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.
From principal G. O. Phillips
of F.E. Madill Secondary School
to send 17 senior students (Art
401) accompanied by the art
teacher, to the Carborundum
Museum of Ceramics in Niagara
Falls. The cost to be assessed
to school budget, transportation
section.

of Howick Public School to send

From Principal J,L, Wood-
en of South Huron District
High School to send 25 students,
members of the senior outers
group on an overnight excursion
to the local area April 19 and
20, travelling on foot and by
canoe to provide practice in
camping and canoeing skills as
well as menu planning and
group activities. Cost to the
board will be nil.
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.
