Superintendent of Program, William Eckert, said the theme of Education Week this year will be Growing with Dignity. He said a teacher representative from each school will be named by the principal: and this committee of county representatives will meet Wednesday to discuss various activities. Each representative will return to his or her school to plan with the principal and other teachers what that school will do during the week. When a decision is made the plans will be submitted back to the county committee which will co-ordinate the activities .and publish a booklet outlining, the whole program. This list of activities will be available to the parents. Trustee Arthur Haid of R.R.4, Listhwel, will represent the board on the county Education Week committee. A request from John McCarroll for permission to visit the separate schools in Stratford to present the Young Olympian program was held over 'until the next meeting of • the board on February 14 in order to secure more information. Vincent Young, Goderich trustee, chairman of the transpor- tation committee, recommended that James Spence Read be appointed school bus driver of the board-owned vehicle at Holy Name -of Mary School at St. Airys, subject to his successful completion of his driver's examination and obtaining his school bus driver's licence. He will succeed Walter Kilgallin, custodian at the school, who has been driving on a temporary basis in addition to his custodial duties. When it was' stated. Mr. Read would be taking the three trips a day - morning, noon and after school -- this raised some questions - among trustees who seethed to have ' forgotten that noon ,hour busing was done in the system. It is also done at Goderich. Trustee Michael Connolly of Kippen said he thought "we should take a harder look into noon hour busing". He did not think it was right for it to be done in some areas only, Mr. Young said it was done for these children as they were more than a mile from ' school. "Because of distance they had to be bused. Otherwise they might have gone to the nearby public school." • • Mr. Young said this was looked into constructively last year, but anyone over a mile froni the school should come forward if they wished to be considered for noon-hour busing. However, Mr. Young said where noon-hour busing is done he did not think "it worthy of changing for the few dollars we would save." John Vintar, Director of Education, reported the 1977 fee for the Ontario Separate School Trustees' Council was increased by 8.5 per cent or about $300 for a charge of $4,447.00. He said the board was invited to submit articles if desired. Chairman Mickey Vere said the conference of the Stratford Leisure Advisory 'Council will -be held February 17 at 7:30 13.M. in Stratford and invited any trustees to attend if they wished. The board supported a reso- lution from' the Niagara South Board of Education that with the sale of surplus buildings and properties there would not be any grant deductions. The board supported . the Hastings-Prince Edward County Separate School Board resolution on the concern about porno- graphy. Mr. Vintar was asked to contact the Dean of Huron-Perth Deanery to ask if there was any unified effort against pornography being planned in the area. Michael Connolly, expressing concern about snow loads on school roofs and safety of roofs, was told that a cheek was made by Kyles, Kyles & Garratt of Stratford last fall and a report made to the Minisry that all schools in the syst em in Huron and Perth met safety regulations. All principals will be asked to check roofs for snow, problems.
