In a 12 -page brief presented by representatives of the county board, Klopp was urged to push the Onta- rio govenunent towards co- operating with the local board in the process of financing and re- forming educational programs. "I can feel your anxiety," Klopp said. "The message is clear that changes are needed."

Prior to the presentation, the ex- ecutive committee also reported that the increase in the mill rate was set at an unrealistic level for 1993 since school boards are expe- riencing little or no assessment growth. But the mill rate increase may mean Huron education taxes could increase by more than five percent even if the board maintains a zero percent expenditure rate. $In defence of the Ontario govern- ment, Klopp reminded the Board that the system of assessment was in use long before his party was in power, but he agreed the system is flawed and needed to be redefined. The special presentation also -touched on the need to redefine the mandate of school boards since 'there has been an expansion of its responsibilities and this is a further burden on its diminishing finances.
