School board to come to SHDHS
By Stew Slater
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES -ADVOCATE
SEAFORTH — The Avon Maitland
District School Board will hit the
road this fall, holding two of its regu-
lar twice -monthly meetings away
from its Seaforth headquarters.
If deemed successful, the two -
county tour will continue next year.
Trustees discussed the possibility
at their first meeting of this school
year Sept. 11. No dates were ironed
out, but there was consensus that
meetings should be held this fall at
South Huron District High School in
Exeter and Listowel Eastdale ele-
mentary school.
"There have been quite extensive
renovations at both of these schools
so that's why they were chosen,"
explained North Huron trustee
Colleen Schenk after the Sept. 11
discussions.
The idea arose last April through a
proposal from board chairperson
Jenny Versteeg.
"The reasons for doing this would
include raising the profile of the
board and its work, providing oppor-
tunities for people to attend board
meetings without having to drive
long distances, and giving trustees
an opportunity to see schools in
other parts of the board," states a
report provided by Versteeg to fel-
low trustees before the Sept. 11
meeting.
The report adds that, with the
board now entering into accommo-
dation reviews — which could
potentially lead to the closure of
some schools — in St. Marys,
Goderich and Mitchell, it might be
advantageous to hold meetings next
year in those communities.
In general, Avon Maitland trustees
meet for regular public meetings on
the second and fourth Tuesdays of
each month.
Clandeboye home invasion
