Times-Advocate, 1981-09-02, Page 19By JACK RIDDELL, MP? On the subject of the sharing of facilities and programs by various schools etc., the Project has recommended the removal of existing barriers to co- operation. It has recommended: 40. That training programs leading to employment be operated co-operatively by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, and other Ministries, in. conjunction with appropriate representation from business and industry. 41. That such co-operative action ensure that efficient use is made of existing facilities, and that, where feasible, school boards be encouraged to share Jack's jottings Want existing barriers removed from sharing facilities, particularly ex- pensive technical facilities, with colleges, industrial plants, and offices. 42. That legislation be introduced which would allow the Ministry of Education to appropriate a surplus school building needed by another board or to take other action that may be recommended to obtain the most effective use of available facilities. 43. That schools and school boards be furthur en- couraged to work with municipal governments and local agencies offering education or recreational programs to develop guidelines for facility sharing, these guidelines to include suitable cost-sharing arrangements and methods of avoiding duplication of resources. The concept of "con- tracting out" - the actual purchase of programs by one school or agency from another - raises questions related to teacher cer- tification and responsibility for granting the credit. This issue is closely related to the clarification of the roles of colleges and secondary schools. It is therefore recom- mended: 44. That existing legislation be amended to permit school boards to enter into formal agreements with the colleges of applied arts and technology and other bodies for the provision of services from one to another. 45. That school boards be encouraged to examine the possibilities for cooperative agreements now permitted under The Education Act, 1974. 46. That the Ministry of Education encourage school boards to share the cost of consultants and co- ordinators and perhaps iupply incentive funding to encourage such sharing. New and improved methods of offering certain programs must be devised, particularly in sparsely populated areas, in small schools and in courses with very low enrolments. The Project recommends: 47. That the Ministry of Education bring together TV Ontario and the Ministry's Correspondence Education Section to discuss the production of alternative courses, particularly to ensure the maintenance of programs threatened by declining enrolement. 48. That the Ministry of on's Correspondence E ucat on Section be per- mitted to supply school boards with course materials on a cost -recovery basis. 49. That with all alter- native learning programs in which students are not regularly assigned to a class, the student be assigned to a teacher within the school monitor progress and offer counsel and instruction as required. 50. That alternative methods of earning credits be reviewed regularly by schools and school boards to ensure that quality and standards are maintained.. 51. That the special and useful role of the alternative schools and programs established by school boards be examined with a view to accommodating a wider variation in parental and student expectations of the secondary schools. 52. That, where ap- propriate, school -related packages be designed to accommodate the educational and vocational goals of students in order to provide a practical incentive for them to continue their studies. Such packages "build in" relationships among courses which might not be present if the subjects were taught independently. 53. That the Ministry of Education be prepared to approve on an experimental basis "community -related packages" which may be developed jointly by teachers and community personnel. 54. That schools offer credit courses which are concentrated and practical in content and designed chiefly to meet the needs of the work -place. These courses could provide both academic upgrading and training in specific skills, and should be short enough to enable students on Jeave from jobs to return to work reasonably quickly. 55. That schools recognize that many students will follow a pattern of leaving school for work for a period of time and then return, and that schools therefore develop procedures to enable these students to return to school.

He is call- ed on regularly to demonstrate his models and to participate in seminars and meetings concerned with conservation. As an example of his per- sonal commitment to demonstarting conservation practices to interested lan- downers, Alexander, on his own expense, has accom- panied his displays to the last three provincial ploughing matches. The former farmer of 30 years began serving as Drainage Commisssioner for Hullet Township in the County of Huron in 1974.

He served on the Reforestation and Land Use Advisory Board during his first three years and has been a member of the Water Management Advisory Board for the past three years. To recognize Alexander's personal efforts to improve drainage practices and reduce soil erosion in the province. the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association has dedicated a conservation award in his name.

Marlborough St. resident Al Flynn presented an offer of 1500 to purchase an area having 30 feet of frontage between his house and the drain. Flynn presently rents the entire lot for $5 a year .and he provides maintenance on the property. In moving to have the matter turned over to com- mittee. Councillor Jay; Campbell noted that there would be some upgrading on Marlborough St. in the near future and he suggested the town should retain any' property they own. Three years ago, the property was offered for sale by the town, but they retained ownership when it was found that the high bidder wanted to erect a house on the lot, part of which is subjected to periodic flooding.
