Association of St. Joseph's
School, Clinton, will be notified
that the board has heard from the
ministry of education there will
be no funding available for
renovations to that school this
year. Mrs. Kerrigan and two
other members of the association
presented a brief to the board
April 9 stating additional ac-
commodation is needed at the
school.
The board authorized its
property committee to visit the
school and see what can be done
to improve the facilities. In
addition the board will continue
to pursue its request to the
vestigate the possibility of giving
parents the option of sending
their Kindergarten children to a
nearby school, other that their
own to benefit class loading in the
system.
Trustees Ronald Murray and
John O'Drowsky said this is a
board and not the parents'
responsibility and William
Eckert, director of education,
warned this could open up the
problem of requests for changing
schools in other grades.
The board approved the setting
aside of nine professional activity
days for teaching staff in 1979-80
and approved a request by Mr.
Connolly that the numner of days
should be decided prior to the
meeting at which the precise
dates for special days are
established. It was decided it is
impossible to time the days to
coincide with professional
development days at Huron and
Perth public schools.
Five of the nine days are
designated as system -wide days,
with the other four being set to
suit the local community.
