Core french to increase in Perth schools Core French in Perth County's public elementary schools will start a grade earlier next September. The Perth County board of education gave its approval to start the French program in Grade 4. Now, the program starts in Grade 5 for 30 minutes a day. A proposal presented by French consultant Nancy Gamer at the school board's Novem- ber 19 meeting recommended the increase of French time so student* taking Ontario Academic Courses (OAC, formerly known as Grade 13 classes) would have the required number of hours of instruction. Mrs. Garner explained students now. accumulate 900 hours of French from Grades 5 to 12. But, to meet the 1,080 hours needed to get into an OAC, the times have to be increased, However, not all trustees liked the idea of moving French into Grade 4. Milverton area trustee Barbara Herman tried to table the motion approving the French increase until another meeting, There was some concern by trustees the motion couldn't be tabled because this was the 1988-85 school board's last meeting. "There will be no debate or amendments," said chairman David Hammond who accept- ed the motion. It was defeated. "I feel there should be more discussion on alternatives," said Mrs. Herman after introducing her motion. A former school teacher, Mrs. Herman questioned the advisability of starting the French program at Grade 4 for 40 minutes. She said it could be too long a class. She offered another alternative.

"Did you look at that?" asked Mrs. Herman of Mrs. Gamer. Superintendent of program Keith Thomp- son said it had been considered but rejected because the primary grades- Kindergarten to Grade 3 - should be left intact. Wallace Township trustee Dereck Ward told the board when it turned down French immersion two years ago, a promise had been made to increase the core French program. The hiring of five extra French teachers bothered some trustees. However, Mr. Ward said that number is probably lower than the number would have been if they had started a French immersion program. • Stratford trustee Paul Parlee, calling himself a proponent of French language education, said he is -in favor of the additional time. But he warned thinking the program would make money is dangerous. Figures presented by Mrs. Garner indicate for the first year the increase in French would cost $194,617 which includes materials and salaries.. The second year's costs are estimated at $194,272 for salaries and . materials. Only salaries, at $185,500. are considered for the third and subsequent years. To offset these expenses, additional revenue will be received from the federal government. Superintendent of business and finance Bob Noble said the grants have been coming for five years and are expected to continue. He estimates after three years the additional revenue will exceed additional expenditures. Starting in September, French will be taught in Grades 4 to 12 for 40 minutes a day Disaster planning in works A Barrie -type disaster could happen in Perth County and municipal officials want to be prepared. • Leading to that preparedness, Perth County clerk treasurer Jim Bell will be writing to the new municipal councils as soon as they get settled in. At its November 14 meeting, Perth County council approved in principle plans presented by a county disaster planning committee. Following the presentation of emergency planning at the Perth municipal officer's day, the next step is to get agreement from the individual municipalities to go into a county -wide plan. "I'm waiting for the new councils to get in," said Mr. Bell when asked what the status of the plans are. Then he'll write the 14 municipalities. seeking their approval in principle. The municipalities will have to prepare their own emergency plan which would be compatible with the county plan. "The county's role is that of backup." said Warden Oliver McIntosh. Once the 14 municipalities in the county structure agree, an ongoing committee will be set up. This committee's task will be to find out how much it will cost to develop a county plan, The aim is to seek provincial funding to hire an individual or company to prepare the plan. The current disaster planning committee is made up of the warden, Mr Bell. medical officer of health Dr. Susan Tamblyn and administrator Debbie Ballak News deadline Monday 4 p.m. BOB & BETTY'S VARIETY & GIFTS Raduelhaek SEAFORTH 527-1680 "YOUR LOTTERY TICKET CENTRE" DEALER A.S.C.
