"Before going into the matter of the school budget for the current year, I would like to point out that the Public School Board welcomes the opportunity of presenting some of the facts and figures in connec- tion with their 1956 budget. The Board has spent many long hours on this budget and feels that it is as low as it can possibly be with- out affecting the quality of teach- ing and the general operation of our schools. "In preparing a school budget, there are certain basic elements of cost which enter into every bud- get, and I intend to bring these to you under seven headings: eachers' salaries, 56.94 per cent: took over in January, 1955, they found that the maintenance of the schools had been neglected, and particularly in the case of Lord Elgin School, the Board was faced with the problem of a dingy school. Therefore, our first move was to see that the Lord Klgin School was painted. In addition, the debenture rate that was issued for the Parkside School and St. Andrew's School was not sufficient to cover the cost of landscaping the grounds, paving the parking lots, etc., and this Board, there- fore, had to levy in the current budget to cover the cost of im- proving the grounds. The plans for this year include installing modern lavatory facilities in Lord Elgin year will account for 24.19 per cent of our total revenue, and the bal- ance of our revenue of 1.33 per| cent is from other sources such as) school rentals, etc. { "I hope that I have been able| to bring to you some of the ele-| ments of cost that enter into our budget, and to bring before you | some of the problems that the board had to face when preparing the 1956 budget.
