County school
Education taxes in Huron County
are up about $20 over last year on an
average assessment of $3,110.
The Huron County board of educa-
tion. at a special meeting on April 22,
approved its 1985 budget of $38.5
million, an increase of about 4.9 per-
cent over last year's budget of $36.6
million.
This means that on a tax bill for an
average assessment of $3,110, the tax-
payer will pay $241.21 for elementary
school education and $196.17 for
secondary education. This is a com-
bined total of $437.38.
The school board will be going to
the municipalities in Huron County
for $12.9 million, a 5.6 percent in-
crease over last year's municipal levy
of $12.2 million.
The 312 hour budget session was
called the best meeting ever by board
chairman Eugene Frayne.

budget 538.5 million
"There was more discussion
tonight... all good discussion," said
Frayne.
Frayne said even though the board
did not approve all the projects
presented. that taxpayers can feel
justified in the budget brought down.
The elementary portion of the
budget totals $21 million. Director of
Education Bob Allan said that for the
first time, costs for the trainable men-
tally retarded and developmentally
handicapped students are included in
this section of the budget. In previous
years, these costs have been includ-
ed in the secondary school portion of
the budget.
The secondary school portion of the
budget is estimated at $17.8 million.
Several special projects are includ-
ed in the budget, with the major one
being to include $105,000 in the
elementary portion of the budget to
purchase and upgrade Vanastra
public school.
It's been a year (since the accom-
modation review committee report
and we haven't done anything. How
long are we going to wait. We're not
going to let it pass," said trustee
Frank Falconer.
The total cost of the Vanastra
public school project, that is to pur-
chase and up date the building now
owned by Conestoga College is
$525,000. It is hoped the ministry of
education will_give a -grant of $420000
for the remainder of the project. Allan
said he would probably know within
a few days or weeks what the
ministry's committment will be.
It was a 7 to 6 recorded vote that
saw the school board approve in-
cluding the $105,000 in its budget. The
money will be part of the $402,803 set
aside in the budget for capital repair
projects.
Other special projects approved at
the special meeting include:
- spending $4,430 for six metal storage
sheds at public schools across the
county;
- A total of $45,000 to purchase musical
instruments at Central Huron Secon-
dary school in Clinton, F.E. Madill
secondary school in Wingham and
South Huron District high school in
Exeter. Each school gets $15,000.
- An energy montioring system for
Seaforth public school which will cost
about $9,270.
- A landscaping concept for each
school to cost a total of about $8000.
Students from co-operative programs
at community colleges could develop
the plans.
The board turned down a proposal
for an additional $36,530 for computer
subjects. The 1985 budget already iq-
cludes $75,000 to buy the educational
computer known as the Icon as well
as other hardware. Also, a proposal
to extend family studies and in-
dustrial arts to all areas of the coun-
ty was turned down.
The only other special project turn-
ed down at the budget meeting was a
proposal to increase school
secretaries to full time. This would
have meant an additional cost of
$36,000 to set this up in nine schools.
The total cost of both business and
Tuckersmith
ups insurance
Tuckersmith Township council has
decided to double its liability in-
surance to $10 million after hearing
of the growing number of large
awards levied by the courts against
municipalities. -
The township's insurer, Wayne
Erdelac of Frank Cowan Insurance,
told council Tuesday night Brampton
was recently ordered to pay more
than $6 million in compensation to a
teenager who received permanent
brain damage as a youngster when
his dirt bike collided with another on
city -owned property. The Ontario
supreme court ruled the city should
have taken precautions, since the
unrestricted vacant land was an ob-
vious attraction to youngsters.
Brampton is appealing.
The premium is now $14,519 up
from $11,318.1ast year.
Council granted $1,000 to the
Tuckersmith Foodland Hydro Com-
mittee which was formed recently to
fight Ontario Hydro, which proposes
to put a power line across prime
farmland in southwestern Ontario, in-
cluding Tuckersmith Township.
Bill Bousscy of Huron Middlesex
Engineering Limited, Clinton, made
a presentation of his engineering ser-
vices to council.
A request for a tile drain loan was
approved for $13,000.
Council will sell fill to the county
from its gravel pit.
Clerk Jack McLachlan reported the
Director of the Vanastra Recreation
is applying for the government's Ex-
perience '85 grant which will pay for
an employee at the recreation centre
this summer.
Council accepted the tender of John.
Henderson for cutting grass in the
township parks during the 1985
season.
general administration is $909.045.
The largest single cost is for
teachers' salaries and school sup-
plies. At theelementary level, it is ex-
pected to cost $12.1 million and $11.2
million at the secondary level.
Transportation is the next largest
cost. This is expected to cost $1.6
million at the secondary level and $1.9
million at the elementary level.
Plant operation and maintenance is
the next largest expense item. At the
elementary level, $1.5 million has
been set in the budget for this, while
$1.6 million has been put in the secon-
dary school budget.
The province of Ontario will pay the
largest share of the budget, $23.9
million, Mr. Allan noted this pro-
vince's share is going down all the
time which means the local taxpayer
has to continually pick up a larger
share.
