(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) 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:,...... 5. II, f. 4 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.
