Ministry responds to JK concerns
The trustees Of the Huron County
Board of Education received a let
ter from the Minister of Education
Marion Boyd, responding to their
concerns regarding the issue of
Junior Kindergarten.
Ms Boyd stated that it is the
intent of the government to restruc
ture education, changing it to meet
the social and economic needs, pro
viding greater continuity in pro
grams and guaranteeing equal
access to quality program for stu
dents across the province.
She noted that JK will give
young children opportunities to
develop both physically and social
ly and begin learning language and
thinking skills. The ministry
believes as well that it will help
them to develop positive altitudes
that will help them in later years.
In a report in 1985 on early pri
mary education, researchers calcu
lated that for every $1,000 invested
by society in programs like JK, the
return is $7,000 through lower
costs for education and special edu
cation, fewer legal processes as a
result of delinquency and through
increased lifetime earning of pro
gram participants.
Ms Boyd mentioned the govern
bride, Jody Horton, sister of the
bride and Jayne Ritchie, sister of
the groom.
Best man was Edward Riley,
friend of the groom. Ushers were
John Watson, brother of the groom;
Donny Horton, brother of the bride;
Dwight Chalmers, friend of the
ment has indicated a strong finan
cial commitment to the early years
restructuring initiative. She stated
that boards providing JK would
receive operating grants from the
province to cover the expenses des
ignated as "full recognized costs"
of the half-day programs. Local
ratepayers, she said, only pay for
any expenditure above the amount
recognized for grant.
In preparing for JK, she said that
school boards had developed poli
cies to respond to safety issues. "In
rural areas, the safety of pupils
crossing busy highways and travel
ling extended distances on buses
has always been of special concern
to school boards," Ms Boyd stated.
Trustee Bea Dawson said she
was very disappointed with the
response. "She told us she knew
there was a safety concern, but she
didn't tell us what can be done
about it," she said.
Trustee Norm Pickell said, "I am
disappointed as well, but I don't
think we can expect any belter
response. I think we are going to
have to let it drop."
In June, the ministry released the
Early Years Consultation Paper ,
addressing many issues around
groom and Dale Whitfield, cousin
of the groom. Soloist was Kim
Watson, sister of the groom.
Following the ceremony a beauti
ful reception was held at the Varna
Community Centre.
The happy couple resides in
Toronto.
which the consultation process will
evolve. Ms Boyd anticipates that
new and related issues will come
about through this process
In presenting the paper to the
trustees Program Superintendent
Arnold Mathers said that in order to
develop a balanced report 16 par
ents, 16 trustees and 16 primary
teachers will be completing the
guide. The paper was prepared to
promote reflection and discussion
of the educational needs of four and
five-year-old children and to identi
fy issues for a consultation that will
lead to the development of new
policy directions for JK and
Kindergarten in Ontario. It covers
topics like how children learn, what
type of programs and what type of
teacher education is required.
The Information is to be com
pleted by February 1992.
As HCBE trustees have taken a
strong stand against JK in the past,
Mr. Jewitt questioned Mr. Mathers
as to what the response would be
from the ministry should the board
state they are still not interested.
"It is my conjecture that this is
another way the ministry has taken
to explain reality," Mr. Mathers
answered."
