At Huron - - BYSTRIMANIELEvaQUA 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:" r • view are M. Mitchell, C. Wilson. H. Philips, B. Nurse, E. Robertson, R. Tamen and William Tamen.
