(By 'Jeff. Seddo•nl •
The Huron County liqard of
Education approved its 1978
budget 'in' a special meeting
Thersday night and increased the
education Mill rate, by 5.76
percent in Huron.
The $20,352,954 budget' was
presented to the board in public
session add received little
Criticism by trustees. sk few were
concerned 0100 small expenses.
at schools in their jurisdiction but
those concerns. involved minor
expenses.
The province -Ticks up". 69. 5
percent of thp costs for education .
in • Huron and the remaining''
$6,217.',938 is the amount paid for
by e county's 26 municipalities.
S erintendent of business
a irs Roy Dunlop explained the
30 age document to the board
peinting out that after provincial
grants the, board's expenses
totalled $6,178,399. An under
levy of $39,539..brought abmit by
the board's conservative requisi-
tion , in 1977, made the total
requisition this year $6,217,938,
an increase of 7.72 percent.
The hulk•of the education costs
`pare .salaries. which take up about
75 percent of the money collected
by the board. The 31 day high
school teacher „ „strike saved
taxpayers in the county $213,959:
That amount is the county shai;e
of the $653,228 in salaries that
wcrent.paid.upic, March 31-wijon-
the budget was struck.
Dunlop explained that
provincial grants on to achers
salaries pays, about 60 percent of
the 'wages. he said, the. province
saved $383,981 up to March, 31
and tuition fees paid by neighbor-
ing school boards toward teacher
salaries totalled $55,288, . The
tuition fees arc for students living
outside the jurisdiction of the
Huron board but attending Huron'
.County schools,
Each municipality in the county
will have its share of the $213,959•
returned.Goderich gets the lion's
share of the return $32,500.
Exeter will get $13,019, Wingham
$10,424, Clinton $8,691 and
Seaforth $5,621, The county's five
villages and 16 townships will
also be getting a return.
Dunlop said he was surprised
that the budget increase was as
low as it was but pointed out that
the small increase this year could
create ;problems for next year if
trustees are-not wary. He said
sa lades for board employees
4ettriffirlor75 perceet of the total
requisition and that if trustees ,are
not tough at. the negotiating table
bargaining on 1978.79 wages the
budget could be up considerasbly
next year.
'The biggest decrease in • the
budget was under capital
projects. Those costs are down
.48.9• percent front last year. In
1977 the board spent $225,990 for
renovations to Exeter Public
Schsiol and thjs' , year have
earmarked $120,000 for work at.
Goderich District' Collegiate
Institute. and Huron . Hope in •
Wingham.
Cotborne township trustees
Shirley Hazlitt raised the most
objection to the budget. She
wantesi an expalnation as to why a
chain link-fence to-be constructed
'at Colborne Public School•was not .
included in the budget, She said
she understood the fence, to--
,border the school 'playground
along County Road One, was put
'off last year when the road was
widened and resurfaced and was
to be budgeted for this year.
Hazlitt said the board balked at
a suggestion from, the county .to
trade a strip of land the board
owned.that was to be included in •
the county road allowance 'for a
farm fence to be constructed by'
the county. she said the board-
decided then to take the $600 for
the land and earmark the money'
for a chain link fence. She said the
chain fence was more desirable
for safety reasons.. .
Budget committee member and
board chairman John Elliott said
the budget committee considered
all requests from school
principals and approved those
requests as moliey• permitted. He
said the $600 was grouped in with
the funds' available, for school
maintenance .and capital projects
and that the $3,400 fence was not
'affordable.
The trustee voted against" the
1978 .budget.' tor those reasons
pointing' out that she felt the
expense fork 'the fence• was
justified.She was the only trustee
to vine against the budget. •
Seaforth trustee ' John.
Henderson. said he was curious
about a request for fertilizer for
F.E.Madill Secondary School in
Wingharn. The request .was, for,..
$350 for-fertilizer for the playing, •
fields .• at the: school and
Henderson asked if that wasn't a '
great deal of fertilizer for one
, •
Dunlop exPlained that the
school fields had not been done
for two years and that the money
would buy two tons of fertilizer.
He saidhe-cheelted-files•ifor the
last mitchase order for•the School • and it was also for two tons..,
Clinton . trustee .Dotothy
Williams wondered -why there:
was ' a $1,400' spread between
requests from • two secondary,
schools for calculators when there
was only three more 'machines in
the more expensive purchase.
She said, :Central HUron
Secondary School in ,Clinton
asked for five, calculators costing
$480 while. . Godferieh 'District
Collegiate, wanted eight: costing
$1,840. . • •
Dunlop said the sptead was
caused by the differeet abilities in
the. machines •
