Times-Advocate, 1979-02-21, Page 130 Silence on French topic There was a resounding silence Monday night when Middlesex County Board of Education was served notice that the French-language in­ struction issue will be back to hound them. Trustees were given copies of a newspaper advertisement which appealed to “all French- speaking parents in Middlesex County (ex­ cluding London).” Readers of a Strathroy newspaper were asked to clip a coupon to be signed by those wan­ ting the county board to provide education in French and to mail the coupons to Hugh MacDonald of Caradoc Street in Strathroy. The advertisement notes that county children cannot attend the French immer­ sion school in London without paying tuition fees. Last fall, the Middlesex board denied the requests of a few Francophone parents that the county board pay the London tuition fees. “To comply with the Education Act, we require the signatures of twenty French speaking parents who wish that their children be educated in the French language”, Mr. MacDonald’s ad says. Middlesex trustees were given excerpts of the Educa­ tion Act which indicate a school board, “shall provide for the use of the French language in instruction”, where it is determined that at least 25 elementary pupils have elected to be taught in French and if they can be assembled into classes of at least 25 pupils.

There might be some difficulty, before an admissions committee is es­ tablished, in determining whether a pupil is actually ‘French-speaking’.” Trustees are also told that English-speaking pupils could be admitted to French immersion classes which have been formed for a minimum of 25 French- speaking children. The newspaper advertise­ ment and administration report were drawn to the attention of trustees, but no one made a comment. Saintsbury By MRS.
