report on establishment of junior kindergarten in York Region public schools wont come before the York County Board of Education before March board chairman Craig Cribar said Thursday The issue was sent back to the threemember chairmans committee earlier this month after the committee had recommended that staff prepare a progress report on junior kindergarten by May Three trustee motions including a call for an experimental pilot program that would be compared to junior kindergartens operated by other boards and studies on the educational and financial im plications of the program were to be considered in the staff report the committee recom mended Were going to have to refine our recom mendations somewhat Mr told The Era Thursday The entire board will have to make the political decision as to whether junior kindergartens will be introduced he noted The committee role said Mr is to bring in a report outlining the options available and the implications of each option While the issue was last brought before the full board two weeks ago King trustee Dorothy questioned how the board can introduce new programs when there are not enough funds to operate current programs properly We find ourselves in a period of great financial restraint she noted We have cut back severely on our library account and teachers are complaining theyre short of supplies Fellow King trustee Margaret Coburn said parents who have con tacted her favor the introduction of junior kindergarten I cant really feel were justified in spen ding time on this she noted Richmond Hill trustee Bob Houghton said junior kindergartens should only be introduced if the program can be offered on the same basis across the region Equalization in other school programs currently does not exist particularly in the north ern half of the region he said and the idea should therefore not be considered at the present time The one member of the chairmans com mittee who opposed Die initial recommendation Whitchurch trustee Harry Bowes said the education ministry told all boards a year ago that new- programs should not be introduced at the present time QUALITY FILM SHOPS SAME DAY
