What's your view on Grand

ation? Expansion of Grand

dispatch as possible"

Trying to find
place for staff
The Huron County Board of
Education has to find a slot to
place teachers of develpmen-
tally handicapped students.
Paul Carroll, superinten-
dent of special education, told
the October meeting of the
trustees that this type of
leacher is new for the board.
Currently, the teachers of
developmentally handicap-
ped students are recognized
as teachers by the provincial
ministry of community and
social services. These
teachers are graduates of a
community college, said Car-
roll, and are classified as non -
certified.
As part of its special educa-
tion package, the Huron
hoard will be hiring three of
these teachers for September
1985, one each for Huron Hope
in Huron Park, Queen
Elizabeth in Goderich and
Golden Circle in Wingham.
The board's personnel com-
mittee has to decide whether
to put these non -certified
teachers as union or non-
union personnel.
This step takes the board
closer to fuller implementa-
tion of special education.
The ministry of education
has set September 1985 as the
target date for full implemen-
tation of what started out as
Bill 82.
satisfied with the "status
quo".
You'll probably be asked
your opinion in the near
future, if the association pro-
ceeds with its plan to conduct
a poll of owners on the boun-
dary adjustment issue.
Another comment was
"Where are they (GB) going
maks farmers' market event successful
to go?" U they haven't got the
necessary land to grow with.
That and other questions will
be answered in the future as
the GB council awaits the
result of the expansion issue.
