Students entering
Grade 13 in the Huron
County school sytem now
have a guarantee that the
subjects they wish to
study will be available.
School 'board trustees
endorsed a motion at the
regualr monthly meeting
in Clinton, Monday
calling for a policy
change relating to the
subjects available to
Grade 13 students.
The new recom-
mendation will' provide
every student entering
Grade 13 the opportunity
to select from a core of 10
subjects. The core
program will allow any
student to enter an
Ontario University.
Previously, with a wide
range of subject options
available to students, it
was simply too costly to
offer a choice.
The core program will
consist of 10 subjects;

Administrator, Peter
Gryseels, explained that
if a few students wanted a
subject not included in
the core but their number
were insufficient to
warrant a classroom
situation, the course
would still be offered.
"The principal has
many options. But with
this policy the course
must be offered or made
available," he said. "It
will now be offered in
some form at the same
school."
The options available to
a student selecting a
subject outside the core
group are; nightschool or
I correspondence courses.
' In the past, some,
students have tran-
sferred to different
schools for a subject not
offered in their own
school.
Director of Education,
John Cochrane, said
students in Grade 12
would have to select their
Grade 13 subjects in
January. "Now we are
saying plan the year
before so we know what
subjects the students
want, Then we won't have
to pull the rug out from
anybody."
Gryseels explained that
under old policy and
teaching agreements, 12
students were required
for a subject or they were
simply out of luck.
