Superintendent of pro-
gram, Robert McCall, said
additional teachers will be
considered when the pro-
gram is implemented.
Director of Education John
Cochrane said any additional
hirings would be considered
for the 9984 budget.
Trustee John Elliott
questioned the need to ap-
prove the increase at this
time and suggested approval
in principle be given now and
the; increase considered
again next year.
. "Do you have any specific
areas of concern?" Trustee
Joan Van den Broeck asked
Mr. Elliott.
"I have concern for staff-
ing," responded Mr. Elliott,
adding that approval in prin-
ciple gives the board the op-
portunity to study the budget
implications of the program
next year.
Trustee Murray Mulvey
had another concern.
"If the students are having
20 minutes more French per
day, is there any subject be-
ing shortened?" he asked.
Mr. McCall said the in-
creased French time falls
within the time allocated for
language arts. The time allo-
cated for language arts, he
added is already above the
time required.
"The increase wouldn't
significantly harm the time
allocated to language arts,"
said Mr. McCall.

Broeck outlined several
reasons for increasing the
time for the core French pro-
gram:
The Ministry of Educa-
tion's minimum requirement
for core French in Grades 7
and 8 is 60 to 120 hours per
year;
Effective September, 1984,
students will be required to
take a credit in core French
at the secondary level in
order to graduate;
The effect of the increase
in core French approved by
the Huron -Perth Separate
School;
Information shows that
over the past three years
significantly more students
have been choosing core
French in Grade 9.
