Study Concludes Funding Impact - B ™j^° nce , onu '* t tracts Many Entries Could Be Serious for Public System The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 3,1984 11 50th Wedding Anniversary by Tom Grimmer A study has concluded that almost 10 per cent of the high school population could be drawn out of Northumberland and Newcastle Newcastle secondary schools by the provincial decision to fully fund the separate school system. However, administrators who conducted the study caution the figure is a very rough estimate and a number number of factors could alter that total. In a report given to school trustees last week, Director of Education Gary Tushin- gham said a 9.6 per cent drop in grade nine enrolment enrolment this year would have meant nine fewer teachers on the Northumberland and Newcastle payroll. The study, ordered in July by trustees concerned about the June 13 announcement announcement of full separate separate school funding by Premier Premier William Davis, involved involved a board-wide survey to determine how many grade nine students in the past three years have come to high schools in the system system from separate elementary elementary schools. Dr. Tushingham said in his report the board's figure of 9.6 per cent was arrived at by assuming all grade eight graduates of separate schools would attend separate separate high schools, an assumption assumption that may turn out to be false. Conversely, he added if public school grade eight graduates have a choice and some opt to attend separate high schools, the impact on the public system could be greater than esti- Real Estate FREE Real Estate Career Seminar Thursday, October 11th, 1984 7:30 p.m. Holiday Inn, Oshawa Have you ever considered a career in real estate?

"In subsequent years, 1986-89, the non- registration registration and/or transfer of students students will extend across the secondary system at an unpredictable unpredictable rate but certainly certainly would greatly accelerate accelerate the already known declining declining enrolment pattern" the director's report said. Choice is the key factor: if grade eight graduates from either system have options options on which high schools to attend, then it is virtually impossible to draw an accurate accurate picture of the impact of the provincial move. The" ' "possible impact, then, ranges in severity from "serious" to something that would require "gradual adjustments to the status quo." Until the premier's announcement announcement in June, separate separate systems had only been funded to the grade 10 level, unlike the public system, which is funded by the province province right up to grade thirteen. thirteen. The decision to start full separate funding in September of 1985 paves the way for separate boards to open more Roman Catholic Catholic high schools, schools run in the past with private funds and thereby limited in number. The premier has said the legislation allowing the new separate high schools would not include a provision provision insisting Protestant teachers be hired to teach in the Roman Catholic high schools; as well, it is not clear if the separate high schools will accept students from the public system. Trustees in a narrow vote decided to support the stance of the Ontario Public School Trustees Association Association (OPSTA), a body which is highly critical of the premier's premier's intentions, and to do so in writing. Separate school representative representative on the board, Emmett Emmett Creighton, called the move "another panic push." Mr. Creighton also opposed the motion in July ordering the impact study. Bowmanville Trustee Donna Fairey, who was a prime mover in ordering the study, said "the administration administration did a commendable commendable job considering the lack of information they have had to work with at this point. The board also voted to request joint discussion on the issue with representatives representatives of the Peterborough - Victoria - Northumberland and Newcastle Roman Catholic Separate School Board, and endorsed a plan for representatives of the board and administration to meet with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation -- the high school teachers union -- to discuss concerns about the possible drop in enrolment. Orono trustee Bill Carman Carman welcomed the meeting with the separate board, and said it was "time to get down to brass tacks (on the issue) and start working constructively." Board chairman Ian Wilson Wilson said the figures in the study should be viewed in perspective. "I suppose when you're looking at something you have to look at the entire bell curve, although although it is unrealistic to look at both extremes; you have to recognize that something in the middle is what is probably going to happen," the chairman said ofthe 10 per cent estimate. Bowmanville trustee Hal McKnight said endorsing the OPSTA position was "premature...there cer tainly are a lot of gray areas...(the administration impact study) is interesting, it's significant, and I suggest we receive and file it at this point in time rather than make a motion." Mrs. Fairey said later the way is now clear to set up a committee of trustees to consider the many-sided issue and to confer with the teachers union, OPSTA and the separate school board." That committee will be named in the near future. KENDALNEWS Sympathy of the community is extended to Mr. and Mrs. H. MacQueen, on the death of their oldest son, John.

What are you supposed to do when a four year old granddaughter wants to know when she'll be old enough for a cabbage patch kid, so I guess Santa is bringing her one. I wonder if that doll factory really did burn down with all the Christmas Christmas supply? Thanksgiving is coming up and the foliage is turning colour. I can never make up my mind if this is my favourite favourite season or not, it is so beautiful, yet really it's the beginning of the end, especially especially when you can hear those geese honking overhead, but I guess each ending brings a new beginning, or something like that. Access to Town Buildings Town council will be asked to spend $1,100 this year in order to help the fire department improve its ability to gain entry to public public buildings in an emergency.

This system provides an entry key in a locked compartment compartment at each municipally-owned municipally-owned structure.
