' eh SEAR (VEER SVR SR SA SR Se dada VES rar ad y ' | * Overcrowding at Blackstock P. S. About 20 parents and a dozen teachers were on hand at Port Perry High School Library January 24 for a public meeting with school trustees and Board of Education staff. The audience included a number of Cartwright parents, in- cluding Gord Cartiledge chairman of the Cartwright School Liason Committee. Major concern of the group Stereos stolen - from C.T.C. Thieves made off with about a thousand dollars worth of stereo tapes and speakers, plus a little cash, from the Port Perry branch of Canadian Tire stores over the weekend. Constable Harold Hawkins of the Whitby Detachment, Ontario Provincial Police was checking out a couple of suspects in the break in as we went to press, but no arrests have been made. O0.P.P. believe the thieves broke in through a window at the back of the store some time between 4:30 p.m. Sunday. January 27 and 8:30 a.m. Monday, January 28. PL) Hover or Hours RED TAG SALE Look for the Red Tag Specials had to do with board plans to alleviate overcrowding al the public school in Blackstdek. Mr. Cartiledge * pointed out that the school, built in 1954, not only has four portable classrooms but' "we have a kindergar- ten that is half a mile away." Mr. Cartiledge said his group has looked into a number of recommendations aimed at solving the over- crowding problem, and that the finding are now being in- cluded in a brief the school liason commitlee will present to the board. "We would like to see that brief." board chairman Norm Edmonson said. NEGLECTED IN THE PAST Schools in Cartwright only become the responsibility of the Durham Board of Educa- tion on January 1 of this year. Before that the North- umberland-Durham board ran the schools. "We have been the neglected area of Northumberland-Durham," one parent complained. He wanted to know what plans the new board has for Cartwright. Board chairman Edmon- son said there are no plans at the moment, but he ex- plained that the board has only had one meeting so far and has not gotten around to policy yet. "Something will be done," promised Director of Educa- tion Ken Munroe who said the board is aware of an over-crowding problem. TOP PRIORITY There are only two places in Durham where new schools or major additions may be necessary, Mr. Mun- roe claimed, so at the very worst Cartwright could be no less than second on the list of priorities. ; Mr. Munroe wondered if a new school might be the best way lo solve the problem and asked where such a building should be located. "We have never consid- cred the possibility of a new school," replied Mr. Cartiledge. He said the committee would look into "that and suggest a location in case construction becomes possible. "Blackstock is as good a place as any," he opined. The new Durham board will be considering the Cart- wright problem, "very soon," it promised.® Also at the meeting were local trustees Gordon Goode and Yvonne Christie.
