Current support is provided with assistance from outside agencies, for example, Family and Children's Services. A psychologist -behavioural consultant is to be hired to serve mild behavioural cases. Students with learning difficulties are currently being served in special learning needs classes and will continue but staff will be increased from 14 full- time equivalents to 16,5 full-time equivalents. This will mean an increase of five half-time classes. At the secondary level, there are currently 10 classes of a modified basic program staffed by 12.4 full-time equivalent teachers and this is to increase by two effective September. There are also 19 classes of basic program served by 3.2 full-time equivalent teachers. It is expected as these classes enlarge, they will be staffed by teachers from general. subject areas. Currently there are seven teacher aides for. a full- time equivalent of 5.2 and any future hirings are expected to be made as required. This staff number is expected to remain constant. No changes are required for the current three IP 1 ed plan... trainable mentally retarded schools in the county staffed by 9.5 teaching positions and 4,9 teaching aide positions. Also no changes are to be made in the current placement of Huron students, in residential facilities, such as the Regional Centre for the Hearing Handicapped in London and the W. Ross MacDonald School for the Blind, Brantford. Negotiations providing service to developmentally handicapped pupils are underway and it is expected there will be a cost sharing arrangement between the Ministry of Community and Social Services and the Huron Board of Education. Ire its cost analysis, the plan states, "the im- plementation of the requirements of Bill 82 should not increase the amount of money required locally from the taxpayer in the form of an educational levy beyond the amount raised in 1:' 1.", The Ministry is providing to boards of education for special education purposes only, $125 per elementary. student and $90 per secondary student in 1982,. $135 per elementary student and $97 per secondary student 1rr1983, $145 per elementary student and $104 per secondary student in 1984 and $155 per elemen- tary student and $110 per secondary student in 1985. Schools use many resources says education superintendent Huron County Board of Education doesn't rely simply on textbooks in classroom teaching. Superintendent of program Robert McCall said schools use as many resources as possible. He was responding to a recently published study on textbooks in Ontario's classrooms, commissioned by the Canadian Book Publishers' Council in co-operation with the Ontario Teachers' WE CAN- HELP WITH OUR EVER POPULAR SPRING Home & Garden Section COMING APRIL 28th Your complete guide to growing better gardens, land- scaping your property, and fighting the soaring costs of eating.

In Huron, he said, schools spent in the neigh- borhood of $12 per student for textbooks. This, he pointed out, does not include costs of other resource material such as magazines and library books. He added., the figure varies from school to school. The book publishers' study says, "on average, in 1979, school boards in Ontario spent only $11.19 per student on textbooks". The study compares this to other Canadian provinces. "In 1979-80, Newfoundland spent $28 on texts...Prince Edward Island $24.70...and Alberta $23.17," a press release on the study stated. The survey of 1,000 prin- cipals and teachers in 340 elementary and secondary schools in the province was conducted by Dorsa Ryan, Ph.D, with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. The Canadian Book Publishers' Council points out that until 1968, Ontario could claim to be a leader in the provision of classroom materials, envied by other provinces and even coun- tries. In 1969, the Ministry of Education's grant structure changed by giving grants to school boards and then they apportioned it to individual schools. The council says, "the amounts spent on textbooks have declined seriously over the past 12 years." On the other hand, Mr. McCall says .textbooks should not dictate a school's curriculum. He says schools use as many other resources as possible such as film strips, videotapes and reference books which are a benefit to many and may explain why less is spent on textbooks.
