related issues. Re did not
see SCACs taking an
active role in "running the
;.schools" much to the
relief of most of the par-
ents who have been
involved to•this point.
The .Education
.Minister touched on 'the
area. of the "resource .alio-
cation model;," This'is the
formula the government
is developing to deter-.
:.mine how much money
Will be spent in a given
area. on education on a.
per, student basis. This
model is not complete,
'This is unfortunate as it
really is the key in deter-
mining.if the proposed
reforms are for real, or•
whether they are just the
window" dressing for an
atterrlpt to cut'spending'in`
education:
'Mr. - Snobelen stated,
that while the putpose .of
the funding model'is to
provide 'ann..equitable,
share of resources to'each
school, not every school
will
.receive the same
funding -as the cost Of
providing the services
varies depending on the
location and mix of stu-
dents in the school; -
• The opportunity to •dis;
cuss these issues .first
hand with the Minister of
Education was_ appreciat-
ed. H'e„presented a some-
• what Utopian view of
what the.: future holds for
our children, in the
province's schools.. While
it is certainly possible
.:that this future may dome
to pass, there are .still
many, many unknowns.
• that need to be resolved
to make it happen.
