Board of .Y 111 on approved the director's stu,1 endation to begin staffing IER1,t, ary schools to a maximum of 315 s and secondary schools to a m of 273 teachers. YU,1 rane reported to the board that mentary school staff ,need was .n an expected enrolment of -6,768 YZ1,Ipl s, down slightly from this year's ent of 6,787. Cochrane said parts iEAr county Other than Clinton would r a reduction of -one teacher but '3024 increased enrolment in•`the Clinton area would have made the engagement of one additional teacher necessary even though Vanastra School were not opened. The opening of Vanastra requires an additional 1.5 teachers making the Grades 1-8 ration of teacher -student 21.5 to one in 1977-78. For special areas in the system Cochrane recommended the hiring of two home economics teachers, two ,in- dustrial arts teachers, one half teacher for each 28 pupils for kindergarten and a' maximum of four teachers for special education. At the secondary school level the total adjusted enrolment in 1977 will be 4,692, up three students. The present staff is 273 and Cochrane recommended that the ratio of 17.5 students to one teacher is adequate and that the same complement of staff be kept. Clinton Trustee Dorothy Williams pointed out to the board that the ratio of students to teachers is based on all staff, principals and librarians included, and that not all the staff actually 'teaches. Shesaid the result is that not every class has only 17 students in it as may be suspected by the ratio used for hiring.

Lyndon, themanager of the Huron ousing Authority, claimed a possible nflict of interest in committee usiness if he remained on the board and chose to leave it. Lyndon felt that he may be caught in cations where the town is dealing with deral or provincial agencies re housing d may force him to either remove mself from the business or have a flict. +le felt that possibly another rson who wouldn't face that possibility old better servte the committee. Mayor Deb Shewfelt asked that it be recorded that Lyndon had never in the past had a conflict of interest and probably never would have pointing out that the reasons for the resignation were not in existence now and were not concerning the committee. He said he knew the town certainly appreciated the services of Lyndon on the committee. Chairman Don Wheeler told Lyndon that he couldn't expect to get away that easily, saying he knew the housing authority manager would be working closely with the committee in the future, just as he had in the past.
