Board takes tender Brussels Stockyard Report
The tender of British Petroleum
Oil Ltd. to supply gasoline for
buses owned, by the Huron
County Board of Education was
accepted at Monday's regular
meeting in Clinton,
Chairman Herb Turkheim
explained that the prices quoted
by BP were not the lowest but this
was the only company which
agreed to supply extra equipment
including tanks, pipes, etc.
The current delivered price
quoted by BP is 72.02 cents per
gallon. This price represents a
discount of 5.48 cents at Brook-
side, Grey, Howick and Turn-'
berry and a discount of 5.08 cents
at Stephen and Zurich.
Tenders were received for the
sale of eight surplus used school
buses. Transportation manager
R. L. Cunningham was instructed
to accept all bids except those
which were less than $500.
To Inspect Closed School
As the result of a request to
purchase or rent a closed school
building in Ashfield township, the
Huron Board agreed to have the
management committee bring in
a report on the condition of the
building,
Director John Cochrane said it
takes about a year to go about
selling a closed school and the
local municipality is on the list of
groups which have first chance at
purchase.
Cochrane added, "If a school is
for sale, you must assure the
Ministry of Education that a
replacement is not needed for 10
years." •
Goderich trustee Dorothy
Wallace commented, "It would
be foolish to dispose of this
building with a lot of expected
growth in the area.
New Course at Wingham
The board approved a' request
from F. E. Madill Secondary
School principal R. P. Ritter to
introduce a- new course in anthro-
pology commencing in Sept-
ember, 1976.
Superintendent Don Kenwell
said the anthropology course
would replace ,an ancient history
course now taught at the school.
He said 46 students had showed
interest in anthropology.
Instrumental Music at Clinton
Instrumental music will be
offered at Central Huron Second-
ary School in Clinton during the
1976-77 term. The board agreed
to offer the course.
'Superintendent Ralph Smith
said parents of 23 students had
agreed to pay the rental costs of
instruments. Director John
Cochrane said board policy sti-
pulates a minimum of 25 students
must register initially to have the
course offered.
After considerable discussion,
trustee John Elliott proposed that
the policy be amended to allow
the course to get off the ground.
He said his son . had since'
registered to bring the total to 24
and was sure others would join as
students 'only had three days to
make up their minds.
