Some trustees ex- pressed concern about the feasibility of the core concept. but (‘on No time would be a good time for Richmond Hill‘s Commissioner of Finance.

The core concept is a school with a main brick and mortar structure which would include a gymnasium. washrooms. administration centret library and some classrooms. To that main section are added a number of modules. which would be used as classrooms. Ed Joyce, business administrator for the board. explained that the holding or first school in any community would have a core capacity of 650 pupils. The magic number 650 would grant a double gymnasium. All other schools in the same Community would probably have a core built for a capacity of 400. The desirability of building core concept schools is in the future. If the number of pupils at any school increases or decreases the modules could be added [0 or school And in the.evenl that a school is no longer needed in a certain area. the core could be sold to the community as a com- munity centre. He explained the new method of building schools would ensure that in [he future there would be no more white elephant schools that no one could ever use again. Other boards have tried to sell schools to be used as a nursing home or some other project‘ but have failed. But the new cores could in the future be put to some good use in the community. Some trustees were concerned about the new idea. because all they could visualize was a bunch of portables somehow attached to the main building. Again Mr. Boyce solved thal problem by ex- plaining what the cores and modules look like and how there are Ministry guidelines abouL the quality of construction. He told the trustees he would be willing to take any who wanted on a visit to see a core concept school. and that they would find it difficult to tell where the core ended and the modules begin. The modules are not portables. They are built of quality materials and are designed to blend into the main structure as pleasingly as possible. They are also insulated and have thermopane windows. In fact. to build 2 concept school wil about the same permanent brick mortar school.
