APSLEY VOICE
April / May 2004 |
| by Helen Osborne Since January 5th five meetings have been held to consider the future of Young’s Point, Buckhorn and Apsley Public Schools. Four representatives from each school were involved in the consultations under the leadership of the Superintendent of Schools, Sylvia Terpstra ,and the two Principals, Janet McDougall & Steve Girardi. Trustee Diane Lloyd and the Chairperson of Ridpath P.S. in Lakefield also participated. The members of the committee brainstormed 8 possible options, then developed the Pros and Cons of each option. Our local committee comprised of Lori Lawley, Kim Tucker, Pat Hoffman and Helen Osborne shared the information at two meetings of the Community Discussion group at the Library, at the School Parent Council, and at a Parent/Community meeting held March 4th at the school. Approximately 200 people representing all facets of the community attended the latter meeting and gave the committee a clear message that they wanted the school to remain in Apsley. On March 8th the 12 representatives from the three schools met to reduce the options down to three.
