Huron doesn't
want to consider
amalgamation
BY AMY NEILANDS
CLINTON - With the announ-
cement on Feb. 24 that Dave
Cooke, Minister of Education, will
establish a task force to supervise
the possible amalgamation of
some school boards in Ontario,
the Huron County Board of
Education (HCBE) hopes that the
task force will strongly consider
the co-operative measures the
board has already taken with area
school boards.
It was announced that the
government will reduce school
boards by between 40 and 50 per
cent. If boards in northern On-
tario, where there are a smaller
number of schools, are reduced in
numbers and French boards are
reduced from 77 to a possible 15
boards, then the 40 to 50 per cent
reduction will be reached, not
affecting the Huron board, said
Paul Carroll, director of education
for the HCBE, at the March 6
board meeting.
Chair Roxanne Brown also said
they may look at city boards for
possible amalgamation. Metro
Toronto needs to be addressed,
she said.
"Who knows what the
government is going to do?,"
asked Brown.
Aside from reducing the number
of boards, Cooke announced that
there will be reduction in board
administration costs, a cap of
S20,000 on trustee compensation,
a redefinition of the trustee roles
and a requirement for boards to
start sharing services in order to
reduce duplicate spending.
This will no longer be voluntary,
said Carroll.
Carroll added that the Huron
board has had a "long history of
collaboration with the Huron -Perth
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board and other public boards."
Brown said that the Huron board
has shown that they are already
making these co-operative efforts
and continue to explore ways for
further co-operation with both the
local Catholic board and the Perth
County Board of Education.
It was shown in a recent press
release that both the Huron and
Perth boards have the lowest
expenditures per elementary and
secondary students. Huron County
ranked the lowest in local taxation
per elementary and secondary
students. "The board's position is
that if amalgamation of school
boards is being clone to save
money, it does not make sense to
join with boards that spend more
and tax more than we do," said
Brown in that release.
It has also been shown by the
Ministry of Education that the
most cost effective boards have a
student population range of bet-
ween 10,000 and 14,000 students,
which is where the Huron hoard
lies, said Carroll.
We don't know how to save any
more and still offer the same
quality of education, said Brown.
The cost of the four -member
task force is $250,000. Their
