Zurich Citizens News, 1974-03-21, Page 15THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1974 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS Plan meeting to set guidelines (by Wilma Oke) A guideline for staffing of elementary schools is to be on the agenda of a special meeting of the Huron Board of Education to be called for next Monday night. Mr. Cochrane said the class sixe teacher -pupil ratio was possibly the most important item in the list of ten recom- mendations resulting from the visitation to schools made by board chairman E.G. Hill and himself last fall, and now his staff and he are ready to discuss a number of these items with the board members at the spec- ial meeting, next week. Speaking of the budget for 1974, Mr. Cochrane said "The board has• not yet been given the grant regulations and other pertinent material necessary to complete the budget, but based on the assumption that grants will not be less than last year, we can produce one for you to consider if you wish." Mr. Cochrane said because of spiralling costs the grant regulations had been pulled back by the Ministry for re - c cnsideration, but that it was important that he get some " interim guideline for hiring elementary teachers. R.B. Allan, assistant super- intendent, said estimated enrol- lment in elementary schools willbe down 227 pupils and three less teachers will be req- uired. He said it may be poss- ible that the board will be hirin€ about 14 new elementary teach- ers next term, but nothing is definite at this time. Approval for five field trips was made as follows. From prin- cipal J. Axtmann of Grey Cent- ral Public School to take 38 Grade 8 students on a three-day trip to Toronto to visit Science Centre, Parliament Buildings, etc. The cost of the trip is estimated at $125, to be assess- ed to the transportatinn section of the school budget and each pupil contributing $1.

Another request to send 24 students, members of the senior outers group from South Huron on a one week excursion to the Magnetawan River area on May 18-25 to practice camping and canoeing skills. No cost to the board. Mrs. Molly Kunder of Seafortl asked why some schools go on field trips regularly while other schools do not request them. It was pointed out to her that man schools participate in field trips that are in a mileage range of their school that it is not nec- essary to ask board permission. Mr. Cochrane said it depended to some extent on the principal of the school whether they took full advantage of trips available He informed the board members that the school budget for field trips is based on the enrolment of the school. "It's not fair to the pupils if they are not taking advantage of the trips, apparently there is a budget for it, " Mrs, Kunde:r said. The superintendents will be asked to study each school to see if all students are given the opportunity to participate in field trips. Norman Mundy, custodian at F.E.
