If the renovating and purchase costs were
eliminated, it would leave an annual
operating cost of about $30,000.
In this situation, if the Ministry approved
renovating the school, it would. pay about
$420,000 towards those costs,. Approximately
$105,000 plus the operating costs would be
paid locally.
In the third consideration, if the,, school is
closed, there would be an annual avings of
about $129,861. This cost represents the ren-
tal fee, principal's salary, small school staff
allocation allowance of $52,820 and

secretarial costs.
The report does acknowledge that if the
school were closed the board would face ad-
ditional transportation costs.
"If 30 per cent of the students went to Clin-
ton Public School an&70 per cent of the
students went to Huron Centennial Public
School, the total transportation cost would
be approximately $32,595," states the
report.
The crunch comes, said Mr. Allan, when
the board makes its annual request for
capital grant money from the ministry in
November.
While the board may place the renovating
of Vanastra as a top .priority item for the
1985 budget year, the ministry, which is ex-
pected to pay about 80 per cent of the
renovating cost, may turn the project down.
The director said the board's capital grant
request is forwarded to the regional office in
London. The regional office then ranks the
Vanastra project with capital grant re-
quests from the 23 other school boards in the
Western Ontario Region.
This decision is not made until March or
April of the following year.
A point against the Huron board's request
is that it has to prove a need for improved
facilities and Mr. Allan pointed out that
"enrolment this term in the county's elemen-
tary schools is projected at 6,065.
According to the ministry's figures, the
Huron board has room for 9,696 students.
Mr. Allan did note that the board has a
rental agreement with Conestoga College
until next summer.

New principals. bring experience
to three local elementary schools
By James Friel
Three area public schools have welcomed
new 'principals to their halls and
classrooms.
In Clinton, Ron Mckay has taken over
responsibilities as head of the Clinton Public
School. Mr. Mckay brings 27 years of ex-
perience to his position, those between 1960
and 1968. at the Clinton school. He comes
from a term as Holmesville' Public School
principal.
"I've taught here before so I really look at
it as though I'm corning home," said Mr.
Mckay.
He is a native of Clinton and graduated
from Central Huron Secondary School. He
went to Teachers' College in Stratford and
also acquired a degree from Wilfrid Laurier
University in Waterloo. Although Mr.
Mckay didn't want to get specific about his
objectives for Clinton Public School, prefer-
ring to first outline his ideas in a letter home
to parents, he did say his major objectives
will require the assistance and cooperation
of parents.
With Mr. Mckay's move to Clinton Public
School, John'/Kane of Goderich filled the
Holmesville principal position. He was,
formerly principal at Victoria Public School '
in Goderich for five years.
Before that he spent 1972 to 1979 at Col-
borne Central School and 16 years with the
LanNilpton Board of Education.
Mr. Kane was bora and spent several '
years in the United States before moving to
Goderich. He graduated from Queen's
University, has attended teachers' college
and is currently doing post -graduate work
on his Master of Science at Niagara Univer-
sity in Lewiston, New York.
"I came here with some objective in
mind. I'm quite anxious to see the school
and community work in harmony," said Mr.
Kane. He said he hopes the school will.
become a focal point of the community.
John Siertsema, formerly principal of
J.A.D. McCurdy Public School in Huron
Park, takes on responsibilities as principal
at . Huron Centennial Public School in
Brucefield.

Park school for 11 years before this move.
Before that he was vice principal in Exeter
for a year and taught . in Holmesville
between 1960 and 1972. He also taught in a
one room school house in the late 1950s.
Mr. Siertsema attended Stratford
Teachers' College and has a degree from
Wilfrid Laurier University. He and his wife,
Kathleen, have four children. The family is ,
also participating in a student exchange
program and have a Finnish high school stu-
dent living at their Bayfield home for a
year.
The new principal aims to maintain the
standards students of Huron Centennial
have experienced with the child as focus of
the system and hopes to have .the staff
operate to provide the best program possi-
ble to enable the student to develop to his or
her fullest potential. He also wants to have
open lines of communication between the
school and the community.
Another of Mr. Siertsema's goals is to at-
tempt to meet the requirements new legisla-
tion has placed on the system with the least
possible disruption to that service.
