Bruce school board chairman prepared for peninsula group By PAT HALPIN Special to The Advance -Times CHESLEY - The chairman of the Bruce County Board of Education was prepared with a polite • but firm "no" when a delegation from the peninsula asked that communi- ty opinion be considered in the de- cision to create a Junior K to OAC school in Lion's Head. "I feel, as chair of this board, that this is democracy in action and with the welfare of the stu- dents. of utmost importance, and the support of the majority, we are committed to continue on this course of action," chairman Don Stobo said in a prepared statement after a presentation by Sarah Reaume of Lion's Head. Stobo said in his remarks that the board has heard delegations with opposing views, received pe- titions and letters, and set up a committee with community repre- sentatives in its two-year long at- tempt to solve a dispute about where to house elementary stu- dents on the peninsula. He also noted that Patty McLay, trustee for the area, was returned to office in last fall's election. Reaume argued that most ofthe two-year long debate concerned whether to put grades four and five at Eastnor or Bruce Peninsula District School. She said the decision to move all students to BPDS came from the committee that was investigat- ing the Grade 4 .apd 5 issue. Be- cause the recommendation was made only last summer, Reaume said it has not had an opportunity to be discussed by the community. Reaume presented the board with information gathered from visits to two schools, one in north- ern and one in eastern Ontario, that have all grades in the same fa- cility. She concluded that •the schools to not compare to what is being of- fered at BPDS. "What I came here today is to say if you as a board will move forward in good faith and ask the people of the community what they want about this JK to OAC issue, which you never did before, and if you will act on those results; thenI can ask no more of you," said Reaume. . Stobo firmly refused ro reopen the debate over whether to go ahead with the J.r K to OAC pro- ject, which he said is. the board's number one capital priority. In- stead, he suggested Reaume work with the building committee to ad- dress her concerns. "They're willing to look,, at building . design. You get in there and work, and I'm Sure you'll be satisfied with the outcome," Stobo advised Reaume. After the meeting, Reaume said the board's response was disap- pointing but no unexpected. She wasn't happy with the chairman of the board, "putting the onus" on her to work with a committee to answer the concerns of what she said is a large number of ratepay- 7 ,T Think about the goods and services you buy.
