The Response says, "At the outset, the Trustees of the "Lake Superior Board of Edu- cation would like to ex- press their appreciation to the Minister for the appointment of the Commissioner to study the problems associat- ed with the delivery of education in small sec- ondary schools in North- ern Ontario, and spe- cifically, to study. the numerous and varied problems confronting the LSBE in this delivery of program» and ser- vices."' 'Further the Trustees would like to convey to the Minister their appre- ciation for the wise choice of G. Rodger Allan as the Commis- sioner. Mr. Allan's wealth of experience as an educator, his sensi- tivity to people and to issues, and his apprecia- tion and understanding of the problem of the north made him an ex- cellent choice for a very difficult assignment. His sense of timing, his choice of words, his use of humour on many oc- casions diffused tense -and potentially volatile situations. His report, although not always ap- -- in its entirety y all parties, has, nevertheless, met with general acceptance, con- sensus and support. It is viewed as a comprehen- sive and fair analysis and articulation both of the problems and the resolution of problems long ap- in the North." LSBE maintain the two- campus organization of the Lake Superior High School. On April 26, the board made a commit- ment to the provision of elementary and second- ary education in each community in its juris- diction and consequent- ly to the retention of the Schreiber Campus. These resolutions were passed in 'good faith' by the board and were pre- dicated on the good will of the Ministry in res- ponding as well to the Commissioner's recom- mendation of doubling the small school weight- ing factor. It is impera- tive that adequate fund- ing be available not only to retain a twinned cam- pus in the communities of Schreiber and Ter- race Bay, but also to improve the.program of- ferings in the communi- - ties of Marathon and Manitouwadge. Given the high cost of ad- ministering, operating and delivering programs and services in very small secondary schools in the four communities a substantial increase in the weighting factor must be realized. "The Board supports the Commissioner's recommendation "that the Ministry increase the small school weight- ing factor by introducing an isolated secondary school factor." It would appear that 'doubling the small school weight- ing factor' would con- siderably alleviate the high cost of providing and improving educa- tional programs and ser- vices in the four com- munities." The Board also press- ed in its Response for additional money for improvements for the schools in Marathon and Manitouwadge. "The LSBE concurs with the Commissioner's recom- mendation that capital grants be available on a priority basis to those schools who do not have the facilities to provide BLUE NIGHT". 4 Thank-You Thanks to Relic, Animal, Jigger, Sparky, Carson and all who helped make my stag a "TRUE Corey Fischer Ministry school pro- grams compulsory cred- its.
