In rhn Administrator Wendy Hicks at switchboard usually manned by support staff Examiner Photo ltamsay says the increase was slightly lower than we ex pected but not surprising He notes the low increase goes against recommendations of commissions that say the provincial government pay more for education and take the burden off municipal taxpayers but that appears to be govern ment policy and we have to live with it The increase means provin cial grants to school boards this year will total about $2 billion up 31H million over last year The increase is $0 million less than the 1078 increase lovcinnient grants cover an average 01 51 per cent ot school hoard expenses The increase means school boards can spend $1400 for each elementary pupil and $10ttit for each secondary pupil There is no way 427 per cent reflects the inflation rate says Bill Itolgcr director of the Simcoe ounty ltomaii athohc Separate School Board Its part of continuing trend to shift the taxation burden to the local scene Ihats been bothering us for sometime Itolgcr says its too early to predict the implications of the low grant as 17 per cent is prouncial avcragc and the amount will vary for ililfcrcnt boards Were not anxious to cut our programs though think peo plc are happy with what we of fer dont think our programs arcextravagant The rate at which the grants will rise is contrary to provinr ciai commissions rccoiiinien dation that grants to school boards keep pace with inflation and be raised at least 10 per cent annually says liolgcr Weve soldicrcd on through tough times before and we will again Itolgcr says BytARIllilRSlC if The Examiner lnsidc Georgian College past the picket lines students say its hard to tell strike is going on The strike at Georgian and the other 21
