16 trustees since redistribution
Trustees on the Huron County Board of
Education have been advised of their
redistribution and the accommodation of
two additional trustees to bring their
number to 16, in what Director of education
Bob Allan called "one of the most signifi-
cant political changes that could happen to
the board."
The clerks of the three highest populated
municipalities in Huron County, namely the
towns of Goderich and Exeter and the
Township of Stephen, formed a committee
in early August to discuss trustee distribu-
tion for the HCBE. Bill 125, which was pass-
ed in June, provided for trustees across On-
tario to be distributed according to popula-
tion rather than on the basis of property tax
assessment. This necessitated the
redistribution, and two trustees were added
to the local board to reduce the workload on
existing trustees through a board decision in
June.
The implications of the distribution are
largely political, as most of the trustees will
be running in different electoral districts in
the upcoming municipal elections in
November. The current trustees could also
be forced to run against each other if their
home addresses are within the same chang-
edelectoral boundaries.
Some of the other political implications
are: the former division of Seaforth, Hullett,
and McKillop which was represented by
Graeme Craig and John Jewitt, is now divid-
ed into two separate divisions including
Blyth, Blyth and Hullett, and Seaforth and
McKillop -each with one trustee.
Another change of note is that the Town of
Goderich has a population that warrants
two trustees. Prior to the redistribution
there was one trustee for the Town of
Goderich, and.. a second representing Col-
borne and Goderich.

SPECIAL REPORT
the HCBE for a campaign to lobby the pro-
vincial government, but the board agreed to
table the request pending further
information.
The OPSTA claims the money is needed to
fund a campaign to protect the right of
school boards to tax commercial and in-
dustrial assessment. This right is currently
being challenged 'by the Ontario Govern-
ment, or more specifically, the Macdonald
commission. The contribution requested of
school boards is 1/100 of one per cent of the
board's overall budget -about $4,800 for the
HCBE.
SUMMER SCHOOL 1988
"Summer school could be thought of as
easy marks for dumb kids by teachers from
the bottom of the barrel."
Frank MacDonald, principal of the sum-
mer school, says these words reflect the
type of negative attitude he sees in people
who don't think summer school is a viable
way for students to make up a year's
failure. They ask how a person who fails a
year can make up his grades in three weeks.
Mr. MacDonald and Janice Buist, who was a
program supervisor at summer school this
year, attended before the board to tell how.
Mr. MacDonald says the students who
come back for more schooling during the
summer have all failed -but they have come
to grips with their failure and decided to do
something about it. He calls them motived
kids, and this motivation combined with a
concentrated three hours of study per day,
plus homework, gives them what they need
to get their credits.
The delegation remarked the staff at sum-
mer school is generally a good mix of new
teachers as well as experienced ones who
come back year after year. Generally, he
says summer" school attracts an en-
thusiastic staff who enjoy the low teacher -
pupil ratios in their summer classes.
"The bottom line;" Mr. MacDonald says,
"is that it's well worth doing."
There were a total of 167 students who at-
tended summer school in 1988, which was a
decline of 18 per cent over the previous year.
No reason for this can be given other than
the guess that the many summer jobs
available to students this summer had an in-
fluence. Of the 167 students who attended
summer school all but seven were
successful.
OPSTA CHARTERING MEETING
A special meeting of members of the Nor-
thern Ontario School Trustees Association,
the Ontario Public School Trustees Associa-
tion and the Association of Large School
Boards of Ontario will be held on September
c24 in Toronto. The purposes of the meeting
are to pass a resolution authorizing the
merger of the operations of the three
boards, and to consider the resolutions of
the Board of Directors of the OPSTA and the
Executive Committee of the ALSBO
authorizing their amalgamation pursuant to
the Corporations Act.

DAY CARE IN SCHOOLS
The HCBE received correspondence from
the Toronto Board of Education stating that
board had adopted a resolution stating:
"That the Ministry of Community and
Social Services be requested to provide
financial assistance and a financial plann-
ing service to public non-profit Day Care
Boards located in schools and operated by
boards of education in the province."
No action was taken by the local board on
this issue, but Director of Education Bob
Allan commented that Day Care in schools
would be a good thing and this is a good
cause for the Toronto board to champion.
