The forecast adopted last Tuesday calls for a four -room addition in Port. Elgin- Saugeen in 1991 and a new "limited school" with four classrooms and a smaller -size gym in either Port Elgin or Huron Township in 1995. Inglis said the board will finance the ambitious list with provincial grants and a combination of debentures and mill rate increases. "I think that's the way to go," Inglis said, noting that debentures help keep the mill rate increase down and give the board a stable idea of what its expenses are. Estimates are if all the projects are approved, the board will have to deben- ture $6 million by 1995 in addition to the $2.75 million debentured in October of this year. Don Stobo, Teeswater trustee, said he fears the financial load of debenturing means an uncertain future for the board. "My concern is where the financial future of our board is going," he said. "I wonder whether we can afford where we are going. Debenturing is an added cost to the board." Trustees were told the capital forecast will mean an extra expense of $2 to $2.5 million a year for the board. Part of that will be offset by increased grants from enrolment growth. The board's 1989 budget was $53 million. "It's a lot of money, but if we're going to have the increased growth and some of the programs that are being mandated on us, I don't know what choice we have," said Alvin Thompson, outgoing chairman. He noted all projects depend on provincial grants. "If the money isn't available maybe some of the things will have to be pared down," Thompson said. The forecast calls for additions at Wiarton Public, Amabel Hepworth and Arran Tara schools, along with a new "limited school" to serve Sauble Beach in the 'next, two years. Other projections are for a six -room addition at Kincardine District in 1992; a <four -roots addition at Walkerton Public in 1993; a .four -roam addition :at Lucknow Central, and six rooms at ;Kincardine 'Township -Tiverton Public in 1994; four rooms ,at 'Northport in Port 'Elgin, four MOMS at Saugeen District and a "limited school" for Port Elgin or Huron 'Township in 1995. Martindale emphasized that the forecast, especially in the third to fifth year :phases,'doesn't mean that the board will get ;the funds ,for the :projects. It on- ly indicates to the Ministry of Education that the .board is ,expecting continued tgrawth and -seeds to replace portables. trxtcivtwtttel:ii%iiiliilii3 sp Y att A�+ A\l GW AJ fq. sNt (41.`moi` EPSON LX -810 • 180 CPS 9 Pin Printer •Auto paper load eject •Front panel control with paper park PC 20I 020 MB 31/2" Hard Drive 051/4" Floppy Drive •Multi -Speed Processor •Colour Graphics •Monochrome Graphics There's never been a better time to enjoy the power and value of Commodore and the time is -NOW!
