French Immersion group speaks to school board
By Stew Slater
SPECIAL TO TI -IE TIMES -ADVOCATE
SEAFORTH — For the fourth year in a row,
Canadian Parents for French (CPF) has appeared
before the Avon Maitland District School Board,
appealing for the expansion of French Immersion
programming into Huron County.
"It would be our pleasure to assist you in the
process (of introducing French Immersion), in order
to limit the use of staff resources," explained CPF
Ontario representative Monika Ferenczy at a meet-
ing Feb. 26.
Ferenczy acknowledged the parent surveys under-
taken by the board in two of the past four years,
which showed the board would not be able to gener-
ate enough per -pupil funding to introduce a program
without subsidizing it using money from other areas
of expenditure.
But she noted CPF met recently
with Education Minister Kathleen
Wynne to stress the importance of
French language instruction, and
deliver 56 recommendations for increasing access to
French Immersion in Ontario.
She told the board that 45 new French Immersion
programs were introduced in Ontario last year,
including the expansion of the Avon Maitland's
Stratford -based offering into the secondary school
level.
"Currently, the largest demand for French
Immersion expansion comes from our rural commu-
nities," Ferenczy said.
She cited the Bluewater District School Board
(Bruce and Grey counties) and the Grand Erie
District School Board as organizations that had
found ways to bring French Immersion to rural set-
tings, despite perceived funding limitations.
"We urge the Avon Maitland District School Board
to confer with other school boards with rural config-
urations to devise a model through which French
Immersion can be offered in Huron County."
Trustees did not immediately respond to Ferenczy's
delegation.
