The deficit is the result of the start-up expenses of convert­ ing St. Michael’s Elementary School in Stratford to St. Michael Secondary School. “I’m sorry to say that we didn’t get any grants for the start-up expenses,’’ said Trustee Ronald Murray, finance chairman. He stated that through the combination of provincial grants and local taxes, the normal operat­ ing expenses of the board for the year were covered. Mr. Murray delcared, “I’ll guarantee the $338,000 will be addressed.” Business Administrator Jack Lane said the 1986 financial statement has been audited and will be forwarded to the Ministry of Education. If satisfied with the financial statement the Ministry will give the Board the rest of the 1986 grants amounting to about three-quarters of a million dollars.
