The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 3,1986 Developers Required to Tell Homeowners About Busing Three Mile Limit Hospital Expansion Program From Page One by Rob Savage The recent busing controversy controversy being faced by the Northumberland-Newcas- tle school board hasn'tbeen overlooked by town council. Councillors made an effort effort to rectify some of the 'problems by passing a motion motion which requires all developers developers to inform home- owners of the current school busing policies in the area. "It would certainly be beneficial," Planning Director Director Terry Edwards said in a discussion favoring the motion. One of the main concerns addressed by council is that the information going to homeowners is incomplete. Councillor Frank Staple- ton said homeowners aren't being told that "certain busing" busing" is not available for some youngsters. He said the problem is the different school board limits for youngsters of different different ages. The maximum distance for busing privileges to school varies from about one to three miles depending depending on the youngster's age. Councillor Stapleton said a developer can tell the buyer there are busing services services without mentioning that the services may not apply to older youths who live within a certain limit. But that problem should be rectified through the passing- of the motion on Monday which needs final approval at council next week. Chairperson Steps Down by Margaret Stalker The chairperson of the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education Education will likely be handing over her position position tomorrow night. • • -After last week's board meeting, Donna Fairey ■indicated that she does not expect to seek re- election for a second term at tomorrow even- ■ ing's organizational ■ meeting. While trustees are elected for three year terms, the positions of chairman and vice- chairman come up every year. And at tomorrow's : organizational meeting, 'trustees will elect a new chairman and vice- chairman. Vice-chairman Bob Willsher has revealed that he will be throwing his hat into the ring for chairman. But citing provincial political aspirations, and an increased workload workload with her work on the Ontario Film Review Board, Mrs. Fairey said she likely will not be seeking re-election. "And I do believe in the rotation of the chair," she asserted. "There are excellent trustees who deserve the opportunity." At the end of the board meeting, the chairperson chairperson gave hër closing remarks. remarks. She mentioned that the "mixed bag" of new and old trustees of a year ago had turned into a dynamic force. "The chemistry is just right," she said. She applauded the trustees for showing great courage in passing the board's controversial controversial budget, and thanked them for their solidarity throughout the ensuing backlash. She highlighted many of the board's "accomplishments, "accomplishments, including including the implementation of the junior kindergarten kindergarten program, the meeting meeting with the minister of education concerning funding, the settling of the teachers' contract in almost record time, and the opening of the Centre for Individual Studies. "I feel good about the year," she concluded. Ms. Fairey argued the report's estimated estimated costs appeared to be "affordable." "affordable." She said the report is based on worst-scenario estimates, and have assumed all students currently within the limits would need new busing and that no students are currently currently using existing bus services. She admitted that neither assumption assumption is actually true and that the estimated estimated costs in the report are greater than the real costs will be. The report's first test will come during the board's Operations and Finance Finance Committee meeting next week. Ten of the 16 trustees serve on that committee and they will be voting on the report. Their vote then goes to all trustees at a school board meeting. Mr. Slocombe told residents their real fight for recognition should be made when the vote actually gets to the board. He predicted it would probably be on the board's Jan. 8 agenda. If the busing policies are eventually eventually changed, Ms. Fairey warned the changes probably wouldn't come about until next September. She also said that a new policy might not guarantee busing services for all people in the Waverley area. But resident Sharon Morgan insisted insisted the group would fight for a one and one-half mile limit and try to have the new policy implemented this year. She said many people she spoke to weren't willing to wait another school year. "We can't go through it slowly and we can't be happy with what we get," she said. "We've got to get it while the support's there." In response, Mr. Slocombe said the main emphasis should be to get the change, rather than to insist it come quickly. "It's a political exercise," he said. "That's all there is to it."
