The Avon. Maitland
District School Board June
22 approved a "very tight"
/999/2000 - budget of
S127.501.762 with revenues
:of $126.741.862 from the
_Ministry of Education and
Training and; miscellaneous
revenue of 5759.900.
"ft is tight," said finance
• superintendent Janet Baird -
Jackson. "We builtit from
the ground up checking and
rechecking. We still. have to
he careful. We continue to
ha.e to he frugal:"
And. immediately after
passing the budget. trustees
passed a motion to ask the
Ontario Public Schools
Boards • Association
(OPSBA) to lobby the
provincial government on
behalf of the Avon Maitland
hoard for inclusion in the
rural and remote school
boards grant.
The Avon Maitland board
was eligible for a $700.000
rural and remote grant,
designed to give extra
revenue to boards who must
pay extra transportation costs
to receive supplies. when it
applied last year using
Toronto as the closest urban
centre in its calculations but
were denied the funds when
the ministry used London in
its calculations.
During the recent review of
the Avon Maitland board by
the Education. Improvement
Commission (EIC). its co-
chair Dave Cooke told
trustees he believed boards
that ate spread out
geographically, such as the
Avon Maitland. should
receive special consideration
said education director Lorne
Rachlis.
"Unfortunately, he's not
the one to decide." he added.
Trustee Atje Tuyten asked
how the board would
continue to improve
programs with such a tight
budget.
"How can you be a
progressive educator if the
funds are regressive?" she
asked.
And,ttrustee Maggie
Laprade told the board that at
'"several schools in her area,
school councils are upset that
principals are asking them to
fundraise for textbooks.
Rachlis .said that in some
schools students arc sharing
texts and parents are
fundraising to allow each
student totrave-his'-o'r her
own copy to take home.
"It's not widespread: but it
is happening," he said.
Baird -Jackson' added that-
many teachers are paying for
classroom supplies out of
their own pockets.
Trustee Abby Armstrong
noted that the budget does
not include any money set
aside for reserves,' adding.
"Any one of 100,000 things
could happen that we might
need reserves for."
Baird -Jackson answered
that there were no. surpluses
anywhere to create a reserve
fund this year but that one
should be set up in the future
to _ pay for , retirement
gratuities.
Renovations planned in the
1999-2000 budget include
the Tech renewal project at
Northwestern Secondary..,...
School, fire safety
renovations at F.E. Madill,
phase two of a library
resource centre at Elma
Public School . and the
addition of a junior
.kindergarten room. at Howick
