Also the teacher must cram lessons for two grades into time which should be spent on only one. “How can we hope to keep good teachers (as we have now) under quickly deterior- ating conditions when better schools and conditions are easily found in our immedi~ ate area?" asked the brief. In conclusion, it said, "We are pleased with the teach- ers at Concord as well as the teachers pupil ratio. Our only concern is with the ex- isting facilities." School board members in~ dividually assured the dele- gation that they were sym- pathetic with the problems at the school and quite well aware of their existence. Since its inception six years ago. the board had at- tacked the worst problems in the township. said Trustee Ross Jolliffe. “Concord is not the worst school," he said. “but it's not the best either." Mr. Jolliffe stated that for a number of years some of the older schools would ap- pear to be behind as there were still many pressing problems in the township and Concord was not the most serious. Trustee Terry Goodwin pointed out that since the board had been formed it had faced an expanding situ- ation in several areas of the township. New subdivisions at Kleinburg and Maple had required new schools there and a new school had been required south of Richmond Hill. Roselawn School.

With respect to the en- larging of the school yard, Trustee Warren Bailie stated that he had investigated this matter thoroughly. The township is reluctant to agree to purchasing more land for the school, he said. because it expects the school will have a very short life due to encroachment by super-high- ways. Latest plans show the projected Highway 407 com- ing within 200 feet of the present school fence. With a four lane highway to the south and Dufferin Street widened to four lanes. the school would be in a small triangle bounded by these three highways. Goodwin, the board was limited in the amount of de- bentures it could issue for new schools. Mr. Bailie slated however that in conversation with of- ficials of theADepartment of Highways that week he had been told that the depart- ment was now negotiating purchase of farm land adja- cent to the school and that the board would probably be able to lease four or five acres of this land for the next 10 lo 14 years. It was suggested by one of the delegation that if grade 7 and 8 students could be transferred somewhere else, the basement room could re- vert to a playroom and the school yard would be more nearly adequate. Superintendent D. R. Mac- Donald stated that the board discussed this possible solu- tion the week previously and that grade 8 pupils could be accommodated at Lang- staff School. making a class of straight grade 8 there, in- stead of the split 7 and 8 as at present. This however wouldn't relieve the doubled up classrooms at Concord where there would still be a class of combined grade 3 and 4. a combined grade 4 and 5. and a combined grade 5 and 6. l to The Tiger Cub coach was aler.

On hand to help Janice celebrate her birthday were Timmy Greavette, Beverley Stuart, Barbara Kanapman, Lin- da Gamble, David Yates. Sharon Webb and Jimmy Armstrong. Another suggestion was that the 49 children in eight grades at Edgeley be taken to Concord School and grades 7 and 8 from both schools taught at Edgeley. Mr. Mac- Donald thought ‘t-his suggse- tion had merit but, i-t would overcrowd the grade 1 class at Concord. Another suggestion was that a portable classroom be moved onto the property, although it was pointed out that this would further de- crease the play area. Mr. Wells stressed that the board would be agreeable to any suitable plan acceptable to the parents and it was arranged that a meeting would be held at Concord School September 22 at which time Mr. MacDonald would discuss with the par- ents‘the best arrangement. With respect to the lack of a room for visual aids, Mr. Jolliffe stated that two rooms in the schools would be equipped with blackout blinds within the next month. The brief had also complain~ ed about lack of a television set in the school and the delegation was informed that this year's budget had inâ€" cluded the money for the purchase of two sets and that one would be installed at Concord very shortly. The lack of physical edu- cation equipment at the school was also deplored by the board but Mr. Jolliffe stressed that he felt it more important to have a super- visor of physical education who could institute a good physical education program in the schools. Mr. McDonald advised ihat there were two female mem- bers 01 the teaching staff who had their interim certifi- cates in physical education and one male member who would complete his course for this certificate next sum- mer. Such a certificate quali- fies a teacher to super ' e a physical education progni.
