This move saves the board $1.8 million in this, year. The board also saved $159,000 in transportation costs by increasing the dis- tances students must walk to school. Students who live in - a community with a separate school will walk three-quar- ters of a 'mile to school instead half a mile. Downie Blanshard and St, Marys Trustee Bernard Murray said he was pleased the board didn't eliminate urban transportation all together. Savings are being realized by sharing bussing with the Perth County Board of Education and the Huron County Board of Education. "We share 75 per cent of our transportation in Huron County and 35 per cent in Perth," said Trustee Marcy. The board also saved $ 100,000 by reducing its computer budget. Now, it will take seven years to com- plete the computer upgrade plan, which was originally intended to take five years. "Taxpayers never react well to a tax increase. What we're facing is basic down- loading. We couldn't ask people for 14.63 per cent if we maintained the status quo," said Trustee Marcy. Dr. Brown said the cuts the board made to reduce the increase are not in the classroom. There will he no teacher Layoffs although about 87 per cent of the board's budget is committed to benefits and salaries. "We must ensure children get the best education we can give them. The tax increase is a sacrifice we should be will- ing to make to ensure the children get an education," saiu 'ainton and area Trustee Louise Martin.

It's all very secret. The lights in the council chamber are on, but the councillors and the taxpayers are left sitting in the dark. At Thursday's meeting of County Council, however, two councillors stood up to say the county should be more open with its decisions and more accountable to the public. Coun. Tom Cunningham, from Hullett Twp. said the fre- quency of closed sessions is hurting the image of the coun- cil and should be addressed. Cunningham said, he real- izes certain things like the competitive sale of property and some personnel matters have to be discussed in closed sessions, but despite the fact legislation is quite specific regarding what things should be discussed in the public eye, he felt the county government needs to take a look at how it informs the public about the decisions it makes. "The public are getting the perception that we are work- ing behind closed doors," said Cunningham. Under the current system , Cunningham said county deci- sions stay hidden for so" long -that by the time decisions are made public, the issues are long forgotten. Warden Bill Clifford told Coun. Cunningham- that his request for a review of the closed session policy would certainly be taken under advisement. - "I know in this particular situation it (the sale of the library headquarters) seems to be dragging on," said Clifford, "but it is an on-goingone and certainly, when it is finalized, it,will be shown by. motion," Coun. Bill Mickle of Exeter, backed Cunningham by ask- ing, "Is there really a necessi- ty for all these 'in camera' meetings," said Mickle. Mickle said he is particular- ly concerned by the fact Clifford, who owns a local real estate company, is taking directive action in the disposal of the library property. "I hope you are not putting yourself into a conflict in this particular situation, knowing your background," said Mickle. Agit III I I 1:111 I 1°"1 A WIDE foot doesn't have to NARROW your choices.
