Vanastra school may offer Grade 7 classes BY ANNE NAREJKO CLINTON - It was only two short years. ago that parents, teachers and supporting organizations were forced to rally behind Vanastra Public School to keep it from be- ing closed. The Huron County Board of Education was closely watching the school to determine if it was "educationally viable." Vanastra Public School not only passed the test, but is now in the position to offer Grade' 7 classes, starting in September of this year and Grade 8 in September of 1987. The announcement.to extend the school's grades from kindergarten to Grade 7 was made at the Board's April 7 meeting and was passed without discussion. Sally Rathwell, Tuckersmith Township's representative on the Board; later expl ; ed the present Grade 6 students at the Vanastra school will make up the first Grade 7 class this fall and will then make up the Grade 8 class in 1987. Ms. Rathwell also said'students currently attending Clinton Public School will not be required to switch over to Vanastra. "The students have done 'enough shuffling around," she said. Final plans as to whether additional teachers will be hired or whether an addi- tional room is needed have not been.,finaliz- ' ed. The school, which currently has 90 students registered, is in its ninth year of operation. KINGSBRIDGE- bODERICH SIGNAL -STAR.
