Superintendent of English Gaetan Blan- chette said the ministry will issue a first draft curriculum document by March 1987, with the final version expected to be publish- ed early in 1988. He said school boards will be expected to provide teachers with curriculum support documents for the program, and that the ministry will develop a Science Unit Pur- chase Plan in order to facilitate program development at the school board level. Special grants to school boards will be provided by the ministry in support of the development, testing and reporting of in- novative pilot projects in in-service teacher education in Primary and Junior science. Mr. Blanchette said that more than half of the renewal program's $3 million budget will be provided to school boards to support its implementation. This $3 million is also expected to stimulate the spending of an ad- ditional $3 million to $5 million by boards, other organizations, and the private sector. "The goal of this revewal is to ensure that science is part of the educational experience of every child in every school in Ontario." Mr. Conway said. "To ensure its success, I am seeking the co-operation and support of school boards, teacher organizations, parent groups, and the public at large in en- suring that our children receive the best education that we can give them. "In issuing this statement," he continued, "I want to reaffirm my belief in the impor- tance of primary and junior education and in the need to provide children at this level with a balanced and integrated program." In other business the board granted Justin Tomasulo's application for postponement of his teachers' funded leave plan from 1987 to a later date. Peter Edwards, custodial helper at Goderich has resigned and Caroline Wilson has been hired to replace him. The board will upgrade bus sizes on ex- isting bus routes where necessary to accom- modate the number of students on these routes. Superintendent of Education John Mc- Cauley reported that 100 students are registered for the Grade 9 class to start the first of September this fall at St. Michael Secondary School in Stratford. This will be the second Grade 9 class for this school - the first one started at this new school last September. Mr. McClauley said the projected enrol- ment of 83 students is well surpassed. Ac- commodation and transportation must be planned for this increased number. The board will continue to support the scholarship fund of the Kiwanis Music Festival of Stratford with a donation of $125 for 1987. The space allocation for a booth at the 1988 Perth County International Plowing Match from September 20-2s been increased to 500-600 square feet at a cost of $2.00 per square foot. , The board will rent divider curtains and a backdrop for this booth. One of the board's consultants or resource teachers will be appointed to co-ordinate the board's planning and efforts and provide this person with the necessary planning time.
