program no summer school by greg coates york region i teelirnination of summerichool- may be necessary to reduce education costs in york re gion a board budget subcommittee has included this cut back in its list of re commendations to the finance com mittee we had to look at what aspects would affect the least num ber of students and one of thesewas the elimination of sum mer school said markham trustee earl rowe its not that we feel its un necessary but its a lower priority than many other prog rams i think the public has to be aware that we had to make some tough decisions he added that to reach a recpm- mended mill rate the budget sub committee had fo cut back in many areas trustee rowe named four factors that had to be considered a provincial grant in crease of less than one per cent an en rolment increase of more than two per cent the boards substantial con tribution to special education under bill 82 and a provision for normal salary increases cuts needed after looking at these we ended up with a budget in crease if left un altered of between 10 and 11 per cent which is unaccept able said rowe markham trus tee colin goodfel- j lqw another mem- ber of the budget subcommittee said hes totally against the recom mendation it doesnt make any economic sense and will end up cost- ing the board money for every missed credit not taken at summer school it costs us double to have it re taken in regular school last year sum mer school provided students with a total of 2679 credits of these 1800 were re peat credits due to either failure of a course or upgrading of marks trustee goodfel- low said hes also concerned that the elimination of sum mer school doesnt make any program sense i students take summer school be cause they need it without it a num ber of them current ly accepted at col leges and universi ties may have to wait a year to get in he said there could be an area where a student is weak and without summer school would have to wait a full year to upgrade his her marks increased dropouts he added this move could in crease the dropout rate if students in the grade 9 10 and ii levels dont have the chance to up grade or pass courses at summer school im not con vinced the trustees who voted for this are fully aware of how much it will cost us and the effect it will have on the students said goodfellow trustee rowe said costs were not the only considera tion when making the decision we looked at the needs of the stu dents he said we dont think its a bad program if we had the re sources we would like this and about 10 others as well cutting summer school will save the taxpayer a net of 320000 said rowe i dont under stand mr goodfel- lows logic and re- spectfully disagree with my colleague dining with cal following a business rip to the au rora
