major expenditure in 1966 chairman donald gibson of school area board no 1 in pickering twp jrave a jrroup of residents this assurance on monday night following a lengthy discussion on future education plans the chairman made it quite clear however that edu cation standards of so years ago were not adequate for the world of today and the board would be neglecting its duties if it did not advance its facilities in keeping with the times the delegation headed by hugh miller of ciaremont rr2 questioned a suggested proposal by the board that could result in the erection of a senior public school graces 7 and 8 at a central point in the area he charged that such a system was still an experiment with little proof of improved results i hope the board will take a good long look at this

member eleanor mc kean said that she would abide by an earlier policy to sell to the hisnost bidder but admitted thai she personalty favoured the sale to a local party the second tender was filed by a local resident few teachers mr gib5on said that the formation of the area program had automatically resulted in major education changes he noted that it was becoming in creasingly difficult to obtain qualified teachers in one and tworoom schools and i can understand why he said for the same money why should a teacher accept 8 grades or even four when she can go to a school with one grade if you dont have the teachers you dont have anything he noted too that it wasnt fair for the children either to have less opportunities in rural areas than in more urban centres its a big enough jump from grade 8 to grade 9 he contin ued can you then visualize a student moving from a 1room to a 50room school he esti mated that the senior public school program would mean a 2 mill tax increase in area 1 he warned that if some educa tional progress was not appar ent in the area the dept of education could very well approve of amalgamation with area 2 and the mill rate would then double they area 2 have a coun try cousins back pocket up here area 1 that they have every intention of picking agreed board member eleanor mckean mrs mckean charged that the whole issue had been given undue publicity before the board had reached even a decision among its own mem bers she admitted that the board was divided in its think ing trustee charles mctaggart agreed that the senior school idea would likely come in the future he suggested that in the meantime it would be a wise move to expand some of the schools now in use think of children trustee gordon pearse char ged that in the discussion the most important part of the areas education plan the children had been overlooked its whats best for them that in the long run really counts he said he argued that all board members are taxpayers and as vitally interested in sav ing money as anyone else we want to weigh all the facts be fore we make a decision he said he noted that on one side of the question are the students and one the other side is the com we must draw a line down the centre he said the board chairman ex plained that it was necessary for the members to discuss plans for the future we cant operate on a hand to mouth basis when september comes the children are at the door and we must provide the room for them he said that since 1961 the student enrollment had climbed from 1175 to 1303 or about 5 percent he noted that assessment figures in the area had gone up over 2000- 000 in the same period with reference to the senior public school mr gibson said that such a program was favoured by the dept of education theres no system in the world that wont be criticized or wont have weaknesses he said inspector j c mcclelland said that the area was repre sented by a fine board and that much work and study had gone into
