Education levy collection problem
Sometime during 1981 the
Huron County Board of
Education will grapple with
the problem of collection of
education levies.
The board is one of only
three boards in the province
collecting education taxes
just twice a year. Besides the
Huron Board, the Perth
County Board and the Huron -
Perth Separate School
Board, are the only other
boards in the province
collecting education taxes
twice a year.
At budget time last year
the board considered
collecting taxes from the
county's 26 municipalities
four times a year but met
with stiff opposition from
clerks and politicians, who
said it was difficult for rural
Obi aries

municipalities to collect
taxes more than twice a
year.
Blyth trustee, John Elliott,
said it was an issue the board
would have to deal with in
1981 adding that "either
everyone else in the province
is out of step or we are."
The board could save
money in borrowing costs by
collecting four times a year
but the townships argued it
would simply pass on
borrowing costs to them and
subsequently the taxpayers.

To review
system
Education Minister Bette
Stephenson has agreed to
review the system now in
use for determining trustee
representation on boards of
education in the province.
The minister's intentions
were announced after a
resolution from the City of
Stratford asking for a review
of the representation policy
was endorsed by several
municipalities in Ontario.
The City of Stratford cir-
culated a resolution in
November 1980 asking that
Stephenson make changes so
that membership on boards
of education more adequate-
ly reflect student population
and taxes paid. The resolu-
tion gained support from
Goderich town council and
also the Huron County Board
of Education.
Reporesentation on boards
of education is determined
by assessment but commer-
cial and industrial assess-
ment is not used in the for-
mula.
Stratford contends that the
use of total assessment to
determine rural representa-
tion will decrease the
number of members
representing urban areas.
But commercial and in-
dustrial assessments con-
tribute a large portion to the
tax bill.
At the January meeting of
the Huron Board of Educa-
tion. Goderich trustee
Dorothy Wallace expressed
concern claiming that
representation through
assessment would eventual-
ly limit Goderich to one
trustee on the board.
In a letter from the
Ministry of Education,
Stephenson said she was
willing to review the
representation system adding
that the use of the new
equalization factor has caus-
ed some rural areas to gain a
member at the expense of
urban areas.
The minister indicated
that the Stratford resolution
would receive full considera-
tion and was just one item on
a review list.
