THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, October 20, 1960 19 Chairman Rumble Opposed I High School Trustees Will Seek Approval To Make Thornhill ‘Composite' School By Jane Manning York Central District High School is asking the Deâ€"; partment of Education to approve plans for the addition of shops and classrooms to the Thornhill High School to make it into a “composite” high school. That is to say a high school offering a complete secondary course in tech- nical, vocational, commercial, and academic sub- jects. Included in the tentative plans are electrical and’ automotive mechanic shops and a full course in draughting. Commercial subjects are already being taught at the school, but the course would be expanded. , The district high school board is slated to startlimited; vocational courses in the four high schools under their jurisdiction this coming September 1961. From these courses, taught in grades nine and ten. vocational and technical pupils will be funnelled into Thornhill High School to complete their secondary course if present plans receive provincial approval. Otherwise students who take the limi- ted vocational and technical courses will be obliged to fin- ish their course in one of the technical and vocational high schools in Metro Toronto, with the local board paying the tuition fees which are between $900 to $1,000 per year. At present there are sixteen students from York Central Dilsltrilct taking vocational or technical courses in other Sc 00 5.

Facts About Costs "‘he report of Trustee Wain- wright's planning committee con- tained the following items. Architects' have sketched two each of which bring its capacity up to 1200 pupils. The academic addition consists of 15,132 square feet while the composite addition contains 18,741 sq. ft. Thisaddi- tional space is required because of the size of the two extra shops. The academic addition is com- posed of six classrooms, four commercial rooms. one shop. and certain minor changes for stor» age, etc. The architects estimate the costs of the academic addi- tion would be $220,000.00. Estimated cost of the composite wing is $280,000.00. It would be composed of four classrooms, four commercial rooms, one Sci- ence Lab, and three shops with certain minor changes as well. Special Federal grants would in- crease the actual approval for the composite addition by $30,- 000.00 to $40,000.00 which will mean increased grants of ap- proximately $25,000.00. Equipping Technical Rooms The electrical room equipment will cost approximately $15,- 000.00, the auto mechanics $12,000.00, and the drafting room, . $2500.00. The overall increase for a, composite addition would be apq proximately $75,000.00. The com-1 plete cost being about $356,000.00 I for the composite extension and $281,000.00 for a purely academic wing. The net cost to the ratepayers would be $106,000.00 for the composite plan and $84,000.00 for the academic plan, as approx- imately 70% of the costs are eligible for grant. The cost of educating 3 VO- cational pupil in the City of ‘To- ronto is $200.00 per year more than for an academic pupil. This increased cost is reduced by a special grant of $20.00 per pupil on all vocational as well as com- mercial students. Fees in North York for non-resident vocational pupils are between $900.00 and $1,000.00 per year. The hope was expressed by some of the trustees that if the composite school became a real- ity some of the county pupils de- siring the upper school vocational training could be accommodated; in the York Central composite Voting in favor of the com-, mentioned the provincial educa- CANADIAN posite school were Trustees Mrs . lANGSTAFF NEWS CORRESPONDENT: MRS.
