Li IRIun 673-1783 HCBE is looking at zero increase by Don Jackson The Huron County Board of Education (HCBE) has reduced their expenditures to the point where they will have a zero increase on the mill rate if the province doesn't give them any `surprises', according to HCBE Director Paul Carroll Carroll discussed the 1994 budget projections the board is looking at following the huge cuts in expen- ditures made this year at the board's regular meeting on Mon- day. Following the province's pledge to keep transfer payments at the same rate as 1993, there has been a great deal of speculation as to what this will mean to the board. In a background information report Carroll explained, "The recent news that provincial transfer payments to school boards will be `frozen' is not necessarily good news." He outlined several other factors which could cause the money Lucknow \.illag arkct LUCKNOW °•..,• 528-3001 We Reserve The Right To Limit Quantities To Normal Family Requirements YORK Frozen Beef,.Turkey or Chicken 200 g Box 2 Meat Pie 1.00 WITH THIS COUPON SAVE 84c on CLARK 1 398m1Tin BEANS !WITH PORK with this coupon Special Price w/o Coupon 3/1.83 Sat Opex LOffer Expires Sat.

He cited Social Contract reduc- tions, transportation grant reductions and a province -wide expanding student enrolment as some of the factors. Also in the report was mention of the standard mill rate which has not yet been released by the province. The standard mill rate is the device the province uses to determine what portion of per pupil expenses must be raised from local property taxes. This provincial decision is the key factor in the education share of the local property tax mil rate. At present, if general legislative grants and the standard mill rate are held to 1993 levels, "There will be a .42 per cent increase at this stage," said Carroll. "Your various actions have in fact brought you to the point where if there are no changes, you will be able to go to the municipalities with a zero increase." This news follows earlier scenerios of an increase of up to 20 per cent if the board merely held their expenditures to the 1993 levels. He added, "If there are surprises (from the province) we'll have new decisions to be made." Carroll stressed that the board has brought their expenditures under control and that "anything else that happens to the local taxpayer is not your doing." There will be a public meeting at Huron Centennial Public School in Brucefield on Thursday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m. At this meeting the board will explain their present financial situation to Huron County parent associations. Anyone interested is invited to attend. Another meeting of the same nature will be held the following Wednesday at F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham.
