Eight Years On Board Goode seeks seat Gord Goode with many years as a trustee on local school boards, feels he has the experience needed to represent the area for another term on the Dur- .ham Board of Education. gf Mr. Goode said he believ- es in "The best quality education for our students ... and ... the wisest possible spending of your taxes in seeking that goal." The Port Perry resident has represented this area 8 «-years--on the Port . Perry Public School Board, 2 years as chairman during amalgamation with Scugog Island Schools, 5 years re- presenting Port Perry, Scugog and East Whitby on Ontario County Board of Education. At present he is' completing a three year term with The Durham Board of Education. He believes these years on the Boards has given him valuable experience. One of the major issues to be faced this year, thinks Goode, is the problems of juggling pupil spaces. With the government clamp down on education funds, the board will have to grapple with the problem of how to serve students in areas where new class- rooms are needed, while in other areas schoolrooms sit empty. "Do we start a program of bussing, or 'do we keep the kids in their own areas?" "These are the questions that will have to be faced," he said. + " SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1976 8:00p.m. Uxbridge Music Hall Come out and exercise your rights as a shareholder, Your Credit Union is YOU Phone 852-3489 852-3388 70 Brock St..
