He la the chair of this board and should behave better." Questions then arose about the tim- ing of the Porta-Pak, the added cost te, tbe Csp and the safety of Hawthorne Village students with so much site work scheduled. Facilities Superintendent Gerr Cullen told trustees he was expecting site plan approval any day for the 10 portable classrooms but that the addi- tion of a Porta-Pak - it has uts own foundation and la attached to the main school structure - migbo require a of Milton. Ihat could delay construc- tion by as many as 10-12 weeks. As for the cost of the Porta-Pak and its installation, the $1.74 million con- tract that would need to, be awarded could be handled within tbe CSP, said board Business Superintendent Steve Parfeniuk. Tbe CSP la a five-year plan for new sehool construction and additions that requires Ministry of Education approval and funding. The board has planned as many as 10 elementary/sec- ondary school building projects valued at a minimum of $100 million. In the end, trustees agreed to recon- I MU à M1LI deilL die uSPl Miotions an add the Porta- Pak to Hawthorne Village in 2006 and to, award a contract for its construction both passed by 7 to 1 votes, with only Downs opposed. SAfter tbe meeting, Tate told Tbe Champion he wasn't sure how the date mix-up occurred but said he believed he bad previously voted for the budget- ing aspect of the porta-pak to be put off until 2007 with ils actual construction to start in the faîl of 2006. Notable in the 2006-07 $380.85 mil- lion total budget is the board agreed to dip int its special educatiun reserve fund for $1. 12 million to meet upcom- ing programt requirements for special IO6ATFINDER1 needs students. In addition to dipping into, the spe- cial education reserve fund, the board also used ils remainmng capital reserve fund of $1.54 million in order to, bal- ance the capital portion of the budget. As well, a debt of $2 million in oper- ating the Centre For Skills Development and Training and the Halton Learning Foundation - board- operated career workforce/training and sehool programt fundraising groups respectively - is expected 10 be man- aged tbrough five payonents of $400,000 annually. The board approved the first repayment in the new budget. Trustees also approved a report from the Halton Leanaing Foundation (HLF) board of directors. It called for forgive- ness of ils current debt and attaining the goal of moving from a 1: 1 ratio of attracting fundraising dollars to HLF costs to at least a 3: 1 ratio in the future. Another issue of interest trustees wanted clarification on before voting on the budget was tbe cost of vandal- ism. A total of $1.1 million was in the '05-06 budget to cover vandalismi 10 school property; the samne amount was budgeted for 2006-07.
