Since the board felt it would be within the right of every rural-centred kindergarten class to have the same advantages if Stephen was granted its request, a cost study was completed to show what the service would cost if it was implemented across the entire county, ex- cluding those schools in towns where transportation is not -a factor. The study as based on a board proposal at the last re- gular boatd meeting to provide half-day kindergarten trans- portation from September to the end of December. From Janla, uary 1 to the end of June, tt students would attend kinder- garten classes on a full-day every other day basis. The study revealled that-these noon-hour runs would cost the taxpayers an estimated $1,357 per bus for the four months. It was estimated that 27 buses would be required to implement the service county wide, at an es- timated cost of $36,650 extra to the taxpayers. "Are the benefits to be derived worth $36,000?" asked vice-chairman Bob Elliott. "This is what we have to ask ourselves because the motion could have this effect. Director of education John D. Cochrane stated that it wasn't too likely that many township schooli would want to go on the half-day every day system for kindergarten. I think it is fair to say that when this thing hit the papers, there was quite a reaction from the principals and teachers," said Cochrane. "They are con- verted to the alternate day kindergarten classes and are perfectly satisfied to remain on that system." That is their perrogative," pointed out Jim Taylor. "It isn't their perrogative the Way the motion reads," said Mr. Elliott.

If the motion was passed, the board would be ob- ligated to accept directives from the parents. I don't think that's what we are here for." "We're not thinking of the students," noted John Henderson. "We're thinking of the costs." "None of us are convincediP that the youngsters suffer a hard- ship by attending kindergarten for a full• day every other day," stated. the chairman. "Is the cost involved too great for the little bit of extra help offered to the children."' "I would like to seethe poll(!y treat all schools in the county alike," insisted Mr. Elliott. Gordon Moir referredtto cor- respondence from the minister of education urging school boards to clamp down on spending. A motion was made that kindergarten transportation re* main the same as at present in the county with transportation arrangements in McKillop to be assessed at the time of closing the one-room schools. This motion was auto- matically defeated when board members were tied six to sitcom the issue. Another motion was then introduced to approve the cost survey with the principals and the kindergarten teachers to decide whether kindergarten be held on alternate days year round or on half days from the) first of September until the end Of December and on alternate days from the first of January to the end of June. That motion was also defeated. The Successful motion 16 standardize the alternate day program in the rural schools across the county beginning Jan- uary 1, 1971 was then introduced and passed.

(Staff Photo) NEWS OF CROMARTY B of E Discusses Shorter Meetings Huron County kindergarten transportation differences will be eliminated by September 1971 . . . or at least by the time the one-room McKillop schools close next year. 'Members of Huron County , Board of Education meeting Mon- day evening in Clinton voted eight to four in favor of a mo- tion that witl put all kindergar- tens in the county on an all day, every other day basis by Sept- ember 1, 1971 or upon complet- ion of the Seaforth addition, whichever comes first. Beginning in January 1971, all kindergartens in schools where transportation is a factor, • will be held on alternate days. However, the board stipulated that McKillop kindergarten students will be permitted to attend half-day every day kindergarten _classes until the McKillop schools are closed. After that date, McKillop child- ren will go on the alternate day kindergarten plan. Chairman John Levis re- marked that it might seem as though the board was granting a concession to McKillop students, but he-pointed out that McKillop students are still attending one- room schools too. You're providing a little extra in one sense, " he said, "but you're providing less in another sense. If you want to justify your actions an d ease your consciences, you might look at it this way." The motion was decided upon recorded vote. Those members in favor were Chairman John Lavis,Gordon Moir,John Taylor, Mrs. J. W. Wallace, John Broad- foot, Donald McDonald, Bob Elliott and Sohn Henderson. Those opposed were Garnet Hicks, Clarence McDonald, Marilyn Kunder and Jim Taylor.
