NOW AVAILABLE RHUBARB ASPARAGUS and STRAW BERRIES MacMILLAN ORCHARDS -- Whitby -- 668-5031 686-2531 The program part of the evening began with the guest speakers, Mr. and Mrs. Rod Marsh, being introduced by Mrs. Ed.

The end of June already! It is difficult to believe we have reached the conclusion of yet another school year. For students it is the long-awaited break from the routine of daily classes. For teachers a difficult difficult time of the year. The mad rush to draw together all of the administrative requirements and at the same time, that emotional twinge of mixed feelings as they see the passing passing of yet another class. A very real reminder for each of them of how quickly life is going by. Yet, in speaking with them, I sense it is the most pleasurable time of the year as they reflect on their own accomplishments and failures and those of their students. I also sense a great deal of mutual respect between between students and teachers. I am pleased that the Board at the June 23 meeting, passed a resolution to continue funding funding Co-operative Transportation Transportation for the balance of the 1983 budget year. Funding of up to $7,000 will be drawn from the Retirement Gratuity Budget. That Budget will not require the original amount set aside as a result of the withdrawal of retirement requests. In addition, the Board has directed directed administration to prepare a report and recommendations recommendations concerning co-operative education programs in secondary secondary schools. This report is to be presented to the Board by October 31, 1983. Hopefully, we can eliminate the type of see-saw situation encountered recently and have a definite plan to provide economical transportation of students. The Committee to study Alternate Full-day Kindergarten Kindergarten is beginning to become a reality. At the last Board meeting, three Trustees were appointed to serve on the committee. Mrs. Donna Fairey will represent the Western area with Mrs. Elizabeth Parkin from the central area and Mrs. Vernon Shackleton from the Eastern area completing the Board's representation. Very soon the community and professional representatives will be selected selected and the committee begin its work. One way the Board can effect savings is the complete closure of vacant classrooms. Reduced costs for heating, lighting and janitorial services services results. These savings, by the way, can be significant and real. In an effort to ensure that such is maintained when the Board rents a vacant classroom out, the Board passed a motion on June 23 that the rental of vacant classrooms classrooms be on a cost recovery basis. It was recently discovered discovered that some rentals were not covering costs incurred incurred by the Board. For example, some vacant classrooms classrooms are used by day care organizations which are in a profit making position. Taxpayers Taxpayers should not be asked to subsidize such activities. It is important not to confuse this policy with community use of classrooms after school hours.. They will continue to be rented on the current schedule of fees. The new policy applies only to classrooms no longer used during the day by the system. The purpose? To make the Board's operations for educational purposes cost effective. A recent topic in the press which causes me concern is the report that universities are rating High Schools according according to their determination of how tough a particular school marks examination papers. I have no argument with a university "wanting to maintain maintain a high standard. But is the present system fair? Who knows a particular school's rating? How are such ratings arrived at? Where does the input come from? At present, neither the general public nor the School Board has a right to assess this information. According to reports, only the school principal does have this right. I am not saying the university is wrong, but it may create a significant disadvantage disadvantage for students from a given area. How can the university's concern be corrected (or disputed) if they are unwilling to engage in dialogue and sharing of information? It is a topic that bears investigation. During the summer months the Board continues to meet, although not at the hectic rate of the past six months. I am sure each of you will be shifting shifting your thoughts to more leisure activities. Should you have comments or concerns. please don't hesitate to call me. To those students graduating graduating from the system may I extend congratulations on your accomplishments thus far and hope you continue to be successful. To students returning returning in the fall, I hope you have a safe and happy summer summer and return eager to resume resume your studies.
