"When the teachers send in their
budget, how much are they
allowed and how much do they
use?"
D. J. Cochrane, Director of
Education, said that each school's
budget is based on a formula
which guarantees that each
school is treated fairly.
"Are some schools spending
more than others?" ' „Mr.
Henderson asked.

Henderson said 'if the' 'trustees
could have the information on
each school then they could figure
it out for themselves.
Mr. Dunlop said the informat-
ion was on large spread sheets
which would have to re-typed in
order to make copies and it would
require hiring another person to
carry out so much extra work.
Mrs. Marion Zinn of R.R.2,
Lucknow, made a motion that if
any individual board member
wanted to see the files that they
be perinited thus avoiding the
need to have files re-produced.
Herbert Tiirkheim of Zurich
said a motion was not needed
since board files are open to
trustees and it would not be
necessary to reproduce them.
Mr. Henderson asked if
equipment was being kept up in
the schools and if replacements
were being made, such as
typewriters. Mr. Cochrane
replied ,that since the Board was
3 within per cent of the budget
last year "we must have spent all
we could".
