Catholic _students who. apply
to attend .one of the Huron -
Perth separate school board's
19 schools will be accepted and
prop•"ded with transportation,
even though they may live
outside an .area organized for
the direction . of taxes to the
system, trustees decided
Monday night. •
The policy was adopted on
, the recommendation of the
board's policy and by-law
committee, chaired by trustee
Howard Shantz of Stratford.
Goderich trustee Vince
Young commented the , the
policy was ratnier,rt ad: ``'V 'e
would possibly have to travel 15
miles in one direction to pick up
one student."
Business 'administrator Jack
Lane, agreed that this was
possible in some areas of the
two counties.. but he suggested
that each case could be judged
on its own merits.' He said a
brochure that the board has
distributed to newcomers and
real estate offices, listing
locations of. Catholic schools in
the two counties, has en-
couraged Catholic supporters
to check with the board's office
about school accommodation
before buying property.
He suggested the board 'could
check out bus routes with the
public school board and, would
not necessarily have to provide
special bus or taxi ac-
commodation.
A second policy, on tru§t
possessing keys to schooand
the board office wa passed
with one amend t. An old
policy' that b• s rd members
may posses •eys to schools in
their are, ' as reaffirmed.
Two ew policies provide that
airmen of each standing
mmittee can have a key to
the board room to facilitate
olding committee meetings
nd that keys to schools may be
icked'I.ip at the board office br
rom a principal by standing
ommittee chairmen were also
assed. A log'''book at the board
ffice will be provided for
ommittee chairmen to sign
eys in and out. •
After some discussion, a
ird policy, on school, photos
as passed.School principals
ill be permitted to select one
hotographic company to Make
ne visit a year to each school
take the students' phot6s.
rustee Francis Hicknell of
ublin said he would like to see
ass photos taken each year.
Principal Gary Birmingham
St. Aloyisius School in
ratford, who was, At the
eeting as an observer, was
eried on his policy on photos.
said he tries to pick the best
ality photographer and that
e school gets 10 percent of the
oney from photos sold. oIt's a
rY competitive business”.
ippen area trustee Michael
nnolly suggested "We should
der and get a photogrdpher
all the schools in a business
e way."
rustee Joe Looby of Dublin
gested that,a survey be done
the en* of the year on how
nY pictares and what type
re taken at til the board's
cols, so that perhaps a new
4NHP$S:S ystem
policy could be worked out forwas, being set up for new
next year -Trustees agreed to - members of the board.
consider the matter again for
next year.

_The board's metric com-
Mittee is holding meetings,
Director of Education John
Vintar reported, but will meet
again before a report is ready
for the board.
Stratford trustee Ron Marcy
said he was disappointed to
learn that the Perth County
board of education was setting
up their own metric committee
and ignoring a suggestion that
they get together- with the
',separate ticbotbild, oft,whiehet4 held
offered to' co-operate with 'the
Perth.' Board and to include
their representative on the
Committee that is already set
up.
"These committees cost
money, and as separate school
supporters of the public
system, we should object to the
duplication", Mr. Marcy said.
Trustee Howard Shantz agreed
to inform the separate school
representative on the Perth
board of Mr. Marcys feelings.
None of the board's stand' g
committees made any - port,
