The Huron-Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board will he advertising for a
supervisory officer and special
educational consultant for the
next school term.
The decision to advertise was
reached after haggling for almost
two hours on the subject and two
recorded votes during a special
meeting in Seaforth Thursday to
study a proposal f or
reorganization as presented by
the Superintendent of Education,
John Vintar,
Mr. Vintar made the proposal
to engage a supervisory officer to
replace the special education
consultant who has resigned and
to fill the vacancy in the position
of primary consultant,
Because of major curriculum
changes by the ministry for the
primary and junior division
which require in-school follow-
through supervision, guidance
and evaluation and for leadership
training of principals. Mr, Vintar
suggested these could be im-
plemented with the assistance of
a supervisory officer. He said
about 90 percent of a supervisory
officer's time would be utilized in
the schools,
David Teahen of Stratford
asked if it would not be trying to
squeeze three into one. He said he
thought the junior division was
being deprived. He asked what
primary was involved and was
told by Mr. Vintar that kin-
dergarten to grade 3 is primary.
Ted Geoffrey asked where the
consultants really worked and
did they visit the schools
frequently. Mr. Vintar told him
consultants go into a school by
request only, either by the
principal or the teacher.
Howard Shantz of Stratford
asked, "If we hire additional high
priced help how do we get rid of
them if they are not to our ad-
vantage?"
Mr. Vintar replied, "We have
to work together as a team" and
Mr. Shantz agreed, "We should
be pulling together".
Joseph Looby of Dublin said he
was in favour of another
supervisory officer who could be
in the school 90 percent of the
time,
Mr. Shantz replied that the
Stratford taxpayers did not want
to meet this extra expense of a
supervisory officer when both a
primary and a special education
consultant are going to be
needed.
F. J. Vere of Stratford stated
that if a supervisory officer or a
consultant were hired it should be
on a probationary basis.
Michael Connolly, chairman,
stated the board should advertise
for both supervisory officer and
special education consultant and
leave it open to take an alter-
native, maybe the better of the
two.
Mr. Teahen said, "I can't see
how we can support having a
supervisory officer when we need
a special educational consultant,
Could we hire a person to carry
out both duties?"
Questioned by Mr. Connolly if
anyone in the system had written
his supervisory papers, Mr.
Vintar said no one had.
Vincent Young of Goderich
asked if principals are in the
classrooms supervising or if they
are teaching full time, Mr. Vintar
told him the principals try to do
the best they can in the time
allotted for supervision.
Mr. Looby said that a super-
visory officer should be hired and
"then we'll know what is going on
within the system. Supervision is
necessary."
Mr. Teahen said a consultant
with supervisory qualifications
should be hired, Mr. Shantz asked
why the principals couldn't be in
charge of the schools and riot
have another supervisory officer
above them. He suggested hiring
the consultant this year and next
year reviewing the case again to,
consider hiring a supervisory
officer.
Joseph Looby made a motion to
advertise for two persons, a
supervisory officer and a special
education consultant. In the vote,
recorded at the request of Mr.
Shantz, the motion was defeated.
Supporting it were Oscar Kieffer
of RR 1, Bluevale; Ted Geoffrey
of RR 2, Zurich; Mr. Looby;
Arthur Haid, RR 4, Listowel and
Mr. Young,
Voting against were F. J. Vere,
Pat Carty, Howard Shantz and
David Teahen, all of Stratford;
Gordon Ball, Donald Crowley and
Francis Hicknell, RR 5, Seaforth.
Following more talk Mr,
Hicknell made the second motion
to advertise for a supervisory
officer and this motion carried in
a recorded vote 7-5, Supporting
were: Kieffer, Geoffrey, Looby,
Haid, Hicknell, Crowley and
Young, Against were: Vere,
Carty, Shantz, Ball and Teahen.
The third motion, to advertise
for a special education consultant
was carried, 7-5, but a recorded
vote was not requested. One
trustee questioned the legality of
this third motion as being out of
order since the passing of the last
two motions was the same as the
first motion which was defeated.
Mr. Connolly said it was all right
because they were worded dif-
ferently.
The Huron-Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board Monday turned down a
proposal by a vote of 11-2 to hold
school board meetings in the 19
schools in the two counties on a
rotating basis.
Michael Connelly, RR 3,
Kippen chairman of the board, in
his inaugural address said one of
the priorities for the year was in
the area of communication
between board, teachers and
parents and spoke of the im-
portance of keeping channels of
communication open.
Following his address, Howard
Shantz of Stratford, suggested
one way of keeping com-
munication channels open bet-
ween the board and the parents
would be for the second board
meeting each month to be held in
one of the 19 schools in the two
counties until all the schools were
covered.
When the proposal was brought
up again at the meeting Monday,
it was suggested it would be in-
convenient for the administrative
staff to have all the additional
information necessary for the
meetings available at the school
where the meeting would be held.
(Often during meetings it is
necessary for a member of staff
to go to the files for material to
provide information for a trustee
during a discussion.)
The cost factor was considered
- theincreasedmileagecostswould
be considerable for the trustees
to travel to one end of the two
counties rather than for them to
meet at a central point such as
the board office in Seaforth,
Michael Connolly said that if
any delegation wished to attend a
particular meeting he would be
happy to accommodate it.
The general consensus seemed
to be that as no requests for
meetings to be held in any par-
ticular area had been received
the meetings continue in the
board room with Howard
Shantz and David Teahen op-
posed.
Joseph Looby of Dublin em-
phasized to the press that anyone
is welcome to attend a regular
board meeting, but added they
Prevent fires, Take the chip off
your shoulder.
would not be able to attend a
committee-of-the-whole meeting.
The property and maintenance
committee was voted $5,000
additional to the $19,000 already
granted that committee, so that
the necessary maintenance work
such as repairing and painting
can be completed,
While the teachers under the
jurisdiction of the board hold a
professional development day on
May '31, the janitors of the 19
schools in the system will be
asked to. attend. an in-service
training session, at St. James
Separate School in Seaforth from
9 a.m. to 4p.m. with 'Ed Rowland,
maintenance officer, in charge of
the program. Lunch and mileage
costs will be provided the
janitors.
An English woman visiting
Canada for the first time felt
right at home on her first day
here.
Peg Robinson who with her
husband Len spent a week at
Huron Park said while having
breakfast at the Royal York in
Toronto she was pleased to find
one of her favorite foods.
On the menu was "bubble and
squeak." Mrs. Robinson said this
food is popular in England at a
transport shop and is a mixture of
fried potatoes and vegetables.
The Robinson's spent a week at
the home of Mr. and Mrs, Harold
Sissons at Huron Park. Mr.
Robinson is Mrs. Sisson's uncle.
While it was the first trip to
Canada for Peg Robinson it was
the second time for her husband.
He was a member of the Royal
Air Force and spent most of 1943
as a pilot trainee in Western
Canada, mostly at Gimli,
Manitoba.
His vivid recollection of
Western Canada is the "squads of
mosquitos" which bombarded on
warm nights.
TheRobinsons were impressed
with the spontaneous friendliness
of Exeter and area residents.
"Everybody has been so kind to
us. Makes us feel right at home.
