TORONTO (CP) -- Education grants will be increased by some $19,000,000 this year but many school boards will receive lower amounts than the previous year depending on local circum- stances, Education Minister Ro- barts said today. Exact amounts to each muni- cipality will not be known until next July under the new grant system, Mr. Robarts told a press conference. Under the new setup, the de- partment gives each board of ed- ucation one-half of the amount re- ceived last year, The full grant is determined on attendance rec- ords, assessment and population figures, and the cost of school transportation, when provided. All boards of education are compelled to submit annual au- dited statements, said Mr. Ro- barts. It is from this, the amount of grant is determined. "Some of the grants might be down," Mr. Robarts said.

LEVELS OFF Mr. Robarts said the depart- ment's equalized assessment plan started in 1958 has probably now reached the levelling-off stage. He said it was introduced to give a fair division of grants to all boards. The education department this year for the first time will pay increased capital grants, said Mr. Robarts. These are to be paid on gymnasiums, industrial and art classrooms. The grant for classrooms is raised to $25,000 from $20,000 a room in mew schools. Grants are also being paid on cost of school sites. 'Grants Cut Criticized WINDSOR (CP)--Windsor area public and separate school board officials charged Tuesday that re- ductions in grants from the On- tario department of education will cost the 'boards more than $100,- 000 in 1960. T. C. White, chairman of the Windsor board of education, said grants to city public schools alone have been slashed by $47,000. The city separate school board esti- mates it will lose about $28,000. Norman are rising. There have been com- plaints of higher taxes, but when grants are cut there is no allerna- tive to raising taxes still further."
