show held at the Old Barrie Fire Hall Karen Board makes complaint about spending cutback By SHEILA McGOVERN Examiner Staff Reporter The ministry of education hasnt heard the last from the Simcoe County Board of Edu cation about the rovincess timing and metho of finan cial restraint Along with copy of its 1976 budget the board is sending Thomas Wells minister of ed ucation fivepage letter pointing out the inequities of the governments financing According to the board the single most disturbing factor with respect to these restraints is the lack of suffi cient time to plan dramatic changes effectively The letter says school boards must Ian now for ex penditures ich will effect operations in 1977 and asks What changes are in store for 1977 The board pointed out five inequities in the govern ments method of financing It says the Simcoe County board will receive less than two per cent increase in grants even though it is ex periencing an increase in population while the pro vincial increase is 88 per cent with decrease in enrol ment Again the board raises the issue that cutbacks in transportation grants effect large rural boards greatly while having little effect on urbanboards The board also argues that further reducing the tran sportation grant on buses Operated by the board is only adding to the problem The timing of the re straints the letter says did mt give any consideration to boards which had already made large financial com mitments Because of this the local boards commitment to build new Bradford high school which was already under con struction when restraints were announced will cost taxpayers an additional $200000 The letter points out the school boards financial situation is getting worse The boards budget has been so emasculated that newlyannounced cost in creases granted by federal and provincial governments or their agencies will create deficit in 1976 and increase mill rates in 1977 These include increases in the cost of gasoline oil and natural gas prices and Anti lnflation Board rulings which are exceeding strict guide lines already established Board decides not to support provincial salary bargaining The Simcoe
