The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board is asking council net te approve residen- tial draft plans of subdivisions that are greater than 30 units within the urban area of Bowmanville and Courtice for a period of six months. "Without the authority te raise funds locally, we are at the mercy of the Province," stated Trustee Bob Willsher in a presentation te council Monday night. "Decisions are made in Toronto based on sta- tistics, financial staternents and the bottom line. Our deci- siens," said Willsher, "are based on the education needsof children and at the present time the accommodation needs of the children'are net being met in the mianner parents expect."

Asmore children move into the commnunity the prob- lem becomes more acute. "If we cannot build new scheols, then we necd te stop the flow of new homes," said Willsher. The old method of 'let them corne and welIl build them aa school' is ne longer acceptable te parents says Willsher, and he agrees. A better plan in Willsher's view would be te have devel- opers build schools within new commun ities,; and have school boards lease these buildings for as long as they are required. Willsher aise reported that at the last Board meeting, it was decided te close the Kendal School and Cook's School in Cobourg.
