BY JEFF SEDDON\ The Huron County Board of Education approved a 128 percent increase in driver education rates for secondary school students at its August session Monday night. The increase brings the cost t'or driver education to $80 a student from $35 a student. The board was forced to hike driver education rates to keep the course. self supporting. The increase will compensate for a ministry of. education decision to reduce support grants for driver education by approximately 40 per- cent. John Cochrane, director of education, told trustees the board had little choice but to in- crease student costs for driver education. He explained the student rates were geared to ministry grants to allow the board to offer the course without paying for it He said the ministry revised its grants ef- fective January 1, 1979 reducing the province's share by about 40 per- cent. Cochrane said the last time the rates for driver education were altered was in March of 1976. Goderich. trustee Dave Gower said he felt the increase was too much for one year. He suggested that the board approve the increase in two stages, part of it for this September and the remainder the following September. Gower pointed out that parents with children enrolled in the driver education course for September are planning on $35 fees and find out three weekvbefore school starts those fees will be $80. He added that the increase may cause a significant decline in the nqmber of enrolling in the course when schocil begins. Bob Allan, a superintendent of education, said the ad d ates rise ministration had taken that into account when it recommended the in crease. He said he realized the increase was a "sudden change" ad- ding administration "have a concern but don't have a solution". Cochrane fold Gower he agreed with- the trustees statements but reminded the board that the ministry of education did not give the board a year's notice about reduced grants. He said all that would happen if the rates were increased over two years is that the board would have a deficit in its budget next year. Allan told' the board that rates for driver education courses in neighboring counties had been checked. He said the cheapest rate offered was $80 with some places as high as $100. He pointed Lost sailboat not discovered A sailboat, reportedly seen to turn on its side and. disappear in Lake Huron near the Bruce Nuclear Power Development (BNPD) has not been found. The. Kincardine News reported that a Coast Guard plane from Trenton was sent to search the arca and a Coast Guard bat, stationed at Goderich, was also dispatched to the area, but neither found any signs of an oyerturned boat as they scoured the lake and shore line. A BNPD employee, working on the 75 foot heavy water tower, claimed he saw the boat go down. While some recent boating accidents in the area have been investigated by the Coast Gliard and OPP, none seem to have occurred on the day the BNPD worker reported. out that the reduced insurance rates •graduates of th,e driver education course receive still makes it a good deal. Board chairman John Elliott told Gower the driver education program was already over crowdedpointing out that if people ' with- drew from the course because of cost it would probably still leave a backlog of students. The board also ap- proved increases for instructors.for the driver education course. The instructors will receive 50 cents., per student more this year than last bringing th&rate to $12.00 a student. The in car rate has also been increased the same amount bringing the hourly rate for car instruction to $8.50 per hour.
