School will remain open
The Huron County Board of Education has
. made a commitment to keep Vanastra
Public School open. However, if student
numbers and costs mean it has to close, it
should be the Ministry 'of Education that
closes it, one trustee said.
The board, at its September session,
discussed a report which outlined the im-
pact on the county if Vanastra P.S. is closed,
if the school building is purchased from Con-
estoga College, or the board continues to
rent from the college.
It was Trustee John Jewitt who said, the
provincial ministry should be reponsible for
closing the school if necessary.
Trustee Joan Vanden Broeck said the
board shouldn't waver on a decision it has
already made.
The report presented by director of educa-
tion Robert Allan outlined tliJ financial con-
siderations in the above three situations.
financial considerations are directly
related to enrolment trends,", states the
ireportis sumthafy. '
Enrolment at -the school haS steadily
declined since it was first opened in 1977.
The school started with 138 students that
year and in 1983 had only 92 students.
Current costs, or the cost of renting the
facilities from Conestoga College for the
1984-85 school year is $35,897 - up from the
1983-84 cost of $35,019. About half of this cost
is paid by the ministry.
If the board owned the school the total
cost, has been estimated at $554,194. This in-
cludes one -time -611y costs of $50,000 for the
purchase and about $475,000 for renovations.
Mr. Allan said the purchase price is
"speculation" on his part.
ILthe renovating and purchase costs were
eliminated, it would leave an annual
operating cost of about $30,000.
In this situation, if the. Ministry approved
renovating the school, it would . pay about
$420,000 towards those costs. Approximately
$105,000 plus the operating costs would be
paid locally.
In the third consideration, if the school is
closed, there would be an annual savings of
about $129,861. This cost represents the ren-
tal fee, principal's salary, small school staff
allocation allowance 'of $52,820 and
secretarial costs.
The report does acknowledge that if the
school were4os.ed the board would face ad -
di tra1 :',costs. 1„7:,......

per cent of the students went to Ctin-
ton Public School and 70 per cent of the
students went to Huron Centennial Public
School, the total transportation cost would
be approximately $32,595."
According to the ministry's figures, the
Huron board has room for 9,696 students.
