Salaries range from a minimum of $9,000 in the lowest category to a Following Monday afternoon's regular meeting of the Huron County board of education, the salary agreement for elementary teachers was handed out to the press. (Board members received theirs last week.) The one-year contract calls for a seven percent total increase in the over-all salary agreement ratified by the Board and teachers in June. Mr. Cochrane said the sum of $225,000 will be paid to the elementary teachers, principals and vice-principals on staff as of September, 1973. maximum of $20,000 ($19,000 last year) in the highest category of qualification. A memorandum distributed to the trustees at the meeting established the 1974 policy, setting spending ceilings per pupil, by the ministry of education. At a press conference, D.J. Cochrane, director of education for the board, said: "On the, sur- face it looks good. However, it will depend on what the weighting factors are." Weighting factors are based on assessment per pupil and are designied to equalize the ability of a board to pay, Mr. Cochrane explained, saying that in heavy industrialized areas the assessment is higher than in lower populated areas such as Huron. The memorandum established the 1974 policy, setting spending ceiling per elemen- tary pupil at $683, an increase of $53 or 8.41 percent on an average. The ceiling per secondary school pupil will be increased by $80 or 7,08 percent to $1,210. In Huron Mr. Cochrane said the increase in spending ceiling would amount to $92 elementary and $126 secondary. In 1973, the elementary ceiling was $591 and the secondary $1,084,, Mr, Cochrane emphasized that the board may choose not to reach the'new ceilings in an effort to hold down the cost to local tax- payers. He said the stated ceiling figures represent the maximum amounts which may be spent for each pupil subject to the adjustments via the weighing factors which are designed to average out spending power of boards across the province, depen- ding on the number of students. The detailed analysis of the 1974 weighing fac- tors will be announced by the ministry in early November. Special consideration in 1974 will again be given to school boards which are ex- periencing falling enrolments. This is in recognition of the fact that boards have certain fixed costs which do not decrease in proportion to a drop in enrolment, In Huron the enrolment is down this year in elementary schools to 8,101 from 8,285 last year and in secondary down to 4,441 from last year's 4,581, while schools for retarded children are up to 59 from last year 47. This year the board will be allowed to count 60 percent of student decreases in calculating enrolment for grant purposes compared with ,3311;; percent in 1973.,, Many gardening enthusiasts know them as weeds, but such common wild plants us goldenrod, fall aster or Micheitnas daisy, and the brown-eyed susan or Rud- beckia, should not be snubbed as additions to your flower bor- der. If no one in the family suffers from hay fever, these wild plants can add their bright colors to your garden, They are perennials as well, says R.A. Fleming, horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The new varieties of Rua- beeltia, with large, daisy-like flowers, are outstanding, They are usually either bronze or bright yellow with dark centers. If you don't think your friends will be impressed with goldenrod in your garden, you can always call it Solidago. Weeds make good flowers
