Education has received its grant regulations from the Ministry of Education and the outlook is bleak as expected Steve Musy assistant superintendent of business said when comparing last years grant rates on the cur rent budget and this years rate on the same budget the boa rd comes out $13 million less In terms of dollars he said the board is receiving the same amount of money as last year even though the student enrol ment and costs have gone up Mr Musy cxpfaitied that the $3 million loss automatically puts the local average tax rate up 13 per cent LOOKS FOR lTS Bill Straughan chairman of the budget committee in dicated this does not necessart ly mean the 13 per cent will be passed on directly to the tax payer Ilis committee is looking for ways of reducing the percen tage he said Jack Ramsay director of education explained that the majority of the money has gone into the elementary panel an area this board has always done well in keeping costs down Boards with only an elemen tary panel will not be in bad way he said but boards with both panels are being hit very hard Separate school boards only have elementary school panels This not only creates serious problem for the board he said but also makes it dif ficult for the public to unders tand AlIOMAIRALLY OVER Mr Ramsay explained the ministry has also changed its spending ceiling regulations and while the board has always been lily white in staying within the ceilings this change automatically puts the board $15millionovertlielimit The director said he could not see how any board could live within these secondary ceil ings and cannot explain why the ministry chose to make cut backs in this manner We cant explain what we dont understand Mr Rani say concluded Now that the grant regula tions have been received the board is awaiting verification of assessment information from tit municipalities The budget committee will meet April 12 and likely report to the board April the board will then set date for its

would take halfday leave of absence without pay but later changed his mind saying he would remain fulltime teacher Mr Ramsay said the boards insistance is that the teachers job will be done If he is not doing his job he will expect him to make other arrangements Mr Ramsay said adding he expects Mr Perri would be the first one to make the decision to leave one job if he feels he cannot do both properly Mr Ramsay said teachers are entitled to take five days chargeable to sick leave to participate in community ac tivities but these days are one ly granted in the case of an emergency and at the discre tion of the board Only one such day has been granted Mr Ramsay also indicated there would be no special provr sions made for phone calls dur ing school hours Allen Fisher of Barrie asked if Mr Perris candidacy could not result in conflict of in terest 111PERRI mayor and teacher lr Ramsay replied that there is legislation governing conflict of interest and when an instance occurred Mr
