Future tainding for special education, the decreas-
ing amount of provincial funding for education, in-
creasingefoKsf Or MC and CPP benefits and sales ta
on school supplies were concerns aired by the Huron
County Board of Education's chairman at the Liberal
task force hearing in Goderich.
Board chairman Dorothy Wallace made the
presentation to the eight -member task force headed
by MPP John Eakens (LeVictoria4faliberton). The
two lOce1114rPs, environment critic Murray Elston
mitionithito and agriculture critic Jack Riddell
(1,-11111:044diddlesex) are also members of the task
"One hates to make negative comments on Bill 82.
(special 'edeication)," said Mrs. Wallace, saying the
concept of providing education for ali children rang-,
lag from those with learning difficulties to the
academically gifted is a beautiful idea.
But the commitment to special education em-
phasized bythe Ministry of Education, or the uncer-
tainty 61 that commitment has the board worried,
said its chairman.
Mrs. Wallace indicated that special education
grants to the cover only 82 percent of the cost of
the programWhile the remaining 18 percent is raised
from local tax dollars. The chairman also noted con-
cerns as the ministry has so far only committed
special education grants until 1985.
"Who pays for it after that?" questioned Mrs.
Wallace.
She expressed fear that programs for the "middle
of the road" students may have to be cut, adding
.these students will one day be "the backbone of the
country". -
MPP Riddell noted he had served on the committee
which reviewed Bill 82. He said that while the educa-
cation
Bon minister assured Of emnialltee there *mid be
adequate slArliiro funds for the program, we .were
all Thatiltal the funding.
"WeW49 have a concern *Abe steady decline in
the cast of. education assumed by the province,"
stated *s. WHIlaCet indicating that in. 1975 the
ministr paid Ujiercent of the budget while this, year -
the minfistrx paid 62 percent of theboard's budget.
"Would you say this has. affebted the quality of
education?" asked WIPP Riddell. •
Mrs..Wallace .said some Programs have been '
eliminated andedded one way to cut ciismis to have
full classroOlDS. She said Latin is no longer taught in
Huron schools and machine shops were cut from Cen-
Heart Attack, Strok
High Blood Pressure
Rheumatic Fever;
JralifUretiRecondarY'Relmel in Clinton. •
On the subject of edueatipnOWts. Wallace pointed
out that the technical equipment put in secondary
schools in the 1960s has reached the point where it is
either worn out or obsolete.
"There is no funding to replace this equipment
which is dreadfully expensive," commented Mrs.
Wallace.
Other -areas where programs are being considered
by the ministry are in the extension of the French
program and computers. The chairman said she
wonders what kind of funding will be available and
for how long.
Mrs. Wallace reiterated problems facing the board
which she has addressed numerous times. The in-
creased cost of Canada Pension Plan and Unemploy-
ment Insurance benefits cost the board about $200,000
and the sales tax on school supplies has meant an ad-
ditional $60,000 to the board.
These costs, along with being caught in a 12 percent
increase in salary contracts with teachers, have left
the board needing more funding from the province
but getting less:"
