dition of a "relocatable"

atmosphere. This new
special education class
will be open to meet the
needs of those students in
Huron County who have
been diagnosed as ex-
ceptional and who would
require more than 50
percent of the day in a
special setting with a
specially trained teacher.
By regulation, such
students are assessed by
a placement .and review
committee to determine
needs and to make
program suggestions. He

Pending final pproval
of the plans ,by the
ministry off education,
Mr. Eckert stated the
contractor - Canadian
Portable Structures of
Burlington - is expected
to commence con-
struction later this
month, at the south end of
the school.
Mr. Eckert explained
the present school has
three classrooms and two
portables. With com-
pletion of the addition,
one portable will be
removed.
Declining enrolments
and provincial restraints
imposed on capital
building projects by the
ministry of education
have caused the Huron -
Perth County separate
school board to examine
alternatives to per-
manent and costly
buildings for educational
purposes.
Mr. Eckert said the
relocatable school, or a
relocatable addition to a
school, to meet needs
which exist today may be
moved in whole or in part
as enrolment dwindles at
that location, to 'meet a
growing need at another
school... Historically,
schools were built in a
permanent nature and as
enrolments decline;'
classrooms are vacated
and eventually the school
is closed with the
remaining pupils being
transferred to another
school.

has requested an
allocation of funds from

ministry gives its ap-
proval, the board will
determine the locations
for such additions in
accordance with
priorities which exist at
that time. No. com-
mitment towards an
improvement to the
facilities at any school
can be given until the
ministry has approved
the board's request.
Mr. Eckert pointed out
the cost of the relocatable
'structure is of particular
interest. He •.said the
facilities which may be
provided in the board's
forecast for

would cost in excess of $1
million if built, in the
conventional manner. Of
equal importance, he
said, is the portability
aspect which allows for

caused by student
population shifts —from
one community to
