fastgrowing and slowgrowing areas all re ceive equal opportunity The board notes that under this years formula the minis trys reduction in extraordinary expenditures such as transpor tation and debenture costs the Simcoe County boards will suf fer more than the urban boards and be forced to curtail pro grams The resolutions also call for PD committee gets direction In departure from normal

istry of education uses elemen tary expenditure ceilings when assessing Grade and 10 stu dents in separate schools but uses the secondcrv and higher ceilings when assessing the same grades il the public sys tem The third resolution deals with school bus drivers and asks that the Ontario Ministry of Trans portation and Communications adopt regulation that would require certificate of mechan ical fitneSs of school buzcs be authorized by mechanic other than the owner or employee of the owner of the vehicle being tested The resolution notes lliat many school bus operators employ li censed mechanics and do repairs within their own nd it is possible conflict of interest may occur The trustees alrt want the ministry to introduce legislation making the bound ti Ca tholic school board the same as the county or counties concern ed and ensure that all Catholic taxpayers be zicrirtled to pay separate school taxes Under existing arrsnzcmenls separate board centres are lo cated through tli
