Avon Maitland School Board, staff look ahead
By Stew Slater
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES -
ADVOCATE
SEAFORTH — Trustees
and senior administrative
staff of the Avon Maitland
District School Board
"look(ed) into the future"
of secondary school pro-
gramming Oct. 10 as part
of a new meeting format
aimed at promoting free -
ranging public discussion.
In what's referred to as
"committee of the whole,
public open session," the
board originally planned
to meet at 5 p.m. on the
second Tuesday of each
month to discuss weighty
issues about which no
decisions are imminent.
Other activities precluded
a kick-off for the meeting
format in September, and
chairperson Meg Westley
— a driving force behind
initiating the meetings —
admitted it may not be
possible for trustees to
gather in committee of the
whole every month.
But on Oct. 10, time was
set aside and trustees
invited senior staff from
the board's Seaforth head-
quarters as well as princi-
pals from South Huron
POLICE BRIEF
Suspension
for driver
SOUTH HURON —
Huron OPP were conduct-
ing radar patrol Oct. 8. An
officer was traveling along
Road 164 in South Huron
when he observed a low
flying 2005 Ford F150
traveling 150 kilometres in
a 80km zone. The driver
was stopped and found to
have been a suspended
driver too but had not
been served notification
yet. A 36 -year-old man of
London will attend
Goderich Provincial Court,
facing one charge of
speeding. He was
informed of his driving
suspension and his dri-
ver's license was seized
and returned to the
Ministry of
Transportation.
District High School,
Mitchell District High
School and Stratford
Northwestern Secondary
School.
"We were just looking
into the future and saying
we'll continue to have
declining enrolment in a
lot of locations," Westley
explained after the meet-
ing. She said the board
recognizes there already
are some schools which
have trouble providing
some specialized pro-

gramming. And if trustees
hope to retain the interest
of students looking for
something other than the
core subjects, such discus-
sion is necessary.
Specifically, according to
Westley, Mitchell high
school's principal
informed trustees about a
limited interest in senior
math courses designed for
university -bound students.
She noted the school
accommodates less than
400 students, and such
difficulties in providing key
courses are expected to
increase as enrolment
declines further.
During the committee of
the whole meeting, partici-
pants were encouraged to
bring forward creative
suggestions, even if they
seemed far-fetched.
According to Westley, sug-
gestions included estab-
lishing specialized centres
of excellence in different
schools across the district
and busing in students

from other communities,
and allowing students to
split their semesters
between two different
schools.
"Of course, this may all
be prohibitively expensive,
but we wanted to have the
suggestions on the table,"
she explained. "Because
you never know, perhaps
there would be enough
savings to pay for those
buses, from not making
capital investments to
build programming in
each school."

attend the meetings, as
well as the regular com-
mittee of the whole, every
second Tuesday of the
month at 8 p.m. in
