A2 ice CASTLEGAR NEWS, November 12, 1980 there will be sufficient room for our children, including learning assistance areas which I realize is a valid - concern of many teachers. One of my concerns four years ago was ‘the area of communication and provision 4. of information to the public. ead VERA KANIGAN For the past four years, I have served on the board of schoo} trustees in the Castle- gar district. When I first. de- cided to allow my name to stand for nomination to this position, ‘1 expressed my “concern for a quality edu- cation” for our children. After having served four years, I still possess the same concern, Only now I feel that in addition I have gained a certain amount of experience and knowledge about our educational system. Education is an area which is experiencing many changes. Many trustees are looking towards the future in” the hope of being able to “keep up with the times.” ‘Our district has supported many new programs and in- creased services these past few years. Since I have been on the board the area of service to the handicapped child has greatly improved. Our learn- ing assistance program is ex- panding every year and in some special education areas we are quite advanced. The second language el- ementary program has been established in all our elem- entary schools and, in addi- tion, most of them offer Rus- sian as an alternate to French int Grades 5, 6 and 7. This year, after much discussion and research by our principals and teachers’. we have approved the estab- lishment of a program for Grades 2 and 5 gifted stu- dents. A teacher has been assigned and is presently ‘¥testing children and compil- pings b information in prepar- “ation for implementing the program in the, new year. Most of the school dis- tricts in B.C. are experi- encing declining enrollment. However, in Castlegar, our district enroliment has re- mained approximately the same as last year. Some of That aréa is slowly being improved and enriched. In. addition to our school news- letters, our Public Relations Committee attempts ‘to use the media available to inform our community about: educa- ‘ tion-related topics. I have mentioned some -of the programs and services which have been steadily improving. However, I must mention that both of our secondary schools have been accredited, . receiving very commendable remarks and observations. The dedication of our staff and support of the community has contribited to the high quality of edu-. cation that our schools are providing. The job of a trustee is time-consuming, but intereat-” ing and satisfying. To be able to attend all of the committee meetings assigned to each trustee one should be ready to donate his/her time when a person runs for this posi- tion. in discus- the parts for thelr sugges- tions so we can attain‘ our mutual goal of educating and supporting the young while they learn of their full human é “by. sonal power niissions ~ full list ‘of priciest abou! such issues as solid promo- and business opportunities” that will be real 16 and. 20: years hence, I believe in democracy’ and this country, despite the fact that values are ‘ ratem of ‘sme aide ++» or should be. e-adversary tion of which will draw the adult community into the educa- tion system and better utilize $12 million in plants and equipment which sit idle two-thirds of the day.

I think all of the’ members have many valu- able and useful ideas which should be heeded. : + I think discipline, res- pect and a sense of value for quality -work must return again to the school system. a We are fortunate in sion and formulation of de- cisions is one way in which | the average lay person has control over education. As a school trustee I served the people to the best © of my ability and will con- tinue to do so in the future with their support'on Nov. 16. --I do not run for school board because I am against anything.
