The separate board needs schools in the Glen Shields and Pine Valley areas of Vaughan as well as Markham‘s Milliken Mills (Risebrough). The public board lists new elementary facilities in Risebrough and German Mills, and a high school in Unionville, as its top priorities. As a result, on the first day of school this year. those schools were operating at an average of 163 per cent of capacity. Roman Catholic board chairman Larry Pelliccione told trustees last I week that the Education Ministry has promised to announce to both boards a decision on the situation within the next week. Unionville Trustee Ernie Nyitrai urged minister Dr. Bette Stephenson to “get off her rear“ and approve fun- ding. Rapidly v growing subdivisions in both towns have created an influx of students and present school facilities are being taxed to the limit. Three Thornhill separate schools, St. Anthony‘s. St. Lukes and St. Michael‘s. are handling the overflow of children caused by a lack of schools in the south part of the region. The region's separate and public school boards both asked the province for new school funding several monfhs'ago but approvals have been slow in coming. If the ministry report. begun early last summer. is delayed again, trustees warned they are prepared to again visit Queen‘s Park to make their demands heard. Some board members hesitated in asking the two municipalities to impose a freeze on new subdivision approvals. York Region’s Roman Catholic Separate School Board wants Vaughan and Markham to stall approval of all residential subdivision plans until the Education Ministry promises to build some badly needed schools in the two towns. Trustee Rita Zanatta said delaying new plans would eventually boost the costs of new homes‘ Mr. Nyitrai noted the request was not meant to punish either developers or home buyers, but to Half the salary dispute between the York County Board of Education and its secondary teachers was solved Monday night Secondary Schools Board seeking home slowdown Wills topic of two-day library event The sessions will be held in the evening from 8 lo 10 pm. and everyone is welcome to register.

I am in receipt of a list supplied to me by the Assessment Commissioner under Section 23 of the Assessment Act. R.S.O. 1970, as amended, which shows the school support of every inhabitant who is entitled to direct taxes for school support purposes.

TO ALL INHABITANTS ENTITLED TO DIRECT TAXES FOR SCHOOL SUPPORT PURPOSES tn dart-one Town of Richmond Hill [cutie teachers meet at Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School at Aurora to vote on the settlement. It will be administered by the executive of the local federation branch, District 11 OSSTF tOntario Secondary School Teachers Federation). However, there are several questions about the sudden settlement, so far left unanswered. After a two-day closing of the high schools in Sep- tember, the board and teachers agreed to send all outstanding monetary issues to binding ar- bitration. The arbitration hearings were supposed to start November 194 Apparently, provincial mediator Harvey Ladd received a call from one NOTICE If the teachers reject the contract, the ar- bitrator will continue to work toward a solution. said OSSTF officer Eric McLean. He declined to discuss details of the “tentative agreement" since the District Executive voted Monday not to make any public statements until the of the sides for a mediation session last Wednesday. Both groups deny they asked for the meeting and chief board negotiator Bill Monroe said the call came as a complete surprise to him. It‘s obvious one of the negotiating teams has changed its position since the onus is not on the Education Relations Commission to initiate mediation sessions. C.D. Weldon, ‘ Clerk Town ol Richmond Hill The board voted 13-3 in favor of the settlement with Norm Weller (Aurora), Jim (‘orcoran (Vaughan) and Bill Laird (Georgina) dissenting.

Michael’s parents bought him a game that not only made the difference quite clear, but also explained all the fractions in a manner he understood. And he had fun finding the answers. Three-quarters. Seven-eights. On paper Michael was unable to differentiate between the two. It was quite obvious that there was a difference, but he just couldn’t grasp where it lay. A problem.
