Avon Maitland school board to boost bandwidth with fibre optic lines
From Page 11
couldn't assure trustees that
the provincial grant would
cover everything they hoped to
retain.
"Some of that was internal
priorities," Baird -Jackson
explained to reporters after
trustees approved the budget
on Tuesday, June 26.
For example, she suggested,
a superintendent overseeing
elementary schools might opt
to hold off on acquiring new
resources in order to free up
funds to retain EAs.
Reserve funds were drawn
down by $770,000 to balance
7777,'''"7""7.71
the budget, but the bulk of
that was from a reserve that
was established precisely for
that purpose.
A provincially -negotiated
"framework" agreement with
teachers, signed two years ago
and running through next
year, dictated salary increases
as of Aug. 31, 2007.
"Knowing that was coming,
we put $670,000 in reserve to
cover that increase," Baird -
Jackson explained.
The other $100,000 in
reserve draw -down came from
a fund for computer software
upgrades.

In other computer-related
upgrades, the board plans to
begin installing fibre optic
transmission lines to its
schools, to increase the
amount of bandwidth avail-
able for, online activities by
students, teachers and admin-
istrators.
