Education briefs
Minor changes
Several recommendations regar
ding transportation matters were
presented to the Huron County
Board of Education (HCBE)
trustees by the Management Com
mittee at the meeting on May 6.
The committee had reviewed a
number of matters including
boundary changes and made rec
ommendations they hoped would
lead to a redistribution of bus stu
dents and would tidy up inconsis-i
tencies in elementary and
No bus routes
for town
A motion to provide bus trans
portation for students living north
of the rivers crossing Highway 4 in
Exeter and Wingham was defeated
twice at the May 6 meeting of the
Huron County Board of Education
(HCBE).
In making the recommendation
the first time Management Com
mittee chairman Rick Rompf said
they had considered the matter after
a concern about safety was brought
to them by Transportation Manager
Dennis Harris.
Wingham trustee Liliane Nolan
said that the route is particularly
hazardous in winter as there is not
secondary school attendance in the
northeast comer of Hullett town
ship said committee chairman Rick
Rompf.
The committee had reviewed a
number of boundary adjustments in
the Hullett Central Public School
areas and the general approach was
to seek a clear division between
overlapping boundaries in a manner
that prevented double bus route
scheduling.
The school boundaries affected
are Hullett Central, Blyth Public,
Seaforth and Walton Public
Schools and Seaforth District High
School.
The trustees voted in favour of
the following boundary changes:
Lots 19,20, and 29,30 of Conces
sion 13 in Hullett will be removed
from Blyth school area and be
added to Hullett school area; Lots
2, 3 and South half of 4, Conces
sion 14, will be removed from Hul
lett and become part of the
Seaforth/Walton Public School
catchment area; Lots North half of
4 and 5, Concession 14 will be
removed from Blyth and added to
Seaforth/Walton Public School area
and Lots 6 and 7, Concession 14
okayedj
will be removed from the Seaforth*
District High School area and bel
added to the Central Huron Sec
ondary School area.
The board also agreed that the
process for changing these school
boundaries should include several
steps. A recommendation to the
board to consider a change should
be presented, followed by the pro
vision of general notice to the
school community by the school
and the mailing of information to
concerned parents and landowners
who would be affected by the
change. After consideration and
input the change would be amend
ed or approved at later board meet
ing.
A recommendation was passed
stating that all school buses picking
up students in the northern portion
of Hullett Central Public School
area will be required to remain
within that boundary.
An invitation is to be given to the
Clinton District Christian School
pupils living in Blyth Public
School area, to travel on Blyth bus
routes to the shuttle buses running
south from Blyth and Londesboro,
to the Clinton school.

an appropriate walkway for the
children and little room should a
snowplow pass.
It was noted that informal
arrangements have been in place
for a number of years to accommo
date the need in Exeter and there
might be space available on sec
ondary routes passing this area in
Wingham.
After discussion the board voted
instead to contact the Ministry of
Transportation and the towns'
administrators to tell them their
concerns and request that a safe
walkway be ensured.
In reopening the motion later,
Howick trustee Brian Jeffray said
he would like the board to recon
sider. There were not many chil
dren affected by this and he
couldn't see that the costs to the
board would be that high.
Trustee Norm Pickell said he
would like to see the response from
the towns first before the board
decided to do anything.
Vice-Chair Bea Dawson agreed
saying that she felt the board really
needed to look into a lol of aspects
regarding this before saying they
would support the recommenda
tion.
The motion was voted on a sec
ond time and lost.
Foundry purchases
Stanley Door plant
Wingham's Western Foundry
has finalized its purchase of the
Stanley Door plant adjacent to the
foundry.
The facility is expected to house
a machining line which will be
made out of a Michigan plant. The
line will provide a strategic step in
finishing the cast manifolds which
are currently finished in Michigan
before being sent to automotive
manufacturers.
