend that the Board investigate where necessary in order to marshal! the available resources in a more effective manner to meet the needs of the children in their. charge," States the report's in- troduction.' The investigators referred to are two education officers in the Ministry of Education's London regional office. They are Eric Wiley and Ted Johnson.. - Mr. Johnson said the CEDSS report has no bearing on the current consideration of consolidation in the Stratford separate schools. ' The investigators compiled reports on the system prepared by an internal team and an external team. The internal team was:chaired by acting superintendent Gaeten Blanchette . find° made up of principals, a teacher and a con- sultant. The external team was chaired by G. Blake, a ministry !superintendent from North Bay. This team was made up of other ministry representatives as well as representatives from the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education (OISE) and Althouse College of Education. • The CEDSS work was approved by the Huron -Perth Board about a • year ago. - Ministry funding was guaranteed up to $20,000. The study cost $14,000. There were six areas studied .by the teams. Organization and facilities, of schools,. board and administration organization, the role of the principal and under Grades 4 to 6 curriculum, language arts, physical education and family life. One of the major recommendations outlined in the report calls for the review of the role of superintendent of education with an eye to adding staff. "A majority of respondents suggested that additional staff are needed at the supervisory level to cover the many tasks necessary at that level for the .effective operation of the supervisory lystem," states the report. Staff wise, all administrations. director, superintendent col education and superintendent of business and finance seem to be doing a good job. • "In summary, the senior administrators- are dministratorsare valuable and valued members of the system". • The co-ordinators and consultants are also doing a good job, but according to the report, some principals identified con- cerns with the role of this support staff. "Because of the range of duties assigned to the. Superintendent of. Education it has become necessary to delegate many of the administrative duties to a person original- ly hired to be a consultant. This has resulted in a reduction of the time spent serving as a consultant," the report states: The trustees role was also considered in - the report. The report says the trustees are doing their duties as required. ' Trusteesand some clergy discussed the influence of administrative staff over deci- sions made by the board. However, all , trustees agreed administration should be • serving as advisors to the board. Communication, as it relates to such between the board and staff, administra- tion and staff, the board and the public and the'schools and the public was also notedin the CEDSS report as an area where some improvement is necessary. The recommendations in the report will, be studied by a board ad hoc committee made up of chairman Ron Murray, vice •cpairman Michael Moriarity, director (se- - John McAuley and"superintendent of-- education f--education (acting) and chairman of the in- ternal team Blanchette. This ad. -..hoc.. committee will set up general plans for establishing the CEDSS recommendations over a five year period. There were about 80 ratepayers random- ly surveyed for the CEDSS_report as well as parents, teachers and principals. Board to examine high school in area There may be a Catholic high school in Huron and Perth Counties.- - Huron -Perth Separate School = Board chairman Ron Murray of RR 1, Dublin, an- nounced on June 25 that a steering com- --mittee will be set up to look into, the possibility of having a Catholic high school in the system. • Mr. Murray said the formation of such a • • committee comes after Premier William Davis announced Kindergarten to Grade 12 funding for separate schools in Ontario. Separate school funding from the province now only covers Kindergarten to Grade 10. There are currently no Catholic high schools in either Huron or Perth. The closest Catholic high schools are m London and Kitchener. The chairman described the steering committee as—afaet finding committee., cot unittee fact finding committee.
