School board shorts _ Parents’ TERRACE — School trustees want a meeting with parents to give them information on changes coming to the school system under the province’s Year 2000 program. The idea follows recent ques- tions about the sweeping changes and some of the teaching methods connected to the system. . Trustees at their April 10 meeting said they want to have the forum before the end of classes in June, after the pro- vince releases the latest version of the intermediate program. The intermediate program is to replace the present grades 4 = through 10. ‘The parents have requested someone from the ministry be . there so they can go directly to ete 4 oe fatetet ome 8 wee beats Lbeebbh oo <, Se te wre Tateretata sé (Ad * ah Se » YJ “af ». the source and ask what's going on,’” board chairman Edna Cooper said. This would be the second such forum on the Year 2000 ‘- plan. The first was held in * January. Overruns attacked — School trustees responded to news of a $1,200 cost overrun in school field repairs by telling the regional district the board won't pay its share in any future overruns. School field maintenance ex- penses are shared by School District 88 and the Kitimat- Stikine regional district. A fecent project to improve fields at Copper Mountain elementary school went over budget by more than $2,300. The school district’s share of the overrun is half of the over- run, Board finds bussing OK School District 88 has in- vestigated and dismissed allega- tions Farwest Bus Lines Ltd. is ignoring safety requirements in its school bussing contract. The charges came after a Jan, 26 accident on Hwy16 East in which a loaded logging truck and school bus collided near the Kieanza Creek subdivision.

School board chairman Edna Cooper said the board has been assured safety drills will be con- ducted in accordance with the bussing contract and that more drivers will take defensive driv- ing courses. She also dismissed allegations the bus driver didn't have first aid training. Fountain purified The board approved spending $1,200 on a water purification system for a drinking fountain at New Hazelton Elementary school. Local water supplies are con- taminated by “beaver fever’’ and high colliform counts. The school district has been paying roughly the same amount each year to truck in bottled drinking water to the school, officials said. The purifier uses ultra-violet light to kill bacteria in the water, administrative staff said, but can only attach to one _ drinking fountain at the school. Trustees said’ they had waited - for a year in“anticipation-the water contamination problem would clear up. _ Playground wanted A parents committee from John Field Elementary school in Hazelton pleaded with trustees planned to find money somewhere in the budget for a new playground for the school. “Is there a chance that wecan | yet rescue any part of this pro- — ject?” one parent asked the board. Committee members said ' parents have already raised half the cost of the $20,000-plus pro- ject. Trustees voted to refer the re- quest to the in-camera portion of the night’s meeting and later refused to indicate what deci- sion had been made until the parents were notified, Trip money questioned Trustees passed a another motion calling on ad- ministrative staff to determine what proportion of student travel money is being raised by the students, parents and teachers in area schools. A similar motion was passed earlier this year, but this time trustees also. asked the study find out what trips and events had to be cancelled because not enough money was raised, The board contends Victoria should provide northern B.C. schools with more money for. extra-curticular travel because’ students here usually have to travel much further on band and school sports trips than their lower mainland counter- Parts.
