Protest decrease in grant
(by Wilma Oke)
The Huron County Board of
Education was informed Monday
at a board meeting in Clinton
that the approved cost, on which
the Ministry of Education pays
grant, was reduced by $14, 000
for the $277, 435 addition to the
Exeter Public School.
D.J. Cochrane, Director of
Education, said the $14, 000
will have to be picked up in
operating budget or deleted from
the contract.
Refflinghaus Construction of
Goderich was awarded the tend-
er for the addition at the end of
December. In order to have the
work included in the 1973 alloc-
ation the tender price was dis-
cussed by telephone with Minist-
ry officials and given approval.
Mr. Cochrane said when the
reduction was made in written
confirmation from the Ministry,
he had asked for an explanation,
and was told it was made when
it reached an official "higher
up,"
E. Cayley Hill, Board Chair-
man said, "Unless there is a
very good reason for doing this,
I don't think it's right. It is un-
fair exhibition of poor business
to be led to the trough, then
cut off,"
Mr. Hill was directed to write
the Ministry asking that the cut
be reconsidered.
The report on the school visit-
ations made by Mr. Hill and Mr.
Cochrane in the fall will be dis-
cussed at a special meeting at
the end of February or early in
March after Mr. Cochrane and
his staff have completed a study
on the ten proposals in the report
and decide which item has prior-
ity over another.
The report concerns class
size, teacher -pupil ratio, opp-
ortunity classes, special educ-
ation, curriculum development,
budgetry matters, professional
development, organization,
evaluation and accountability;
programs and facilities; person-
nel and the public image of
education.
The board will pay member-
ship fees totalling $3, 539.71 --
Ontario School Trustees' coun-
cil fee, $2, 024 and Ontario Pub-
lic School Trustees' Association
$1,515.71.
Approval was given by-laws
dealing with rules of order and
motions at board meetings.
The vice-chairman of the
standing committees, Clarence
McDonald, Exeter, manage-
ment committee, and Mrs.
Mollie Kunder, Seaforth, educ-
ation committee, were appoint-
ed board representatives to the
Trustee -Teacher Administration
Liaison Committee.
Mr. Cochrane, R.B. Dunlop,
Business Administrator; and vice-
chairman, of the board, Wilfred
Shortreed, will attend the prov-
incial salary conference held by
the Ontario School Trustees`
Council in Toronto on February
1 and 2.
Two field trips were approved
10 students from the Cross Coun-
try Ski Club at South Huron
High School on a two- day ex-
cursion to Gravenhurst on Feb-
ruary 9-10 at no cost to the
board. The purpose of the trip
