What's the potential?" asked
Trustee Atje Tuyten.
The board also heard last night
from Keith Elston, president of the
Belgrave, Blyth and Brussels
School Fair, which has been
operating for 78 years with board
funding. He said the fair brings
together more than 300 students
from three communities to compete
in different educational areas and is
the only school fair still in
existence in Ontario. It must now
also apply for its $900 annual
budget which the board has
traditionally funded.
"If you as trustees cannot ensure
the board's uniqueness, then what is
your role?" Elston asked the board.
Brugger said former education
director Paul Carroll identified the
girls band and the Belgrave, Blyth
and Brussels School Fair as Huron
County's two "sacred cows" and
added "if it appears the sacred cows
must now be slaughtered, can you
at least have a barbecue and help
raise some money for us."
Rachlis said the board will begin
distributing application forms for
funding in April but said "it's
premature" to discuss the total
amount of funding the board will
have available for groups.
