Bowmanville 623-9519 Alternate Day Kindergarten Will Not be Used ■ The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education has finally laid to rest the idea of' introducing alternate full-day kindergarten (AFD). A vote at the board table last week adopted a full report on the topic that recommends not introducing AFD in the svstem. AFD is a system wherein kindergarten students attend school for a full day, every other day, rather than a half-day every day. The primary advantage is savings on transportation transportation costs because students students do not have to be bused at noon. More than one year ago the AFD committee, committee, chaired by Bowmanville Bowmanville Trustee Donna Fairy, submitted submitted a one-page report based on eight months of study, including input from parents, teachers, trustees and administrators. The single page said the idea should be abandoned. abandoned. The board wanted a full report, however; that is what it received and finally adopted Thursday. The report included research papers papers and surveys on AFD from boards in the U.S. and Canada, as well as an opinion survey survey done with teachers and principals in this system. The negative aspects of AFD far outweigh the positive, Mrs. Fairy said at the meeting, in particular the steadfast opposition to AFD from the teachers themselves. themselves. "The key to it all is the support of the educators, and that support is not at this board. They were speaking to us loud and clear -- they simply do not want it," she said. The report of the AFD committee said such a program would mean more teaching staff, more equipment, "child fatigue", and a lack of continuity in the education of the first year students. In the case of long weekends, for example, some students students would not attend school from one Thursday Thursday until the following Wednesday, Mrs. Fairey pointed out. The report concludes that savings made on noon hour transportation transportation -- estimated to be $264,000 this year -- would be quickly absorbed absorbed by other costs created by AFD. Port Hope's Wilf Day noted that the board -- with its large rural component component -- spends "a hideous amount" of money on transoorta tion, and that AFD "is something that still can he looked at in some form or another...we debate debate much smaller amounts than that." That flicker of hope for AFD was, however, dim in light of Mrs. Fairey's adamant "not now, not ever -- ever" opinion of the kindergarten kindergarten plan.
