Student r xfio is the same Despite discussion during the past month by the Huron County Board of Education members, the student -teacher ratio for the 1976-77 school year will remain the same as suggested earlier. At a special meeting Wednes- day night, the board accepted a recommendation from the ad hoc negotiating committee that Director of Education John Cochrane finalize the staff for the fall term. At the elementary level from grades one to eight, a maximum of 313.4 teachers will be employ- ed. This is a decrease of 6.6 teachers from the current term. The 313.4 teachers does not include teachers for home econ- omics, industrial arts, special education and kindergarten. The kindergarten ratio is one- half teacher for each 28 pupils or fraction thereof. The employment of 313.4 teachers will generate a pupil - teacher ratio of 22 to 1.

News photo. Hensall 'bulging at the seams' By HILDA M. PAYNE The first meeting of a series of Workshops being held to draw up a secondary plan for Hensall was held at the Public School on Tuesday, April 20 with the reeve, ,John Baker in the chair. The Huron County Plan is a general plan for the whole county and in that plan suggests that Hensall may become a growth area should the commun- ity desire such a change. A plan of Hensall drawn up for the meeting showed that Hensall is "bulging at the seams" in such areas as resi- dential, industrial and commer- cial. A Secondary Plan would provide a blue print for the future by designating future roads, sewers, parks, schools, industrial areas, etc. Ronan Dzus, assistant to County Planner Gary Davidson, gave an outline of the general research undertaken for the background of the Secondary Plan; specific research will be detailed in later workshops. Two types of info]. oration were used for this general outline, charts and maps. These show the physical and economic factors to be considered in different subject areas. These areas are: a) physiography -the topogra- phy of the land, erosion areas, drainage and such like, b) characteristics of the people - their concerns. growth of popu- lation trends, age groups, all of which affect housing, industrial opportunities, schools, for examples, c) urban structure- the existing pattern of land use shows a conglomeration of residential, commercial, industrial, institu- tional, parks, schools. Resident- ial consists of single family dwellings, apartments, mobile homes, homes with businesses, historical homes and new homes. d) economic bases- the activity Holiday Friday All teachers associated with the Huron County Board .of Education will be participating in a Professional Development Day, Friday April 30 at Victoria Public School in Goderich. The PD day was originally scheduled in January but was postponed because of inclement weather. Superintendent of . Education Bob Allan reports that Friday's program is unique in that all presentations are being made by Huron County teachers. taking place in Hensall busi- nesses and industry. e) servicing- water, sanitary sewers, drainage. f) financing capability- con- sideration of Hensall's ability to finance and accept growth. In some of the areas consider- ation has to be given as to wheth- er remedial action is needed and if so, in what direction? Are more parking areas needed, docs Hensall need an industrial park and other specifics planned. Is Hensall preserving her Heri- tage? Public values and opinions on all these points arc needed to produce the best possible future for Hensall. The Secondary Plan should be a combination of many elements and so tie the community together. The end product will be the result of the work of the council, the plan- ning board and the effort of the local people and will be a vision of' what is possible. At the discussion following the following points were brought out. The present structure is a mixture of factors- it must he determined in each area AN hich factor is most important and allow that use to take over the area. No one will be forced to change their property but future build- ings must conform to the Second- ary Plan. Most interest was shown in possible expansion which is limited within the present bound- aries- a workshop on expansion is to be held on May 11. At present the total of full-time jobs in Hensall is 843 and part- time 15 but only a small percent- age of these workers live in Hensall, Sewers presently being built will allow smaller lots and are eliciting frequent inquiries from developers. If growth is desired, the Secondary Plan can create conditions agreeable to growth. Minimum growth suggested in the Huron County Plan is for a populatiim q' 1300. Next --industrial development.
