STUDENT AND STAFF RECOGNITIONS
The East Gwillimbury Historical Society (Clare Eves, President)
The Director of Education stated that the East Gwillimbury Historical Society brings the pioneer aspect of the curriculum alive for students at Holland Landing, Park Avenue, Sharon and Queensville Public Schools. In the pioneer learning centres brought to their doorsteps, the students have an opportunity to touch history, which then becomes relevant to them. He said the society also responds to the learning needs of the older students. Society members are currently working on the history of the Holland River in preparation for a presentation to the Intermediate students. These local, active neighbours and friends are all volunteers who provide our students with an important link to the past. The Director recognized their contributions through Clare Eves, President of the Society.
Karan Gardiner, Policy and Program Coordinator for Human Resources, The Town of Markham
Through her dedication to helping students make the transition to the work world, Karan Gardiner has contributed significantly to the quality of education in York Region. The Director told trustees that, not only has Karan acted as a cooperative education liaison between the Town and all Markham area schools, but she has also made numerous classroom presentations on employee relations, resume writing, and interview skills. Board Minutes - Public Session Page 2 June 20, 1994
In addition, she promotes education and partnership to Town employees. Recently, her efforts on behalf of the Town of Markham led to the inauguration of a partnership with Unionville High School. Karan’s belief in the mutual benefits of partnerships articulates her efforts to ensure a valuable, meaningful and relevant education for all students, teachers, staff, business and the community.
Vic Priestly, Local Entrepreneur
Trustees were introduced to Vic Priestly, a man who believes in the importance of quality education and backs up his belief with both his support and his time. He has offered his knowledge and support to a variety of programs at Aurora High School. In the classroom, he shares his expertise and experience with business classes. He also provides additional support beyond the classroom, offering the use of his property for field trips and his equipment for special projects.
Vic’s advice to students - be the best at what you do, set a goal and work hard to achieve it - has helped students realize that dreams combined with hard work can come true.
The Rotary Club of Newmarket (Gord Cockburn, President)
The Board recognized Gord Cockburn, President of the Newmarket Rotary Club. The Rotary Club of Newmarket has demonstrated its commitment to the youth of Newmarket through a variety of initiatives:
. presenting scholarships to high school students in Newmarket; . sponsoring and arranging international exchanges; . coordinating the Interact Club for all Newmarket residents 14-18 years of age to encourage community service and to help devote students’ leadership skills; . providing financial assistance when needed; . organizing school career fairs; . providing guest speakers for classrooms.
Through these efforts and others, the Rotary Club of Newmarket continues to demonstrate its commitment to education.
York Central Hospital (Ken Tremblay, President and CEO)
The Director indicated that York Central Hospital has been a cooperative education placement for York Region secondary students for more than 10 years. Over the past decade, the hospital has offered excellent training in areas such as pharmacy, obstetrics, physiotherapy, nursing, rehabilitation and emergency. Through this effort, students have had the opportunity to explore possible careers in health care.
Recently, he said, York Central Hospital formed a formal partnership with Alexander Mackenzie High School. Through this partnership, six initiatives are currently unfolding, from job shadowing to assistance with rush jobs and from special project counselling to computer instruction for hospital personnel.
The York Region Board of Education’s partnership with York Central Hospital has provided an exemplary model for partnerships throughout the region. Board Minutes - Public Session Page 3 June 20, 1994
Toronto Sun "Teacher of the Year"
Trustees learned that Buttonville Public School teacher Jean Sena’s philosophy is to be your best. Jean models her philosophy, as attested to in her nomination for the Toronto Sun Teacher of the Year Award by student Mackenzie Sutherland, six and one-half years old. Mackenzie described Jean as "wonderful...terrific...the best." Sheri Sutherland, Mackenzie’s mother, noted that Jean creates "magic in her classroom...I wish I had had a teacher like her."

This feat, however, is not Tariq’s first such achievement. In Grade 9, he shared first place in the North American Atlantic-Pacific Math Contest and was on the national winning team of the Pascal Contest. In Grade 8, he was first in the National Mathematics League competition.
First in Fitness
The Director announced that E.J. Sand Public School has been awarded the prestigious Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation/Fitness Canada Recognition Award for providing a high quality physical education program.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS - RETIREMENT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS DON JOHNSTON
At this time J. Jonsson read the following tribute in recognition of Superintendent of Schools D. Johnston.
"Don Johnston’s career began in 1961 as a teacher of History at Humberside Collegiate in Toronto. With only three years of teaching experience behind him, he quickly discovered the benefits of assuming additional responsibilities when he was appointed Head of the History department. received an outstanding service award from his colleagues for developing a history and contemporary studies curriculum guideline.
Seven years after first branching into education, Don became a program consultant in the Central Region Office of the Ministry of Education. From there he was assigned by the Ministry as a Financial Officer with the School Business and Finance Branch. Don’s expertise and conceptual ability were recognized by the Ministry where he continued to hold various positions for eleven years. Board Minutes - Public Session Page 9 June 20, 1994
Quite separate and apart from his commitment to education, Don was appointed Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve. In this capacity, he served as the senior director at Militia Officers’ Training School and also on 5 Royal Tours. Perhaps one of Don’s most memorable moments in the Reserve came when he was personally decorated at Clarence House by the Queen Mother. He is still active in the Reserve and we are confident that Don looks forward to pursuing this interest during his retirement.
In August of 1988, The York Region Board of Education hired Don as Superintendent of Schools for what used to be called Area G. Don has been a respected leader, known primarily for his ability to calm the waters of conflict. A credit to his expertise was the highly successful opening of Woodbridge College where morale continues to be high and enrolment continues to grow.
School administrators in Don’s area would agree that they learned a great deal from his broad experience in education and from his ability to supervise, provide assistance and develop venues for professional development. I know that the West Education Centre team of Frank Brathwaite and Bill Gordon will miss his camaraderie and collegiality.
Retirement for Don means becoming more actively involved in all of the interests that formerly took a backseat to education. First on his agenda is a trip to Africa. Upon his return, Don will be found enjoying the serenity of his cottage with his wife Rosalyn.
On behalf of The York Region Board of Education, I wish you and your family a retirement filled with good health and happiness. Thank you, Don, for the commitment you have made over the past 33 years to education."
5. Moved by J. Jonsson, seconded by N. Dunlop:
That the tribute regarding retiring Superintendent of Schools D. Johnston be entered into the public record of the Board Meeting of June 20, 1994.

MINISTRY FUNDING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
At this time the Board Chair announced the $76 million allocation received by The York Region Board of Education for capital projects from the Ministry of Education and Training. The Chair indicated the allocation was timely considering the changing demographics, student enrollment increases and the complex nature of education finance. He said that predicting growth and planning appropriately for student programs and student success is the mandate for both educators and politicians.
During the past year the process of planning for the future has been accomplished more expeditiously through the collaborate efforts of a number of individuals. Specifically, he acknowledged the accomplishments of Bev Freedman, Ministry Liaison, who had worked tirelessly on the Board’s behalf and who played a key role in ensuring the Board’s recent success. In addition, the Board Chair acknowledged the fine efforts of Superintendent Ron McKnight and his team of staff which helped to produce a report which provided rationale for the Board’s accommodation needs.

OPENING OF TENDERS, UNNAMED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, BERNARD AVENUE, TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL
Superintendent of Plant Services R. McKnight spoke to the report regarding tenders for the Unnamed Elementary School on Bernard Avenue in the Town of Richmond Hill. He indicated that results of the opening of tenders for construction of the new school had been somewhat higher than anticipated. He attributed this to the design of the building in relation to the park and site configurations and the cost of environmentally sensitive material being used in the project. Board Minutes - Public Session Page 13 June 20, 1994
Superintendent McKnight indicated that staff were recommending issuing a post tender addendum to address this situation. This would involve a review of the project with the architect with a view toward cutting costs through making changes to construction methods, dimensions and materials. The re-tender would be for the revised items only and would be issued to the three lowest tenderers. A report on this process could be presented to the July 11, 1994 Board Meeting. He told trustees that the building permit and site plan approval had been applied for and that the timeline for construction would not be extended significantly by this step.
Trustees discussed the possibilities with respect to this issue. They suggested that perhaps the post tender addendum could be submitted to up to five tenderers for consideration.
A related friendly amendment was made to the motion, which was put forth as follows.
10. Moved by H. Nightingale, seconded by R. Stevenson:
1) That staff and the project architect be authorized and directed to issue a post tender addendum to at least the lowest three general contractors in order to establish a more economical building cost;
