stouffville i the- problem of declining enrollment in the municipality is not as dramatic- as people think according to the board of educations area 2 superinv tendent william mcvicarj he feels people are imagining metro torontos problems xist in their own towns- explaining the york county board is in no panic to close schools iv k in stouffville the student population is fairly stable mr mcvicar said r only schools in whit- chiirchstouffville where at tendance is falling are at dicksons hill and whitchurch- hjghlands those institutions are operating at 70 per cent and 64 per cent capacity respectively mr mcvicar doesnt an ticipate their closing some dulverton is mi i stouffville despite the fact more than 500 homes are planned for the dulverton subdivision north of manitoba street on

the at tendance is 276 at dicksons hill theres roorn for 364 the enrollment now is 257 while taxpayers feel a lowered attendance should lower costs this isnt the case because in many instances it

board member explained its not handing out schools like it once did with whitchurclihighiands at only 646 per cent utilization and dicksonshillat706 per cent harry bowes sees the logic in such a move declining enrollment is presenting the board with a ivery real problem he says so it- makes sense to try and fill upt buildings already here y i for example whitchurch trustee explained also he points out as enrollments drop grants also decrease leaving costs pretty much the same the closing of schools or the f combining two schools into one can result in significant savings t he said but itinvariably results in protests from parents close schools but noti ours is the response often heard he stated while whitchurch- highlands is a serious enough problem it doesnt compare with crosby heights in rich- mond hill where only 43 per cent- j utilization is recorded- harry bwes concluded s cit people thinks were worried about saving money he said but you dont devote your life to children and make decisions entirely on the basis of economics where necessary he added the board will cut costs by sealing off unused classrooms and transferring reachers to other schools by bringing in children already being bused elsewhere the board can further attempt to better utilize facilities the board might close a v building when the student population drops j to the point where it cant provide the costly educational programs of a larger school- he observed these common sense steps f outlined in the final report of the provincial governments commission r declining enrollment are old

stouffville as long as the others can accommodate the new residents they would be bused there- the major problem in stouffville will occur in the 1980s when the size of stouff- ville secondary schools
