H-1) oard scho il. r/ !f �lNnna1":" n DUBLIN — The burg Perth Separate School Board approved the draft policy on school accommodation .re- view following a lengthy dis- cussion at a meeting last week. William Eckert, director of education, in outlining the policy, stated that a school nshall be identified for further review, if there is a pattern of continued. decline in the number of pupils; an oc- cupancy ratio of less than 60 per cent; a cost per pupil in excess of the system average and approaching, or in ex- cess of, the weighted ministry grant per pupil for the board; and staffing patterns which are less than those for the system. Mr. Eckert said the mem- bership of the board accom- modation review committee will be the chairman of the board and the vice chair- man, the standing com- mittee chairmen of the finance, property and trans- portation committees of the board, director of education and the superintendent of business. If this committee, after it prepares an initial school accommodation review file, determines that a further re- view is necessary, then it may recommend to the board that it establish a community accomrnodation. review committee. • This committee would in- clude four parents who are -Catholic school supporters; two' trustees,, one •represent- ing the review school plus one from another area ap- pointed , by the chairman of the board add who has served on the board accom- modation .review: com- mittee; a supervisory officer to act as executive secretary of the committee; the review " school principal; a teacher appointed by the branch af- filiate; • and the pastor of the parish -school community.. In the final report to the board, the board accommo- dation review committee must~, consider the. recom- mendations of the communis' ty accommodation review, committee. Where the board determines theta. school is to be closed, the board accom- modation review committee will prepare a report indi- cating the possible alter-. native uses or disposition of the school. The declining enrolment . committee was renamed by the board to be the board ac- commodation review, coni- mittee. The boar.d•authorized the director of education to' approve requests' for ex- tended maternity leaves of less • than one school year (Without pay) to permit an expectant'teacher to leave at the end of one of the school terms prior to the expected delivery date of the baby and -or to return at the beginning of a school term. It was decided this is in the best interest of the education of children. The school terms are Sept. 1 to Dec. 31; Jan. 1 to the winter break and from the winter break to the end of June.

While some: "trustees thought(the board should net send "dele ates to the fourth Congre,, on Education' or the Canadian School Trus- tees' 'Association annual general 'meetings , both to be held in Calgary from June 20- te 23, in order to save money, two trustees have indicated they wish to attend, John. O'Leary and Tim McDon- nell. It was reported the round trip airfare to Calgary would amount to $426 for one per- son in a group travel plan leaving June 19. and return- ing June 24, with hotel room rates running from $50 to $75 per night for the five nights, plus meals. The board approved the dismissal time at Immacu- late Conception School in Stratford from 3:45 p.m. to 3:25 p.m. with a 20 -minute reduction made in the lunch' hour. This will bring the ells-; missal time in line with other schools, coordinating trans- portation and school cross- ing guard programs. Stratford trustee, Ronald Marcy, was appointed to the MasterPlan for Parks and Recreation committee for the city of Stratford to repre- sent the board. Following a lively dis- cussion, the board approved giving the director of edu- cation authority for thea hiring and use of teacher aides (para '-professionals) to assist teachers in the edu- cation of exceptional chil- dren, in self contained special education classes. Board Chairman Ronald Murray left the chair to vote against the ,motion, as, did trustee Tim McDonnell. The hourly rate for teacher aides was set at $5.00 per hour, effective April ii. Provincial government Bill 82 is an Act that ensures that every eit tional pupil receives an edit' n mete' to his ,or her needs and abili- ties. The Act defines ex- ceptional children . as "a pupil whose behavioural, communicational, intellec- tual (including the intel- lectually gifted), physical or multiple exceptionalities ane such that he or she is con- sidered by a board commit- tee to need placement in a special education program." The Act requires the board to provide care and .treat- .ment to these pupils identi- fied as requiring such ser- vices. . At present these ex- ceptional education classes are located in Huron County at St:' Joseph's School in Clinton and in St. .Joseph's School in Stratford. Because of the small number of these students in the twoschools, they are not grouped into specific disability classes, but each class would contain students. with • a variety of disability problems who re- quire more than 50' per cent daily instruction in a special education setting.

By Rita Rice With the•feeling of spring in. the air, it has become much- easier for seniors to get' to the centre for socializ- ing and recreation activities. Laura Holtom, the student from Conestoga' College who had been • working here for the pastthree weeks, left on • Monday of last week. All the. seniors enjoyed having her around and it was a very positive experience for her as well. While here she had the opportunity to -oversee the entire ,organization, doing program planning, budgeting, home visits to'. prospective clients and many other duties. Last Tuesday Doug Mc- Eachern, a conservation officer with the Ministry of Natural Resources, was here for a presentation on the role of the MNR in the com- munity.' He showed a film titled `MNR People', which explained the various as - 'tl•vv`:�Ifrvri 1 �t'JV,1MrJ � r at the Lucknow Public School Monday, April 6th ews pects of ministry work. He then answered questions about the ministry. The Sacred Heart Folk Choir performed at the centre last Wednesday after- noon. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the excellent singing with instrumental ac- companiment. Some of the students were able to come because of March break and many of the adults made a special effort to come during working hours. In craft sessions last week we tried to finish things already started so as to have everything completed by the sale. The Thursday group is doing ceramics and producing some nice .pieces under the direction of Mrs. Anita Mahe. Next Thursday, April 9, we will be gding to the Belmore Maple Syrup Festival. Thursday is Seniors' Day • and it appears a good line-up of events is planned. There is plenty of room on the bus if anyone in the community is interested in going. Call 357- 1440 for more information. We will leave about 9:30 a.m. and return in the early after- noon'. We can always use more plants, slips, etc for our. mobile greenhouse. We are trying to accumulate many plants for our sale, so any- thing you don't want would be appreciated.
