The board accepted the `resignation of Judi McMichael from St. Mary's School, Goderich, effective December 31. She taught Kindergarten classes 50 percent and music 20 percent.

Board member Joseph Looby of Dublin said he was "not happy" with the noon - hour busing of students at Stratford, St. Marys and Goderich. He asked the board be given the report of the full - cost to the ratepayers. The Parent Teachers Associations of Exeter and Dublin . questioned Mr. Lane and John Vintar, Director of Education, at meetings in their schools as to the possibility of adding gym- nasium and kindergarten at Exeter and of over -crowding at Dublin and whit might be expected in the future. The members were informed the funds were "out of the pic- ture" at the present time. Mr. Vintar said the groups felt they had been "listened to and were heard". The Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association appointed Sandy McQuillan of Seaforth as chief negotiator for the 1976- 77 term. Other members of the teachers' team will be Jim McDade of Kinkora, Rita Lauwaert of Stratford and Terry Craig of Seaforth. A 105 -page Information on Schools packet was handed out to the trustees. "The Where We Are At in Education" was started by Mr. Vintar with former Superintendent Sandy Easton, and when he resigned, Mr. Vintar worked with Superintendents Joseph Mills and William Eckert to complete it. Prepared in three. major parts, the first part gives specific statistical in- formation about staff, school and some comments on specific programs for each school; the second sections contains the objectives that each school attempted to of r trustln the coming l the trustees indicated they weregoing to file nomination papers for re' election to the board with the exception of Howard Shantz of Stratford who will seek election to the Perthh Board of Education as separate school representative. Francis Hicknell of Seaforth • said he would file papers to ensure that the slate was filled but would prefer not to run if someone else would. Seeking re-election are: Vincent Young of Goderich ; F.J. Vere, David Teahen, Ronald Marcy, all of Strat- ford; John O`Drowsky of St. Marys; Joseph Looby of Dublin, William Kinahan of Lucknow, Gregory Fleming of Crediton; Ted Geoffrey of Zurich; Donald Crowley of Gadshill; Michael Connolly of Kippen, and Arthur Haid of Listowel. Referring to a com- munication from the Ontario School Trustees' Council Concerning the government's bilingualism policy which calls, for more emphasis on second language instruction in the schools, trustee John O'Drowsky of St. Marys asked if French should• be started earlier in the separate schools in the jurisdiction of the board. "With an important elec- tion corning up. This could be the salvation of our country," or Cl;ly said., "f �n't maw how a_ board member couldsit on a board and deny ae separate school supporter the right to send a child toms separate school. • Mr: Shantz denied he in- tended. this interpretation of his remarks; He said by forming zones in certain areas where there were separate school supporters with no children of elemen- tary school age, it would mean forming dummy boards. The superintendent of business, Jack Lane, said that there were a few areas in the two counties of zoned yet El iia, ..the top end of Wallace and Goderich Townships. "Every time you form a zone you hope to increase the assessment and it is my hope that the entire two counties would be zoned," he said. Zones were intended to support separate schools. There is no doubt this is a progressive step for separate school supporters." Mr. Vintar explained that it is a group of local ratepayers who form the zone. at least five are necessary, and they send their request for the zoning area in themselves, not through the board. Stratford trustee David Teahen said, "Let us remember we are educating children. We could have a township with a • represen- tative where we do not have Usually in early November, snow goes as quickly as it comes, but this year winter set in last weekend, and has stayed, with up to ten inches of snow being recorded in parts of Huron, along with record breaking low tem- peratures.

Mr. Lane said he was not informed this was desired and blamed a lack of com- munication for it. Mr. Lane suggested a committee should be set up early to improve this situation for another year. Mr. Shantz said he thought the clergy, the school board and everyone should be in- volved,"We have to get in there and really fight to get what is ours." The board is to advertise for an additional school bus driver at St. Mary's School, Hesson., with duties to commence January 3, 1977. Mr. Vintar reported on the annual conference he at- tended in London October 21- 30 by the Ontario Association of Education Administrative Officials, with the topic of public education --choices for the future. He said the keynote speaker was Professor Hugh Stevenson of the University of Western Ontario, who referred to the global view in his talk. This includes doubling the population of the world in the next 25 years and half of the population is presently undernourished and two-thirds of the world's population is poor. Mr. Stevenson said a population explosion is oc- curring in poor countries and the rich countries are . polluting and arming. He said education will probably remain the same since all of our successful attempts at reform appear to be those which parallel overall and gradual development of public education --change will be evolutionary rather than 'revolutionary, which "means it will be business as usual". Mr. Stevenson listed some -possible changes. he looked at constitutional reform and stated that since the B.N.A. Act makes education a Provincial matter and since most targe problems in public education are national and international. For example he gave Canadian , unity, financial base for education, employment, therefore there is a need to transfer the general responsibility for all levels of public education to the federal government. with regions which are smaller than most provincial governments but Larger than county systems, with a group or a body which will replace trustees. He cjted two choices for the professionals. firstly, that teachers should have the choice to join a professional federation and pay dues rather than hay a them legislated, and set-nndly they 'should have the right to bargain individually for salary.. benefits. and corking eoruliZions. thus . .+ die #: t open market conditt.•n Mr. Vintar said Mr. Stevenson talked p :out knowledge and knowini that we must cnnetantly ,nsider what is worth know pig. what is worth teaching a -d when and how best it sh,lui'i be accomplished He referred to the Jackson visited with her mother Mrs. Anger, who is seriously ill in Victoria Hospital.
