Bur CIIPPLEDCHILDREN AIDEZ lES ENFANTS INFIRMES 1Trustees Oppose Extension Grant 1$ystem Grade 13 Separate Schools Although all secondary school taxes go directly to the public school boards, he declared, some 32,611 pupils in Ontario were attending Roman Catholic high schools in September, 1968, yet were deriving no benefits from public secondary taxations. Although the board rejected der Mr. Thompson’s motion that no if! 11 action be taken on the brief 1601 from the OPSTA, their final "131 decision to support the prin- and ciple of a “unified secondary 0113 school system" made no men- the: tion of the brief. can Separate schools in York county do not go beyond grade 8, but a number of Roman Ca- tholic students are bussed to Metro for grades 9 and 10. However, said Mr. Thompson, many parents prefer to enrol their children at the grade 9 level in the public secondary schools rather than have them make the change at grade 11. interrupting the continuity of their education. “If the Catholic high schools were non-existent, some $20 million more would have to be raised from public taxation to educate these children.” The proportion of pupils proceeding from grade 8 to grade 9 in separate schools is decreasing. although, since 1960 the separate school population has increased by some 44.7 per- cent. ‘ At its meeting on February 9, "the board deferred comment on a brief from the Ontario Public School Trustees’ Association, which opposed grants for separate secondary schools, stating “a unified secondary system in Ontario is more compat- ible with the integrated economic and cultural con- text of our Canadian society.” At the following meeting of “We have a second system (th the board on February 23, Ro- Roman Catholic Separat man Catholic representative School System) under the BN1 Trustee Conrad Thompson of Act, but this should not be ex Richmond Hill brought in fur- tended in 1970." ther information to substanti- Vaughan Township Truste ate separate school supporters‘ Ross Jolliffe proposed an an requests for provincial. grants endment favoring “a unifiei for Roman Catholic Secondary system of education," statin; Schools, but he got no support that there should be only on from the rest of the board, educationahsystem in Ontari‘ Apl'oval of the OPSTA brier he said, would cripple the sep- arate school system and lead to virtual collapse of the pub- lic schools in Northern Ontario. Motions and amendments preceded the final decision. Markham Township Trustee John Honsberger moved the board approve the brief in principle. pointing out that private unixersities have had to change their charters because it was too expensive to main- tain a dual system. In his presentation Mr. Thompson pointed out that the separate school system is auth- orized under the British North America Act to operate an ed- ucational system in Ontario, but that provincial grants for sep- arate schools are not available beyond grade 10 level. "It is a luxury for a country to have two systems of educa- tion." sald Mr. Honsbel‘ger York County Public School Bd.
