board of education the proposal known as the martin model shifts revenues from taxes col lected locally to the pro vince its now under con- sidration by the ontario government through the ministry of education board members feel it will have a serious impact on their jurisdiction and they are attempting to gar ner support to block its im plementation the martin model is an attempt by the province to achieve a greater equity among public and separate school boards through the mechanism of pooling com mercial and industrial assessment on a province- wide basis according to a durham board of educa tion press release school boards spending above the maximum ordinary ex penditure ceilings provided by the ministry of educa tion in 1984 2297 for each elementary school pupil and 3140 for each secondary school student would raise the above- ceiling portion by levying taxes on residential and farm properties these taxes would be at the boards disposal to cov er education costs howev er boards would also be re quired to raise an equiva lent levy on commercial and industrial properties the revenue of which would be sent to the ontario govern ment to be included in a pool of such assessment the funds contained in that pool would then be re distributed by the ministry of education according to a formula not yet revealed to school boards across the province durham region repre sentatives are concerned because the level of provin cial grants has decreased significantly in recent years from the 60 per cent funding commitment made back in 1975 as a result few boards in the
