Trustee Robert Endean stat- ed that if the school had been built where water and sanitary sewers are available, it would have meant that it would not have been built where the need was. This would have involved transportation costs which could amount to $20,000 to $25,000 a year. Over a period of years this expense would have been much greater than $80,000. Enrolment Chairman Ross reported that enrolment last Friday in the four schools operated by the board, was 3,721. with another 13 students registering on Monday. Total rated accom- modation in the four schools is 3,370. Woodbridge High School, with accommodation for 400, has 332 students registered; Richmond Hill had 732 regis- trations, with accommodation for a maximum of 800; Thorn- hill Secondary School can ac- commodate 1200 and is operat-‘ ing close to capacity with 1,194 registrations; Bayview Second- ary School, which is rated by the Ontario Department of Ed- ucation at 970; has 1.013 stud- ents in attendance. Two por- tables have had to be put into use at the latter school to ac- commodate these extra young people. Delays Costly The spokesman charged that delay in payment of municipal levies to the board this year had resulted in the continua- tion of borrowing for three months past the usual time. This had resulted in an extra $2,200 in interest charges which had not been included in the ;budget. This is one of the prob- lems to be discussed by the board and council members from the four municipali- ties, the Townships of Vau- ghan, the Village of Wood- bridge and the Town of Richmond Hill at the meet- ing scheduled for October 24, he said. He added, “The press has not been invited to this meeting, so you may speak freely.” Mr. Ross reported that the board to date had received only $75,000 out of the levy of $257,673 from Markham Town- ship; $200,000 out of $471,851 from Vaughan Township; $225,- 000 out of $440,428 from Rich- mond Hill; and $35,000 out of Reeve Wilfred Dean and members of his council receiv- ed an invitation from York Central District High School Board to attend a special dinn- er October 24 at 6:30 pm. at Thornhill Secondary School. DiscuSSed will be future plans for schools. Markham Township's August police report showed a total of 13 break-ins prompting Reeve Wilfred Dean to comment on the rise in number as well as the current “epidemic of break- ins in Vaughan at about the same time." There were six thefts reported, 11 persons charged with criminal offenc- es, and one motorist suspend-. ed from driving. Traffic accid-i ents totalled 27. with 7 injur-' ed and no fatalities reported. Markham Township Council decided to limit non-resident pheasant hunting licences to 200. although clerk H. C. T. Crisp said some applications were already in for the season which opens October 16 and he was being flooded with tel- ephone calls. Tmmship accounts I o 1 August totalled $26,770.73. Wel‘ fare paid out was $709.61. Markham Township Council announced the promotion from Sergeant to Staff-Sergeant of Robert Hood to be effective immediately. He occupies the position vacated by the now Chief Constable Harvey Cox. The three men who represent Richmond Hill Town Council on York Central District High School Board were present at Monday night’s council meeting to discuss educational matters. Chairman Robert Ross was spokesman for the board. Councillor Alex Campbell asked if it were true that test drilling had not been done on the site for the new Langstaff Secondary School until after the property had been purchased, and quoted a report that this would mean an additional $80,000 would be needed to provide sewage disposal for this school Council received a word of thanks for its contribution in cash toward the building of Markham Village‘s new com- munity centre.

Teaching Staff Mr. Ross continued that last year‘s inspectoral report com-‘ mented on the large percentage of comparatively inexperienced staff (20% are beginners and 55% have ‘less than five years experience) and recommended that strong measures be taken to develop the strength of the teachers quickly. “To this end," he reported. “We have set out on an aggressive search for good department heads. We have introduced a ‘Master Tea- cher’ plan.

Approximately 40% of our teachers were on some sort of course last sum- mer. We are embarking on cerâ€" tain ‘in service‘ training courses for some staff this year. e.g. mathematics and science." “You can expect no floss or frills in Langstaff." said Chair- man Ross. Eventually this school will probably be expand- ed to 1,200 pupil places and then to 1.500. “When tenders were received. we were short on our estimates about $46,000. Since then we have shaved off $33,000." Certain features which had been included in the original plans to give the greater flexi- bility that education will need in the next 10 or 15 years. had to be eliminated when they were not approved by the de- partment for grant purposes, he continued. “So the school we are starting tomorrow still has yesterday's ideas." he claimed.
