Despite efforts of WV trustee

THE NORTH Shore Independent School Society is seeking to negotiate a leasing agreement with the West Vancouver School Board, but the battle ap-

Pears to be uphill.

Representatives of the Socie- ty met with trustees Monday nipht in an incamera session. The ‘‘secret’’ meeting had been arranged prior to the start of the public mecting; however, trustee Norm Alban requested that the meeting take place in public.

**We don’t normally deal with those items in a private meeting ... I think the issue is very important and I think there is nothing particularly secret about it,’’ Alban said.

The board voted to hold the meeting in public, but when the Society said they were unwilling at the Monday meeting to discuss the issue in public, the board reversed its decision.

Society representative John Humphries told the board, that although his group was ‘‘perfectly will- ing’’ to meet in a public forum, it was not prepared to do so until the following

mecting. ‘

Earlier, the West Van- couver School Board had written the Society explaining that its current policies con- cerning rentals placed private schools at the bottom of the list for school allocation.

However, the letter did state that if negotiations with the North Vancouver School Board were unsuccessful (they were), then the society should ‘‘contact us’’

Stull, West Vancouver School District, according to an cartier statement from Dawn Sikula, is concerned over the issue of a private school being located in the District.

Funding for public schools from the provincial govern- ment is determined by enrollments. West Vancoffter currently is teetering above the 5000 mark.

If it drops below that figure, it can lose substantial amounts of funding for items such as facilitics and maintenance.

Hutchinson still

pushing

spelling

IT MAY not be long before streets in the Caulfeild Plateau area of West Vancouver receive proper

spelling.

In response to a letter of sup- port from a West Van resi. dent for Ald. Diana Hutchin.- son’s plan to obtain correct spelling for these streets, Hutchinson said she 1s not going to let the tssuc dic without action.

The problem ts a numbcr of streets in the Caulfeild Plaicau have been spelt following the paticrn§ of C aulfeild, with ‘ficld’’ spelt **fcild”’

The name ‘‘C aulfeild’’ is spelt correctly because i is a man’s name —- Captain Caulfcild, one of the foun- ding fathers of West Van couver All other streets that fotlow the pattern are spelt incorrectly and Hatchinson wants them changed
