September 14, 1994 Individual school results from provinceâ€"wide testing will be availâ€" to the public as a result of a motion passed at Thursday night‘s Halton Board of Education meeting. "If you walked into a school right now, you would not know where your child or that school stood," said Ward 3 trustee John Scheel, who introduced the motion. The previous board policy excluded the release of individual school results because"there is no evidence that comparing schools leads to the improvement of instrucâ€" tion and learning," stated Joanne Zywine, . Superintendent â€" of Education Services. PETER MARINO Man was depressed (Continued from page 1) depressed and his family is conâ€" cerned for his well being due to his current emotional state. The missing man had little money with him and according to police there has been no activity to date on his credit cards. Peter Marino is a white male, 5° 3" tall, 132 pounds with short, blackâ€"grey hair and partial paralysis on his left side. He was wearing a royal blue track suit and black fleisure shoes. He was driving a Cream color fourâ€"door 1984 Pontiac Bonneville, licence number YND 471. THE OAKVILLE BEAVER 3 ?ublic can see school test results but Board wary of interpretation Shouldn‘t be taken out of context says education services superintendent "There is, however, significant evidence that comparisons of school results have a negative effect," she added. The previous policy did not allow release of individual school results to either the media or the general pubâ€" lic, but the information was accessiâ€" blesunder the Freedom of Information Act. "I think if one person has access to this information through the Freedom of Information Act, then everybody should, without having to go through the Freedom of Information Act to do so," commentâ€" ed Ward 4 trustee Penny Siebert. "But I‘m not sure releasing results will be beneficial to our kids." * Inspect vehicle bumperâ€"toâ€"bumper. * Rotate tires, road test vehicle * Check for outstanding recalls ~estimate for any defects found.

Siebert expressed concern that the sophisticated context in which the information is packaged will be ignored and "numbers will be bandied about," ‘a sentiment echoed by Zywine. "You cannot assume the teaching is good or bad (based on individual school results)," said Zywine, explaining that factors such as the diversity of the school population and ESL needs would have to be factored in. "There is the danger of compariâ€" son of schools without the backâ€" ground information," she added. The issue surfaced after a recent provincial review of writing in Grade 12.
