Junior kindergarten
to start in fall
In spite of reservations by some
trustees, the Bruce County Board of
Education is going ahead with a Junior
Kindergg.a pilot project this fall.
The board is setting up what it calls
low cost pilot projects in areas where
schools have the morn and parents sup-
port the project. The "pilots will be
monitored as the board decides how to
implement county -wide Junior
Kindergarten over the next five years.
Trustee Barry Schmidt was among
ol cerns at the board's
meeting- in ie on February .d.
those vIIe'sl
csnscerned OddOddconcost and benefits of
the new program, and the support it will
get from the public. •
A recent survey by the Elderaie Home
and School Association near Chesley
showed 80 per cent' of parents would not
send their children to Junior
ICindergarten even if the service .was'
available. The parents nto concern
• about long bus ride, the effect of
sen-
ding children ldren into a structured setting at
such an early age, and •cost.
The association- concluded Junior
Kindergarten would only be a "free baby-
sitting service" supported by a minority
of local parents. -
"1 have serious concerns," 'Schmidt
said about the Junior Kindergarten pro=
posal. "I've. been reading a lot lately, and
many ofthe articles are not supportive of
' the value of Junior Kindergarten.
Schmidt proposed that the board survey
county parents, and if support was lack-
ing
acking for Junior Kindergarten, he said the
board should •petition the province" to
allow it to opt out'of the mandatory
program.
."If the government is so sold on Junior.
Kindergarten, why is attendance op-
tional? It should be'eptional for the board ,
if it's optional for the parents."
Chairman. • David Inglis admitted the
board has concerns about the program,
but faces the dilemma of having to com-
ply with provincial orders to capitalize on
available grants.
The province . has promised building •
grants for newspaces needed for Junior
Kindergarten and up to $3,000 of the
estimated $8,000 Cod of equipping each

The Ekbnslie survey showed some
parents are already driving their
Kindergarten students to gaol rather
than have thein face a 70 -minute bus
ride.
The board briefly considered an offer
by a Port Elgin nursery school operator
to int Junior Kindergarten in ex
The a amociaursery schoolstl also endorktrOSS the sed
nursery schools as an alternative to
Junior Kindergarten forparents who
want it. •
But, the proposal was quickly turned
down by the board.

don't think the ministry would allow it'

will be located, and a revised capital

The committee said Junior
Kindergarten should be phased in over
five . years "pending on receipt of a
satisfactory level of funding for. capital
projects to accommodate these classes,"
but the chairman would not give specifics
on what a satisfactory level of funding
would • be.
