NV schools receive $250,

NORTH VANCOUVER School District libraries got a
$250,000 boost recently thanks to the school board’s deci-
sion to allocate the money from surplus funds.

The extra money is intended to
help the elernentary and secondary
school libraries catch up, par-
ticularly with some of the new cur-
ticulums, such as in social studies
and language arts.

“A lot of reference material is
really out of date,’’ said assistant

Gym to be
converted
for arts

THE GYMNASIUM at the
William Lucas Centre,
formerly Hamilton Jr. Sec-
ondary School, will enter a
new phase of its usefulness
as a visual and performing
arts centre.

North Vancouver Schoo! Board
recently decided to clarify its intent
to develop the gymnasium along
those lines.

About $50,000 will be ‘Spent on
phase one of the conversion, pay-
ing for the removal of a dividing
wall, painting, carpet installation,
drapes, acoustical panelling and
some seat upgrading.

A second more expensive phase
may follow in the future, to bring
the facility up to building codes
and create a full theatre facility.

Ald. Don Bell was disappointed
that the facility would no longer be
able to accommodate athletic ac-
tivities, particularly gymnastics.

The decision to go with a per-
forming arts centre was the result
of a survey of suggestions for the
use of the gym from district school
principals. These included schoo!
plays, zone band concerts, dance
festivals, choral performances,
visiting performing groups, fash-
fon shows, conferences,
demonstrations and arts shows.

The gym will be leased for about
$1,000 a month, to help offset the
cost of the renovation.

One local group that may be in-
terested in using the facility is
Presentation House, which is look-
ing at placing its focal theatre
school there.

School trustee Ann McDonald
was very pleased with the decision
to orient the gymn towards the
performing arts. :

She was also pleased that the
school district would be taking a
leadership role in the implementa-
tion of the cultural policy.

“] like the fact that there will be
a tremendous number of young
people using this facility,’’ said
school trustee Richard Walton.

complaint.

“T understand advance notice
was given, and when (deputy
sheriffs) returned they were still
there,”’ said Erickson. ‘‘So they
moved to carry out the writ...they
do whatever they have to to carry
out that court order,’’

Should a formal complaint be
received, Erickson said he will took
into the allegations. Currie is con-

Brayne.
This one-time allocation is in

addition to the regular annual

library collection expenditure of
about $175,000, which was not
sufficient to keep the system up to

date.

Of the $250,000, some $151,400
will go to elementary schools and
$98,600 to secondary schools.

“‘But some school libraries are in
considerably worse shape than
others,’’ school superintendant Dr.
Leo Marshall told the board.

He explained that $35,000 would

be taken from the elementary
allocation and $14,000 from the
secondary allocation to first help
those schools falling significantly
below the district norm.

The rest of the money will be
divided up more evenly throughout
the district's schools.

About 70 per cent of the
elementary school funding will go
toward basic literature selections.
The secondary schools will see

about 40 per cent of their allot-
ment directed towards materials to
support curricular changes in
Science, Technology and Social
Studies.

School board chairman
Margaret Jessup said the extra
funding to the libraries had been
discussed for about two years.

“It hasn’t entirely solved the
problem, cither,’’ said Marshall.
