Page Z Special Meeting of Council 15 November 1966~ continued: Mr. Carman reported an:eeting held on October last in Toronto when 3 delegates of the Durham County District High School Board were present to hear an address given b,. the Department of Education of Ontario concerning the new developments'be~anticipated in th1$ province which"will influence elementar,.education. The movement, it was explained~ is to consolidate Under Boards of Education whereb,. a school would have Grades 1 to 13 inclusive. This would giv& our educational system the broader aspect so the top, middle and bottom levels of student aptitudes could be better trained or better educated to suit their best requirements for livelihood. Mr. Strike, a ratepa,.er in the 'Township of Clarke, who had been one of the delegates representing the Durham Count,. District High School ,Board spoke at 'some length on ,the worthiness of School Boa.rds and Counc~:is P:Lanning a large central school rathe~, ,than. adding acco~odation to a nwnber 'of smaller schools"~ 'The 'idea of the central school~ nEt said, 'is coni:i.ng and 'a inu:n.:1eipality should prepare themselves for it',- 'In 'the interest's of good education such advances can be tied in With better education and planning. . SchOOls shoula be established in planned residential areas. Mr. Strike was of the opinion that the population in the ~ed~ate area did not support the establishment of a new school to be constructed on Lot 25, Concession 6 of the Township of Clarke. Reeve J. W. Stone asked if this presentation or petition had been made to the Trustees of the Township School Area of Clarke and upon receiving an answer from the delegation in effect that no p~esentation had been made to the said School Area Board he theref'ore' 'stat'eel 'that the, delegation should consider meeting ~th the Trustees of the said School Board to make a similar presenta.tion before bringing it to the attention of this CounQil. Further, the 'Reeve , informed the delegation that Council had given the Board tentative approval only f'or the issuing of debentures~to rais,e sufficient monies to construct a new school en Lot 25, Concession 6, Clarke at an estimated cost of $2$O~OOO.OO. Deput,. ReeveL. A. Perrault was of the opinion that ' the Inspector of Public Schools was satisfied with our present sy.stem of maintaining 4 schools which are located more or 'less in ,the corners of themunicipalit,. and that the ,County 'Consultative School Committee was also sat1sf'ied with ' this' plan. Mr. Carman quoted the follOwing from a speech given b,. Mr. J. 'H. M. 'Andrewa, Department of Education of Ontario, on October 21, 1966 at Toronto during the conference of the Ontari~ 8ehool Trustees and Munic~pal Councillors ASsociation: I~he Department of Education has set as the goal a district ~ontaining at least 3~000 pupils and a school of at least 300 pupils. ,A public school district of this size feeding into a single high' school would support a composite school o~ about'l,OOO pupils. Research indicates'that these goals are, if anything, on the low side. A district of' 10~OOO pupils is frequently cOn,cluded to be the low end of the' optimUm size. II, The' delegates were agreed that the petition or present- ationshol11d'be made to the Trustees of'the Township School Area of Clarke. ' '. The members of Council expressed their agreement to meet with a representative of the Department. of" Edueat10n together with a representation of the petitioners and members of the Board of the Township School Area of Clarke if and when such a meeting were arranged b,. the said petitioners.
