Education Week will be
marked by activities in the
separate schools under the
jurisdiction of the Huron-Perth
County Roman Catholic , Separate
School Board, it was learned at a
board meeting in Dublin Monday.
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.
