schools, $17,582,085 into the
operation of Huron’s six secondary
schools, $810,403 into programs
for the mentally handicapped, and
$2,953,459 into the operation of the
system’s administration centre in
Clinton.
Salaries and benefits to teachers
represented by far the largest
figure in the budget, a total of
$25,407,877 paid to the county’s
243 secondary school teachers,
principals and vice-principals, and
to its 326 elementary school
professionals, making the Board of
Education one of the largest
employers in Huron.
Salaries and benefits to teach
er’s aides totalled $489,197; to
school secretaries, $733,903; to
custodians, $1,555,162; and to bus
drivers, $236,331.
$2,067,606 was paid out in
salaries and benefits to admini
stration centre personnel, includ
ing $698,419 to the administration
staff of 22, and $81,335 to school
board members and advisory
committees.
Resident external tuition fees on
both the secondary and elementary
panels cost $1,074,874; and staff
improvement plans cost $99,024
for the year.
Regular maintenance of county
schools cost $268,059; renovations
and repair projects cost $436,138;
while emergency repairs totalled
$182,114. $789,204 was spent on
utilities and heating of facilities;
