and these hot air balloons from sun- sion 7 west of claremont last week board member opts not to seek reelection editors note the following is a letter submitted to the tribune from york region roman catholic separate school board trustee lucille linton she chose to address this letter to the residents of the area in this fashion it is with mixed feelings that i announce that i will not seek reelection as trustee representative for aurorawhitchurchstouffville on the york region roman catholic separate school board i have served two terms over the past six years and have found my com- mitment to catholic education very rewardingof course there were many challenges to face and many yet for the future however i find that since becoming a single parent over three years ago i wish to spend more time with my family for over 10 years i have served in some capacity from parentvolunteer to president of the parents guild to trusteethe many parents who gave generously of their time whether as volunteers in the schools or attending meetings to become better informed and shared their concerns have impressed me very much i have always strived to encourage a balance in the roles of the parents church and school in the education of our children i must express my appreciation to our spiritual leaders teachers and staff who gave unselfishly of their time and were dedicated to making our schools christian communities education by its very nature is always in a state of change or review issues facing the board especially mainstreaming equity and strategic planning will continue to be areas to address but the most critical is the funding mechanism by the province of ontario the need to address equity in funding has continued to be in the fore front of the boards concerns the current deficit endangers the future of programs for our children it is my sincerest hope that the existing inequities be corrected but i fear it will only happen if all stakeholders in catholic education work together to lobby for action finally i wish to express thanks to all who provided me with their sup port and encouragement aurora resident seeking school board trustee position
