"It turned out to be very favorable," superintendent of business and finance Jack Lane told the Mar. 10 meeting of the school board. The school board had a total budget of $9.4 million for last year, but ended up spending only $9.1 million realizing a savings of over .. $300-,000. The Catholic school board faced debts last year ,for the additions to three schools, Precious Blood in Exeter, St. Joseph's in Clinton and Sacred Heart in Wingham. However, the portion of the salary increases that the teachers gave up as well as the pro- ceeds from the $500,000 debenture sold, money used to finance the additions, have cut the unfinanced portion of the capital fund. The Ministry of Education 'didn't pro- vide any funding for the additions. "You have no long term liabilities except for the debentures," Lane told trustees. The financing has also left the school hoard with a $170.000 ,reserve fund. The business superintendent said this will be kept for the proposed addition at St. Boniface in Zurich. That addition is to )louse, the children who will be corning from Eche Ste. Marie in September of 1987. Also, $279,100 planned for roof replacements'last year was not approved by the provincial education ministry which would have funded most of the project. But, , these roof replacements have been given the green light for this year. . Not doing the roof replacements is the reason the school board was under budget, Lane said. The school board also spent less on ICON computers, $50,000 less than the $204,795 in- itially expected. However, that will be back up this year, said the superintendent. The board has a five year 'plan to put ICON com- puters in. all of its schools on a permanent basis. Both Lane and his assistant, Randy Brown, were applauded by the board because of the under budget financial statement. Huron -Perth board is hiring co-ordinator The Huron -Perth Homan Catholic Separate School Board will hire a half- time computer consultant to provide in- service training to its teachers. The school board approved the position at its Feb. 10 meeting after hearing an up- date on its computer committee's ac- tivities over the past few years. The board learned it has an inventory of 60 ICON computers which have been divid- ed into four labs which travel around the system's 19 schools. Each lab stays at. a school for eight weeks. However, it's not only the children that need to learn how to operate the com- puters. The teachers also have to learn. "I feel we're leading the way in in- service training in the midwestern 'region and we're near the top in the province," said computer coipwittee chairman Larry Cook of Dublin. Four and a half years ago there were three PET computers in the Huron -Perth Catholic school system. Computer com- mittee member Don Farwell, of Stratford, said by the, Fall of 1982 there was one PET in each of the 19 schools. A year later, the teachers had their first system profes- sional development day on computers. There, the teachers were told that the computer was not an extra subject, but a part of the curriculum, said Farwell, prin- cipal Of Immaculate Conception school. "We 'began looking at ICONs m , 4eptcgibgr,1984," said Farwell. • Now,. with the four..ICON. labs, .every teacher has access to a computer during the school year. In fact, four three-hour sessions for teachers are currently taking. place. "We've had close to 100 per cent atten-• dance," said Cook. And in the administration report asking for the co-ordinator,, it is noted that the computer committee has voluntarily pro- vided in-service training. "In order to implement our computer education program during the 1985-86 school year, it required 147 teacher supply days," states the report. The report, also comments on the leading role the board has taken in in- service training, but notes there have been some drawbacks. "Our trainers have required time away from their classrooms to be trained by Burroughs Corporation and the regional (ministry) computer advisory council. We have also expected them to plan program materials and teach evening .sessions on their own personal time. They have done so generously, but not without weariness • and the toll it plays on individuals and their families," states the report. It is this teacher teaching that will be the main role of the computer co-ordinator. Superintendent of business and finance, Jack Lane, said no co-ordinator's fee or responsibility allowance has been attach- edto the co-ordinator's position. The per- son hired will be placed on the teachers' grid depending on their own personal ex- perience, he said. , The' co-ordinator's two year terra is from September 1986 to June 1988. By ' 1990, the committee hopes that students will receive 100 Minutes per week on the computer. Correspondent's family moves Clete, Mary Louise, Jennifer, Ray, Cathy, and Jdhn S.
