Whetherbright children, will benefit from Bill .82 or whether there will be enough money to implement programs were the two major questions asked at the special educa- tion advisory committee a meeting Monday night : at Kincardine . District . Secondary. School. About 15 people attended the meeting set up by the committee on behalf of the Bruce • County Board of Education so the public • could have some input into what type, of pro - .grams they would like to see set up in the public school system: Bill 82 is legislation that suggests major educational changes. The Bill ensures that it is a definite responsibility of all school boards to provide special education for ex- ceptional students. •Exceptional students .are pupils whose behavioural, comrnunica- tional, intellectual, physical or multiple ex- ceptionalities are such that he is considered by a board committee to need placement in a special: education program. A few briefs. were submitted to advisory committee chairman Julian Bayley Monday night. High school teachers concerned KDSS teacher Stu Mowry said teachers at his School had a few major concerns. "We would like to stress that whatever program is put in place, it cannot be in place of the regular . program. We can't see anything being put•in place with the type of funding the ministry is offering." Mr" Mowry said under Bill 82, the ministry of education was offering $125 per pupil .while the Bruce County board is already' spending $157 per pupil. • He added that the teachers he spoke • to feel strongly that the board must be prepared to maintain -qualified staff for teachers to be .in touch with. "Co-ordinators have to be hired," he said. He also sug- gested that the board must be prepared. to supply sabbatical leaves to teachers so they can take courses giving, then° training to deal with exceptional•students. • • "This ;• is all going to cost money," he said. Mr: Mowry said he had already been ask- ed by the Bruce County Board education togive them a list of which students he thinks. are exceptional... • "The challenge of who is exceptional and who isn't has been foisted on us too fast, Haste is not the proper manner to deal with this," he said."What value is• put on our judgement and what IS the liability if we goof," he , asked.. Mr. Mowry also Said he would like to go on record as being opposed to the IQ testing' as being the sole determinate of the gifted. "It doesn't take into account talents and any good educator knows this is not ' a good measure." "If you • talk about .Bill • 82 and mainstreaming, then you need more facilities, and we come back' again to money," he said. • . Mr. Mowry closed his brief with a recom- mendation to the advisory committee. "Start with a good basic remedial math and reading program in this school. We've been asking for this for years -With this type of programwe'd reduce some of our pro- blems by ro- blemsby 70 percent." • Concerned about bright students Most , pa ents at the meeting were con= cerned with "bright" students. One•parent said he felt that students with. learning disabilities were being identified and' then a structured program was set up for that child. 4'It's not so for a bright child." He said there are presently three ways of dealing with a gifted child. They are allowed to work at their own speed, they areadvanc- ed to another grade or some enrichment ac- tivities are provided, • • He said he supported the recommendw tions the Association for Bright Children would be making -that a co-ordinator for bright children be hired by the board so he could develop programs for students that are gifted. A public school teacher said he had been asked to submit a list of . children he felt were gifted, "I submitted a list of 14 names, all of whom I. felt could have used some enrichment classes.
