,Huron County Board of Educa-
tion set its 1976 budget last week
calling for expenditures of $18,-
428,354, which will mean an
average 28.7 percent increase in
the county's education tax.
The budget, up 14.5 percent
from 1975 spending levels, includ-
es a $200,000 reserve fund to help
offset the increase in local levies
which will total nearly $4.8 million.
The board passed its budget at a
special meeting to which it had
invited about 50 local elected
- officials.
Board chairman Herb Turkheim
said the board "has done its utmost
• to pare our hudget to the bare
bone. To cut any more would be , irresponsible.'
The cutbacks, he said, should not
harm thefl quality of education.
Major increase in the budget is a
21 percent rise in the cost of
instruction, which includes teach-
ers' salaries and supplies. Total
cost of instruction will be $13,479,-
658, an increase of more than $2.3
million from last year.
The hoard achieved major spend-
ing cut g by reducing the cast of
education services by 31 percent,
operating expenses by 22 percent
and non-operating expenditures by
nearly 13 percent froth 1975 levels.
, It also reduced by 88 percent the
amount to be spent on replacement
of equipment. -
Trustee John Elliot of Blyth,
,chairman of the board's budget
committee, said a 30 percent salary
increase awarded to teachers last,
year contributed to the increased
cost of instruction.
He also noted that provincial
grants will account for 71 percent of
the board's revenue, compared
with 75 percent last year. That
"eduction in the level. of assistance,
le said, will cost the board about
i860,000, whieh has' to be raised
Asewhere. ,
Business administrator Roy Dun-
lop said the levies against the
county's 26: municipalities should
be calculated and sent to clerks,
within a week.
