The Brussels Post, 1976-04-28, Page 16• (By Wilma Oke) Huron Perth Separate School supporters face an expenditure' increase of 13-4 percent over 1975 as a result of a budget passed by the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic] Separate School Board Monday night. The 1976 budget of $3,910,340 means an increase of $464,089 or 13.4 per cent over the 1975 expenditure. "Since we started working on the budget three weeks ago we have decreased the mill rate by 1.94 mills over what we had originally expected," Stratford trustee, Ronald Marcy, a member of the finance committee pointed out. He said salaries and fringe benefits account for 95.74 per cent of the increase and 68.72 per cent of the total budget for 1976. • Mr. Marcy said a breakdown of expenditures reveals increases of 19.97 per cent in instruction, 3.7 per cent in plant operation and maintenance, 14.74 per cent in transportation; while capital expenditure has been decreased by 52.21 per cent. This year the transportation grant has been reduced by 8 per cent which may mean reductions in transportation in September, Mr. Marcy warned. He deplored the fact that in 1969 the Ministry of Education had encouraged county boards of education in the name of equality of education in directions which necessitated extra transportation and which resulted in high transportation expenditures on the part of county boards4 said now this year the cut back in the transpor- tation grant will mean an increase in cost to the local taxpayer of $44,000. He regretted that the cut became necessary all in one year, not a gradual reduction.
