The HCBE has a committee working on
opening exercises, and is currently seeking
input from principals in the system. John
Jewitt, Board chairman, recommends that
parents who want their concerns heard, talk
to their local public school principals, and
the principals will report to the Board
committee.
Mr. Jewitt invited the parent delegation to
attend board meetings and observe progres-
sion on this issue, however he said there is
little room for public input at this stage.
"The decision rests with the board, said
Mr. Jewitt. "Having community meetings
will not speed things or necessarily ensure
thateveryone is going to be heard."
Mr. Jewitt also said that a decision has
been made by the courts. The board's role
now is to decide what prayers or readings
should be Used for opening religious exer-
cises which reflect the spirit of the court
rulings.
"No matter what we agree with, many of
the decisions of the day have been made by
the court of the land," said the chairman.
Trustee Norman Pickell added that if the
board ignored the Court of Appeal decision,
it could be found in contempt of court.
SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR
In other Board business, the 1989-90 school
year calendar was approved by trustees and
will contain the followinh , ..red
components:
The school yea •wn
September 5 and e.. nlvl
There will be a muu r tear 114
days.
Professional develops. r ::
designated according w . _r.uu., or panel
needs, up to a total of nine days.
Secondary schools may designate up to 19
days as examination days.
SCHOOL DAMAGE REPORT
The annual school daria.
reviewed by the Buard. TOL, u,•
$12,500 to schools, primarily caused L, an-
dalism, represented a reuuctwn ui approx-
imately46,400 from the previous year.
Director of Education Bob Allan pointed
out that the vandalism in Huron Schools is
quite minimal compared to many boards.
He said he has heard of boards where
special programs are implemented to com-
bat vandalism once over $20,000 damage has
been done to a single school.
PORTABLE CLASSROOMS
In the matter of space requirements when
the school year begins in September 1989,
the Board reviewed loading capacity for its
elementary schools.
It was noted that action must be taken at
public schools in Blyth, Brussels and Turn -
berry Central to ensure the preservation of
library space. Colborne Central, East
Wawanosh, Grey Central, Hensall,
Hohnesville, Seaforth and Hullett Central
public schools would be required to forfeit or
reduce special education space effective
September 1989. And it was noted that por-
tables to be placed at Victoria, Wingham
and Robertson Memorial public schools
could wait for one additional year.
The board passed a motion to apply for
Ministry of Education financial support for
the acquisition of portable classrooms or
alternative additional space needed to meet
accommodation needs. •
MUSEUM ARCHIVES
The Board passed a motion approving the
transfer of the historical education records
to the Huron County Museum archives.
In 1983 the HCBE transferred its early
records to the Archives of Ontario, but since
that time Huron County has set up its own
archives in Goderich.
Returning the records to Huron County
makes them more accessible to local
historians and genealogists who are the
primary users of the records, and makes
them more readily available to the Board if
they should need to consult them.
Mr. Allan commented that the records are
interesting :and old , documents, some of
them recording accounting in pounds and
pence.
