Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1978-01-19, Page 2le-a, Want Wintario grants The Huron County Board of Education supported a resolution that the govern ment of Ontario consider making boards of education eligible for Wintario grants. The Huron board agreed with the resolution at its regular meeting Wednes day. The resolution, adopted by the Simcoe board of educa tion in November of 1977. asked the province to con sider making Wintario funds available to boards to finance needed general pur pose rooms and library resource centres. The Simcoe board noted in its request for support that the ministry of education, due to financial limitations, is unable to fund capital projects for school boards other than those projects which will provide ad ditional pupil places. Many school boards in the province are unable to generate finances to take on these projects on their own and are thus unable to provide the general purpose rooms and library centres. Wintario funds are available to communities for municipal projects not supported by tax dollars. The money is available for public projects endorsed and supported by municipalities but not paid for through collected taxes or special purpose taxes. The Wintario funds are matched dollar for dollar against money collected in the community through donations or fund raising projects. The Simcoe board reason ed that the facilities it suggests be eligible for Win tario funds are available and used . frequently by the general public. Many times the facilities in the schools are the only ones in the com munity and’ are used for cultural and recreational ac tivities. Colborne trustee Shirley Hazlitt told the board that she agreed in principle with the resolution but felt that 3 construction of the facilities should not be a priority. She , said declining enrolment in J the province is reducing the need for construction programs and she felt the Wintario money should be used for equipment for the facilities. “I don’t think there’s a - public school system in the province that doesn’t have extra classrooms,” said Hazlitt. “The money could be used- for equipment for ■ ■ . those classrooms that would convert them to general pur pose rooms or library cen tres.” John Henderson, the Seaforth trustee, reasoned that a provincial decision to support the resolution may result in money spent on things school boards really don’t need. He said without guidance from boards money could be spent on projects that may have very limited use by schools and communities. Board chairman John Elliot said he saw merit in the resolution but added that he “doubted very much that the provincial government would act on it”.
