Special education self-contained classes, located at this time at St. Aloysius School will be transferred to St. Ambrose School by September 1988. The special education classes will be attended by all exceptional elementary pupils in Stratford and Perth County. With Immaculate Conception School dos- ing at the end of June, 1988, all the students from Kindergarten to Grade 7 will be transferred to St. Ambrose School with the start of school in September, 1988, with bus transportation provided. All Grade 8 pupils in Stratford will continue to attend St. Michael School during the 1988-89 school term. Grade 7 students from St. Joseph's School will be moved to St. Aloysius in September, 1988, and the Grade 8 students from St. Joseph's will be moved to the same school in 1989. Plowing Match With the International Plowing Match to be held in Perth County from September 20-24 in 1988, the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will take advantage of the opportunity to display the school program to visitors at the match. The board will rent a booth 60 feet wide and 10 feet deep to display students' art, writing, Science Fair projects, French immersion, Religion/Family Life education, etc. On a stage outside the education and'health tent, students will have the opportunity to per- form music, drama, choral reading, physical education and other student in- volvement. The cost to the board will be about $6,000. Redistribute Trustees The trustees are concerned about a pro- posal by the Ministry of Education to redistribute trustees based on population rather than property assessment. Trustee Ron Murray of Dublin said this would not be fair to small boards as they will have fewer trustees to, cover larger rural areas. If this proposal becomes law, Mr. Murray said the Huron -Perth Board could lose two trustees. Board Chairman David Durand of Zurich agreed with Mr. Murray that the board would be short-changed by redistribution but before writing the ministry to express the board's concern they should wait for Jack Lane, Superintendent of Business and Finance, to figure out which areas of the two counties will be affected. Mr. Murray said the ministry is not making provision for small boards and they should be keeping their same numbers as they are now. Endorse Resolution The board unanimously endorsed the AIDS curriculum as developed by the In- stitute for Catholic Education. Bishop John Sherlock of London approved the use of the program u* t,* schools.. It conforms, tO the expectations,1desiees ana sense 'of' faith' of parents, priests and teachers. Bishop Sherlock in his letter to the board said the program should be used in conjunc- tion with the Religion Education and Catholic Family Life program so it will be part of an integrated effort to form followers of Christ, committed to chastity and to the moral choices necessary to live a chaste life. The AIDS Education Committee ap- pointed by the board endorses the program. It includes trustees, administrative staff, teachers, and parents. This committee is planning public meetings with parents before presenting the program to the Grades 7 and 8 students in the school system. Bishop Sherlock stressed that parents must be given a chance to review this program and express their opinions and to be allowed the option of withdrawing their children from the program if they choose to do so. He said the program is a truly Catholic response to the scourge of AIDS and will contribute to the sanctification of the Church and the preservation of the human family. Trustee Ernest Vandershot of St. Marys said the board should hold meetings with the priests in both counties so they can give an- nouncements in church.
