Concerned about classroom accommodation due to the sale of new homes in the area. theBoard of TSA 1 Markham is keeping a close watch on school registration figures. At the December 13 meeting of the board Sup- ervising Principal Eilert Sand reported that the school population had jumped by 23 during the month of November alone (almost a whole classroom) . The increase in the area’s four schools since Septem- ber is 125, while the increase since school closing last June 'is 246. - ation by next September. At the same time, plans have been progressing for a sixth school and working drawings were pre- sented to the Department of Education on this Dec- ember 13. The only alteration required is the pro- vision of a movable partition for the double purpose room. Because this school is designed as a senior school (Baythorn will be a junior school) the double purpose room had been enlarged to 48 by 40 feet and departmental regulations insist that it must be capable of being divided. Although the partition will cos-t an extra $6,000 Mr. Sand felt there was no way to avoid it and that it would probably be found useful in any event. Tenders have already been called for the‘school. Attendance at Bayview Glen Public School has increased from 425 to 472 from June to November; at Ilendermn1.Avenue fron1 471 to 513; at 16th Avenue from 185 to 305 and at Woodland from 489 to 526. Bulk of the new students come from the new North Thornhill Development but many are also from “in-filling” in other areas. Trustee Ernest Scott (who will not be on the board next year) gave a progress report on the system’s fifth school, Baythorn. Both interior and exterior walls are complete as is the wooden roof decking. The boiler room floor has been laid and the room enclosed and heated. Aluminum windows have been delivered to the site and the building will be completely enclosed very shortly. This is a 12- room school which the board expects to have in oper- ation by next September.
