principle for a com munity school concept in newmarket commits the coordinator to two ad ditional projects involvement beyond that point could only come as a result of a decision by the board mr crosby stressed the thing i have to be careful of i think is that the community school concept is really blossoming he ex plained i have to be careful how thin i spread myself out i have definite commitments first and i would definitely have to have board permission to go into another area to work in his first week on the job 10hour days were not unusual for the new community schools co ordinator the 8 am to 6 pm days with additional hours for frequent night meetings will remain enjoyable as long as the job remains rewarding mr crosby said the rewards will vary as much as the community school con cept differs from school to school the community itself is going to deter mine what it needs the coordinator explained right now were going on a predetermined notion this community schools is what the public wants once informing the public of the potential in the facilities the actual use and philosophy of the school will be determined by the people added mr crosby we have to inform the public then let the impetus come from them he said theres support behind us but community schools may not be warranted in some areas there will be no attempt to force a community school into an area where it is neither required nor wanted the coordinator said if we lay it on i dont think it will last he explained even in areas where the program is warranted citing exact community needs could prove difficult mr crosby noted community schools coordinator bob crosby at his office in richmond hill the university of waterloo honors recreation graduate becomes the first
