Pressure on for more funding
GUARANTEED
INVESTMEN
CERnHCAEES
With the issuing of a second
report on school fundraising in
Ontario, the Ontario Public School
Trustees’ Federation (OPSTF) is
continuing to pressure the govern
ment to provide adequate funding
for elementary schools.
The federation says the gap
between the levels of provincial
funding provided for elementary
and secondary schools is growing.
In 1970, thedifferencewas$500
per pupil, while it is now $911.
To help fill the gap, the OPSTF
says that in 1986, Ontario elemen
tary schools raised a gross amount
of more than $12 million through
fund-raising activities, with a net
profit of less than half that amount
realized by the schools. Most of the
balance goes to the businesses
which provide the items used in
fund-raising.
The report indicates that a large
percentage of this money goes to
compensatefortheshortfalls in
provincial funding by providing
such items as field trips, computer
and sports equipment, and library
books for the students.
As well, the report raises
concerns about the time spent by
teachers and students on fundrai
sing acitivites, the double taxation
of ratepayers asked to support
school fundraising, and the safety
of young students in door-to-door
sales.
The OPSTF maintains that the
best solution to these concerns is to
puressure the provincial govern
ment to adequately fund elemen
tary education, to remove the need
for “big business” fundraising in
schools.
