Mr. Talos spoke for nearly 45 minutes regarding the busing issue that he feels is the crux of the problem regarding Port Dover Composite School’s enrolment issues. He said he was "forced to go through the Freedom of Information Act in order to obtain information that should be readily available" from the Transportation Department of the Board and he called for "more transparency" from this department.
When reached by phone on Thursday for comment, Mr. Talos confirmed his resignation from ARC and said "he felt constrained by the vague rules set by the committee" as part of his reason for this action. Though he was "pleased with the support of the community", the indifference of some of the committee members regarding certain significant issues, like busing, has left him frustrated. He went on to say that he felt "he was a non-factor" on that committee.
"Certain people around the table didn’t even bother to pick up the information packets I prepared for them, and left them behind after the meeting," Mr. Talos said.
He feels optimistic that "perhaps I can do more outside the committee than within it. PDCS is such an asset to Port Dover. I will continue to support this endeavour." Mr. Talos has taught at PDCS for 12 years.
