the tribune april 9 ism on sunday afternoon frances storry a resident of parkview home in stouffville was honored at an open house arranged by her son and daughterinlaw noel and jean storry rr 2 stouffville the oc casion was her 90th birthday close to 70 guests attended besides her one son mrs storry has three grandchildren dianne silcox of huntsville marlene nicholson rr 1 unionvilleand susan at home jim thomas uxbrtdgetwp xbe small rural school known as webb will soon be no more and it makes no difference near that tbe majority of parents with children enrolled there oppose its dosure after months of debate by the school accommodation com mittee on possible alternatives it took 15 trustees about 25 mirmtw to reach a final decision bruce small and pat grist represented the parents at the meeting monday night and again pointed out their con cerns but it was to no avail the two agreed because they fdt tbe board had come to its decision before their presentation was made trustees were provided with a copy of a minority report a week before mrs grist said none of the representatives dealt with any of tbe questions raised in the document they ignored the survey and all the other facts we prepared personally i felt deflated and i dont think we were handled very kindly mr small echoed the same feelings comparing the struggle with talking to a brick wall he said that it seems to be policy to close every small school in the area and if the edicts was strictly adhered to goodwood publics future could also be at stake he added the ideal plan would be to maintain a network of rural schools like webb rather than bigger overcrowded institutions what you would then have is a network of smaller schools throughout the region busing costs would be reduced and the students would surely receive a better education he said the report resear ched by the parents has been submitted to education minister bette stephenson for com ments mrs grist said she doesnt know what other route tbe citizens can take to appeal tbe finding it would be easier if at least one of them agreed with us but thats not the case tbe board considered comments made by trustees ed van nieuwenhove fred britten and david sims au of whom sat on the accommodation com mittee mr van nieu wenhove repeated his initial reasons for presenting the motion for closure before the board which were insufficient growth in the area enrolment projections cost factors- and split grades director of education ken munroe told those at the meeting that the province may denote authority to local boards in the question of operating capacity mr small said mis is just another way tbe ministry can avoid involvement with matters like webb there will always be citizens in opposition whenever a school is dosed and i guess tbe government wants no part of it durham region doesnt seem to mind though its not a polite affair at all he con tinued and everyone involved feels like theyve been run over by a big truck if thats the case then we have to let them know they the board hit a skunk mnnuark i 294-2581-2- crhpr of t0r0mark rhw tax relief israel womens spring break a positive approach to
