The fees for driver education
will be raised from $Z5 to $35 per
pupil. John Elliott indicated this
should result in an additional
$4,000 in revenue and bring the
program close to fee for service
area.
New fee schedules for night
school courses were approved
which will generate another
$7,000 according to director
Cochrane and make these
programs more than self
sustaining.
Eight surplus school buses now
used for field trips and tran-
sportation will be sold by sealed
public tender. This will leave five
extra buses owned by the board.
A freeze to the extent of $5.50
per secondary school student and
$4.50 per elementary school pupil
will be placed on the purchase of
custodial supplies. Roy Dunlop
said in previous years the
custodial supply budget was
related to the size of the school
and what was spent the year
before.
The second 10 percent of the
cuts in budget formula items will
be worked out between the
budget committee and the ad-
ministration.
Elliott continued, "We
originally met with the two
principal groups and they
generally accepted the first 10
percent cut and we asked them to
consider a second reduction of
the same amount. I'm very
disappointed that no action was
taken to decrease their ex-
penditures by another le per-
cent."
Both prinCipal associations
were represented at Monday's
meeting and presented briefs
outlining their concerns.
One of the additional cutbacks
in budgets concerned secretarial
assistance in schools. The
number of hours of secretarial
assistance in elementary schools
will be reduced from 757,5 hours
per week to 581.5 hours per week.
Dunlop said this would work
out to an average of about seven
hours per week reduction in each
school in the county.
At the same time the number of
secretaries at the board office in
Clinton was reduced by two.
Director of Education John
Cochrane said this would effect a
reduction in salaries of about
$11,000 per year. One position will
become vacant in two weeks and
a replacement will not be made
and the second position will

South Huron High School
principal J, L. Wooden presented
a brief to the Huron County Board
of Education Monday night.
Parts of the brief follow:
"The principals are concerned
about the effect of the operating
budget reductions. We have
never enjoyed the luxury of af-
fluence in our supply budget or in
the general in-school budget,
consequently, the effect of
reducing the budget by 10 percent
and eliminating new capital as
well as requiring the inclusion of
replacement capital within the
overall budget will have a
negative effect on programmes.
We accept the first 10 percent
reduction but must point out that
continued severe austerity in the
areas of supplies, capital
,replacement and capital addition
will result in our schools inability
to carry on programmes in-
volving equipment which has a
relatively short life span unless a
regular replacement programme
is maintained.
The principals are concerned
that the new budgetary
restrictions have been imposed in
the middle of the current school
year when it is virtually im-
possible to make changes in
programme,
Schools are now taking
delivery of goods ordered
through central purchasing last
fall, These goods were ordered
before the proposed reductions
were enunciated. Shop and
athletic programmes and indeed
the entire curriculum was
planned before the reductions
were proposed.
We believe that the new
Ministry policies with respect to
financing have caught schools in
the middle of a school year with
the result that some of the
programmes could be disrupted.
We suggest that with the 10
percent reduction and the other
restrictions already proposed we
are facing an approximate
reduction of 28 percent. If in-
flationary trends continue the
actual effective reduction would
be more like 33 or 34 percent,
The sum of money being
discussed is so small whert
compared to the total county
budget that the reductions ef-
fected amount to tokenism. But
the amounts become large when
the reduction is applied at the
instructional and departmental
level where the loss of $1,000 or
even a few hundred dollars will
make the difference between a
viable programme and an un-
successful programme.
Money spent on supplies, field
trips, athletics, etc. is spent for
the benefit of students in the
schools. Most of them derive
benefit from attending secondary
school. More students are in
programmes suitable to their
abilities and needs than before.
In conclusion there is a very
direct effect on the programmes
given to students in the school
and the supply budget, This
budget figure is already below
what it should be for optimum
programme development so that
further budget reductions are not
really sustainable."

Despite a reduction of about
$400,000 in the proposed budget
for 1976 for the Huron County
Board of Education, county
ratepayers could still face a tax
increase as high as 35 percent.
During a special meeting
Monday night, the Board
authorized a 20 percent cut in
budget formula items along with
most part of an additional 13
point program to further lower
expenditures for this year,
In opening the lengthy
discussion board chairman Herb
Turkheim said, "If we went
without any restraints in spen-
ding we could end up with a 50
percent increase in school levies.
We have to face reality. A lot of
people in the county just couldn't
afford it."
Superintendent of Business
Affairs Roy Dunlop said the in-
crease in levies could be 35.8
percent but he added, "the big
question mark is our operation
for 1975. The audit is now un-
derway and this could make a big
difference,"
, In talking about the proposed
cuts, Goderich trustee Cayley
Hill said, "I would like to point
out that we don't have really
much to play with as 75 percent of
our total budget is fixed costs."
This was verified later by
Dunlop who said fixed costs in
1975 for the secondary panel were
78.9 percent and for the
elementary sector at 78.6 per-
cent.
Fixed costs which are not af-
fected by any budget cuts include
salaries, transportation, plant
maintenance, etc.
The provincial grant rates for
Huron County are also reduced
this year. Dunlop said the
secondary grant ceiling was
reduced by 4,5 percent and the
elementary by 1.6 percent.
In supporting the budget cuts
Cayley Hill commented, "If this
county and province think the
economic situation is bad now,
it's only a picnic as to what can
happen if this trend continues.
We don't seem to realize how
serious it is."
Trustee Marian Zinn added, "If
we as board members don't make
the cuts, somebody will do it for
us."
Budget chairman John Elliott
of Blyth said the cuts of 20 per-
cent in formula items caused the
most discussion with
representatives from the
secondary and elementary school
principals.
A brief presented to the Huron
County Board of Education
Monday night by the Huron
Principals' and Vice-Principals
Association indicated they were
quite concerned about the
proposed additional cutbacks in
the 1976 budget. These cutbacks
were approved by the board later
in the meeting.
The brief was as follows: "We
realize the necessity for
restraints but find these ad-
ditional measures will have a
great detrimental affect on
present programs in general and
on our students in particular
while realizing a minimal saving.
If the financial situation
warrants it, we will do our best to
support the following recom-
mendations: initial 10 percent
cutback in formula items; no new
capital additional items for 1976;
inclusion of capital replacement
items as a part of the formula for

1977; energy saving measures;
study of rate schedule for extra
curricular use of schools.
Mr. Cochrane has challenged
us to maintain our standards
while within a program of
restraints but we believe this
challenge becomes unrealistic if
the additonal recommendations
are implemented.
To reduce the present number
of secretarial hours will mean
that some work will simply not be
done while some will be post-
poned. Naturally a decrease in
service will result.
Public relations would be
severely limited. Telephone
messages relayed or promptly
dealt with through the secretary
will be curtailed and community
contact will be reduced,
Much capital has already been
spent through the tendering of
supplies, leaving a limited
budgeted amount for further
spending. Textbook purchase will
be reduced greatly at a time
when changes in program
require a definite expansion of
the present supply. The metric
system itself may have to remain
at an introductory phase at this
time.
Remedial programs and'
standardized testing will have to
be reduced greatly or possibly
curtailed. Elective programs,
science fairs and other special
activities will have to be reduced
and possibly eliminated is some
schools.
Several schools indicated
specific concern over limited
possibility for expansion
especially since several libraries
have just been initiated and in-
ventory is limited.
Outdoor education and field
trips have been reduced by 50
percent in 12 schools with five
schools totally eliminating
budget support.
Many graduation exercises will
be cancelled or become parent
supported in order to be main-
tained and public relation ac-
tivities such as open houses may
have to be limited.
Great reduction is inevitable in
organized sports programs,
especially as result of cutback of
bus availability,
The elementary principals'
brief was presented by Don Fink-
beiner of Stephen Central and
Bruce Robertson, Howick Cen-
tral,
Robertson said with a 20 per-
cent cutback his school budget
would be reduced to $17,945.68.
He added, "Over half of that
amount has already been spent
on goods ordered last Sep-
tember."
