profound concern for people

Huron ratepayers hit with
19 per cent education hike
By Dave Sykes
Huron County taxpayers
face an additional $38.71 on
their tax bills this year as a
result of rising education
costs.
That increase, based on an •
average residential assess-
ment of $3,100, follows the
county board of education's
approval of its 1981 budget
last week.
The new budget calls for
total expenditures of $28.6
million, an increase of 13.2
per cent over last year.
However taxpayers in
Huron will have to contribute
$9,484,702 of the education
budget, an increase of 19.1
per cent over the amount
raised through local taxes in
1980.
That means the local mill
rate for education will jump
13.49 mills in 1981, to 105.93.
On an average residential
assessment in the eounty,
the education portion of the
tax bill will rise to $328 from
$289.
The biggest chunk of the
budget, 71 per cent, is
labelled for salaries and
benefits. The salaries and
benefits for teachers and
administration amounts to
more than $20 million.
Other big items on the
expenditure side include $2.4
million for plant operation
and maintenance and $2.3
million for transportation.
Debt charges on deben-
tures and interest on
operating loans will amount
to nearly $1 million this year.
Several municipal clerks
attended the budget meeting
and John Cochrane, director
of education, outlined the
budgeting procedure for
1981. He indicated that much
of the increase in education
taxes is due to a reduction in
the percentage of provincial
grants.
In 1975 provincial grants
accounted for 76 per cent of
the elementary school
budget; that has declined
steadily to ea per cent last
year.
In the secondary panel the
story is much the same.
Provincial grants covered 76
per cent of the costs in 1975,
falling .065 per cent in 1980.
Mr. Cochrane also ex-
plained that declining enrol
-
merit has limited provincial
grants.
"Money from the province
is based on the number of
students, and, with declining
enrolment the grants have
fallen off," he said. "The
provincial spending ceilings
have fallen behind price
increases."
Board committees did
make cuts in original budget
estimates. One of the major
deletions was $75,000
removed from a proposed
teacher sick leave gratuity
fund. Mr. Cochrane said the
accumulated sick day
gratuity pay for teachers
with more than 12 years
experience would amount to
$3.3 million.
Despite a warning from
aUditors to establish a
reserve fund for this
liability, the board decided
to wait and deleted the
$75,000 from the budget this
year.
A separate motion was
passed to place a freeze on
hiring in athe elementary
panel until the pil-teacher •
ratio.teriti`CT hmtatims
set out in' thie-: collective,
agreement.
The board also delayed the
phased implementation of
special education instruction
as outlined in Bill 82. A
special education program is
in place in the county and the
board has until 1985 to bring
it up to Bill 82 specifications.
In reviewing the overall
budget, the cost of in-
struction per pupil has risen
by 17 per cent over last year.
Enrolment is declining at a
rate of two per cent per year
and teachers' salaries are up
by an average of 15 per cent.
Bert Morin, board vice
chairman, said the cost of
education will continue to
rise until something is done
to broaden the industrial tax
base in Huron County.
"People have to stop
paying hp service to getting
industry in this county," he
said. "We need more in-
dustry and more people to
carry the tax load."
The board touched briefly
on a different method of
collecting taxes, but Mr.
Cochrane said a decision on
whether thenboard will col-
nient educatiene taxes mere..
twice yeatly aril] ' be '-
Made - in the' falL • More
frequent collection from the
municipalities would save
the board about $250,000
annually in, interest and
carrying charges.
