The Perth County Board of Education eliminated any chance at its April 5 meeting, when in a 13 to 3 vote it turned down a request for a pilot project for French Immersion in Stratford. The subject can't be brought back before the board for another three months. thus even if the board does approve a pro- gram at that time. it will be too late to implement for the coming school year. Before engaging in its own lengthy debate, the board heard arguments on both sides of the issue from the public. Dr. Philip McCabe of Stratford, heading the parent group in favor of French Immersion spoke again to the board. "There is no acceptable reason why French Immer- sion can't exist here in September 1983," said Dr. McCabe. The opposing public view was presented to the board by Elroy Bartman of RRI. Gow- anstown. He presented board chairman Dereck Ward with a petition signed by 742 people whom he said "are not ignorant of the issue", Mr. Bartman also pointed out that 35 people from the north end of the county had accomp- anied him "We -are not opposed to the Frcnch core program. We are not bigots or kooks." empha- sized Mr. Bartman address- ing concerns that have been raised through letters to the editors in various county newspapers. The Wallace Township res- ident outlined concerns of those who signed the peti- tion. Additional costs necces- sitated by such a, program for such things as books. class- room space and increased French consultant time were noted by Mr. Bartman. "Some children don't have readers," said Mr. Bartman. "The silent majority have stood up." stated Mr. Bart - man. McKillop people visit in Brucefield MRS.
