Not surprisingly, tise public board is say- ing it's flot enougis and won't come close to, covering tise wage increases it will be expected to award teacisers and otiser employee groups tiis August. Burlington MPP Cam Jackson issued a press release earlier tiis week saying tisas Halton District Scisool Board will receive another $5 million in funding for tiis year. The Halton Catisolic District Scisool Board will receive $9.5 million more. Tbe funding is part of a $350 million boost announced May 10 by tise provincial govemment. Increase shows a solid commitment: MPP Mr. Jackson described tise money as sisowing a solid commitment to public scisools. "Thsis significant investment will give our local scisool board more of tise resources and tools sisey need to enisance Ieaming opportunities for students, he remnarked." Caria Kisko, superintendent of business for the Halton District School Board, said the money is being doled out in ways that don't benefit Halton, which doesn't have declining enroilment or a high proportion of high-needs students. She said the $5 million is actually closer to $4.5 million. Essentially, it's about 1.5 to 1.7 per cent more per student. well short of wbat's needed. she said. Funding outdated "Our funding is essentially 1997 dollars and we're trying to buy tbings in 2002, 50 we're struggling and bave bcen for tihe last four years." This wil belp address some of thse fond- ing sbortfalls that currently exisi, she said, "but it certainly does not belp us at ail in addressing any future cost pressures. sucis as those coming up in contract negotiations witb ail our contract groups." More positive comments were attributed to Lou Piovesan. thse Catholic board dirce- tor. He's quoted as saying be welcomes thse funding announicement. "The local priorities increase is welcome and will partially assist in addressing our needs,' be said. "We are hopeful there will be furtiser funding announcements as a resuit of thse task force undertaking tise review of tise funding formula, reporting back by November, 2002." rVictoria Park Square 9:00 arn to 3:00 prn Fun, Games, Prizes, Crafts Demonstrations and BBQ Thanks to thc SPONSORS... %Ï Milton Community Resource Centre Presents..
