School target date set The Durham Board of Education will know by the end of this year which schools will be selected for the "modified school year pilot project." And the target date to stant the pilot project in Durham is September, 1992, said Scugog trustee Bobbie Drew last week. "Modified school year" is the name the' Board has given to the concept of schools being, used for instruction 12 months of the year. But Mrs. Drew is quick to point that this does not mean students 'will be in class 12 months of the year. Staff and students will continue to get the same amount of holiday they get now (Christmas Easter, stat days) but instead of ten straight weeks in the summer, they would be off for shorter lengths at various times through the year, she said. There will still be the same number of instructional days (185) inthe school year. * , At the board meeting September 23, trustees approved various criteria to be considered in selecting the two schools for the pilot project. These include schools with' a large "walking population," those with portabfts on site, those with few "special needs" students, those serving rural/urban students, those with more students than Ministry ratings, and especially schools where a real"interest in this project has been expressed. Mrs. Drew said there age sever- al reasons why Durham if explor- ing this concept. Studies in the United Statgs show "it makes sense edutationally" as students retain more if they are not away from class for ten weeks in the summer; there is less vandalism as, schoolg.are used 12 months of the year; and. there is less "burn-out" of students and"teachers, she said, Cornish Grade 5 class of Mrs. Manitius. Thesemergetic kids in this class organized a food drive last week, collecting all kinds of non-perish- ables from other students in. the school. At the £nd of last week, when ™ the food was loaded into Mrs. Manitius' car and delivered (0 the" Food Bank, there were over 700 individual items; everything from soup to cereal to cookies 10 peanut butter, and even a bag of dried dog chow. 2) beth McPhee, who acted assofficial * 'spokesperson for her classmates, said this is the first time the class has been involved in collecting food for this purpose. And when asked if she is happy with the response, all the kids in the class joined her in saying a resounding "yes." "It has been very successful. We are all really happy," said Elizabeth, And she added that the kids would certainly take this pro- ject orgagain next year or whenéy- er the focal Food Bank needs help.
