Three.s€.e.k election to
board of education for
Ashfield, West Wawanosh
The three candidates running for trustee
to represent Ashfield and West Wawanosh
Townships on the Huron Cunty Board of
Education agree that the high school system
in the county should remain as it is. None of
the candidates want to see the secondary
system fragmented by the establishment of
Catholic high schools in the county.
Incumbent Tony McQuail told a
ratepayers' meeting at Brookside Public
School October 28, his personal preference
is one secondary school system. He said
hostility and animosity could be avoided if
the public and separate school boards can
work out accommodation to keep the high
school system as it is now.
Patricia Haskell of Port Albert said she is
against extending funding to separate
schools beyond grade 10. She believes the
two boards can continue to work together as
they have in the past in Huron County.
Don Alton, an Ashfield farmer, who is also
seeking to position on the Huron County
Board told the meeting he wants the exten-
sion of public funding to Catholic high
schools stopped immediately. "We can't af-
ford it." said Alton. "If the three Con-
servatives seeking the Tory leadership in
the province would only realize it, the first
one to say "No" to separate school funding
would be premier next spring."
In answer to a question from Clete Dalton
about permitting homosexuals or lesbians to
teach in the county schools, McQuail said
sexual orientation is not something an
employer can ask a person when he or she
applies
h' sfora job. McQuail was interrupted
ted
by Dalton at this
point and was not permit-
ted to continue his answer. Dalton is a
separate school supporter who has a child
attending Brookside school.
Pat Haskell said if they are qualified
teachers she had no objection to homosex-
uals and lesbians in the classroom, as long
as they did not try to influence the children
in the direction of their sexual preference.
Don Alton answered "If people do not act
accordingly after hours, I don't want them
teaching our childr n."
Shirley Smith asked the candidates about
programs for gifted children at the secon-
dary level.
McQuail said the gifted program is the
last to be introduced by the Huron County
board under Bill 82 which provides special
education for all children who require it.
McQuail said a considerable amount of
work is still necessary to meet the re-
quirements of the gifted child.
"All children are unique." said McQuail,
referring to a comment by special education
superintendant Paul Carroll. The board is
looking at models that are cost effective but
will not ostracize the child or encourage
elitism. McQuail said he wants a program
for gifted children that will not create
hostility with the peer group. McQuail said
the board wants to challenge the gifted
child. One method is to use sources in the
community, he said.
Haskell said the gifted child is a special
needs child and Bill 82 stipulates education
for all and requires that education meets the
needs of all children.
Don Alton suggested gifted children are in
the tninority and parents should give them
more at home to keep them satisfied. In his
r
opinion, the children wno are average are
not getting enough attention.
"We have to help the average children
who are the majority." said Alton.
In his opening remarks McQuail, who has
completed one term as trustee on the board,
said he is confident the Huron County Board
of Education has been conscious and wise
about making education opportunities and
excellent facilities available to the students
in the county. He said the board is ensuring
the students have a basic education but also
a broad experience which meets the
challenges of changing times.
McQuail said the board has moved the
special education staff into the school rather
than expecting them to travel the roads
from school to school. Special education pro-
gram in the county permit the child with
special needs to hang their hats and spend
time in the morning with their special
education teacher and return to their
classroom in the afternoon, he said.
"This is much more cost effective and
socially desireable." said McQuail.
French immersion was the most con-
troversial issue during McQuail's term. Mc -
Quail, who was chairman of the ad hoc com-
mittee which studied French immersion
proposals for the county school system, told
the meeting early immersion is impractical
and he did not support it. Late immersion
with a significent number of children in the
program could be introducted if cost effec-
tive, said McQuail, who supported this
recommendation by the committee. This ap-
proachset upa new stream
would notwithin
the system.
"It is attractive to find a diverse educa-
tion without extra cost while providing ac-
cessibility," said McQuail.
Pat Haskell said she has served on the
board's advisory committee on special
education since 1981. She has a child
educated in the special program and wants
to see special needs children allowed to re-
main in their own schools to receive their
education where they will not be segregated
from family and friends.
French immersion is a luxury the tax-
payers cannot afford, said Haskell. "If you
want, you should pay for it." she said.
She wants to see an industrial and home
economics program introduced at
Brookside school. She suggested the
children could be bused to Lucknow Central
Public School for shop and home ec classes
where the school has excellent facilities.
This service could be purchased by the
Huron County board from the Bruce board,
she said.
Don Alton said he wants to see the Huron
County Board of Education ach:L': 2 the
most education for the ratepayers' tax
dollars.
He suggested that taxpayers can have
more programs at Brookside school without
spending thousands of dollars.
Alton, who was active in the anti -French
immersion organization, Parents for a Bet-
ter Basic Education, said he plans to be a
strong accountable voice on the board.
"Times have changed, • but maybe it's
time we roll back the times. It's time for
change when the hired man is making more
than more than the boss and right now the
teachers are making more than the
ratepayers." said Alton.
