Separate school budget up 14.5 per cent BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE DUBLIN - Huron -Perth Separate School Board ap- proved its 1 iv budget of $6,783,402, a 14.56 per cent in: crease over 1 1, and a 10 per cent mill rate increase. At a special meeting April 19, the board approved the $862,623 budget increase over 1 '1. The amount to be raised locally is $1,312,857 or 19.33 per cent of the budget, up from 17.85 per cent of the 1981 bud8et. Superintendent of finance Jack Lane said the tax- payer with an average assessment of $3,500 will have a tax bill of $190.75 for elementary school purposes. This is up $17.25 from 1981. The 1982 budget is over the provincial ceiling by $59,000. Mr. Lane said the provincial ceiling has not kept up to the board's costs. The increased costs are particular to this board because of the vast area it covers and its smaller schools which are more expen- sive to operate. Mr. Lane explained the 1982 provincial. Ceiling- for the board is $2,107 per elementary school pupil, while the actual expenditure budgeted by the board is $2,131 per elementary school pupil. There are 2,589 pupils m the Huron -Perth separate school system in 1981-82 and a drop to 2,533 is anticipated for 1 ' i 2-83. Mr. Lane added historically actual enrolment has in- creased over the projected amount. The 1982 budget represents a 10 per cent mill rate increase over 1981. This raises the average mill rate 4.95 mills to 54.50 mills. "A 10 per cent increase is less than inflation," said Stratford Trustee Ron Marcy. Dublin area trustee Ron Murray was not happy with the increase and while voting in favor of the budget, was .the -only trustee who voted against ,the mill rate increase. He asked how much the increase would be if the budget was not over ceiling. "About five per cent?" he asked. Mr. Lane nodded in agreement, and later said the provincial ceiling is not enough for the board to keep, up with its expenses. 'This budget has. been fine tuned to the 'nth' degree," said, Mr. Lane calling it a "conservative" budget. Chairman JQha O'Leary said the board has to come to grips with the over -ceiling. "I aril confident the board and administration will reduce the over -ceiling before the year is out," said chairman O'Leary. While not giving any specifics, Mr. O'Leary ex- pressed confidence costs„would be brought down at least even with the provincial ceiling. "There may be cuts in certain areas, we have to take a look" the chairman said. He commented a 10 per cent increase is a "common denominator" . of boards across the province and a sign of economic times. "We the ch: it will Whe, ve to keep our head above the water," said nonadding, "we can run with a deficit, but entuaily catch up with the taxpayers." asked if he is pleased with the budget, he replied, "Certainly, and I hope the taxpayers are pleased too." The instructional section of the budget, which in- cludes supplies and teachers' salaries, is $4,660, for 1982, or las per...centof the total .budget. This is an increase of $741,300 over 1981. Transportation services, almost 10 per cent of the budget are $764,200 in 1982, up by almost $85,000 from 1981. Two-thirds of the system's pupils are transported by bus to the board's 19 schools. Plant operations and maintenance is budgeted at $707,860 including utility costs of approximately $153,000. The total represents an increase of $73,000 over 1 1. There are no capital projects for 1982, but approval is being sought to convert St. James Catholic School in Seaforth from oil to gas heat. Mr. Lane said it is the only school left to convert. Not all schools in the system can be converted because of the unavailability of gas. The cost of providing special education in the Huron -Perth system in 1982 is $533,000. This includes instructional and administration costs. Provincial grants amounting to $453,000 or 85 per cent will be for- thcoming. , Chairman O'Leary commented, "People read about Bill 82, but they're not aware of the dollars be- ing asked." He added boards across the province are going to be more aware of costs as their budgets come in. , The number of catholic supporters in the area is in- creasing, actually by 68 per cent since 1970, said Mr. Lane. In 1981, the Huron -Perth board had an assess- ment increase of almost $1 million and a similar in- crease in 1980. Huron board approves X32 million budget • from page 1 found the individual salary increases "stiff". / Director of education John Cochrane, expl-ad the cost of curriculum co-ordinators increased from $14,282 to $78,165 because presently there iso yd one co-ordinator, who was employed in September of last year and this number will be increased by two. When asked by Mr. Currie what a curriculum co- _ ordinator_is;_ Mr.. Cochrane_saidthey .assist .teachers in preparing course outlines and curriculum. He added they used to be supplied by the Ministry of Education, but now every school board has to have its own. A student services cost increase from $373,238 to $484,190 in 1982, was also questioned by Mr. Currie. Mrs. Wallace explained the increase represented staff increases as part of the implementation of special education. Under business .administration, up from a 1981 figure of .$206,829 to $261,810 in 1982, personnel relations administrator Peter Gryseels said there was an average eight percent salary increase, and he added that in 1981, one employee was on sickleave, being paid through an insurance plan and not by the board. Mayor William Harris of Wingham asked about the deferring of the special education reserve fund. If it isn't put in place this year, would special education costs be more by 1985 - the date by which special education is to be implemented? Mr. Cochrane ex- plained the Special Education Advisory: Committer suggested the board "set aside a pot of money". He said special education funding from the Ministry will be put into general revenue. "Will we be hit between the eyes in 1985?" asked the mayor. Mr. Cochrane explained the board had already had a special education program in place and most of the additional hiring required is being done in 1982. The mayor also questioned the board's need to collect taxes from municipalities four times a year. "It was strictly economics," said Mr. Cochrane. The Wingham mayor replied it is costing his municipality $13,000 in bank interest to pay taxes four times a year, because Wingham does not collect taxes four times a year. "It's saving us a great deal," said chairman Wallace. "As a point of interest - will you be increasing staff (for special education) or will you be retrieving existing staff? Will it be necessary to hire specialized staff?" asked Mr. Currie. "Wherever essible . we_ will .use existing__ staff,_" replied Mr. Cochrane. Of the total elementary budget, the province will pay 67.8 percent and local taxpayers 32.2 percent. In 1975, the province's share was 75.7 percent and "the taxpayers was 24 percent. The total secondary budget has the province paying 65.4 percent and the local. taxpayers 34.6 percent. In 1975, the province paid 69.9 percent and the local taxpayers 21.7 percent. In each case, the 1975 per- centage given above does not include the percentage paid through tuitions and miscellaneous grants. The requisition for each municipality was not available at the meeting, but is expected to be ready by the end of the week. You and your health (unit) Your baby is unique BY CATHY THOMSON, NUTRITIONIST, HURON COUNTY HEALTHUNIT Attitudes about . feeding babies have changed dramatically over the last 10 years. And it's not easy knowing how .to feed your baby, especially if it's your first. Most parents find that everyone from Harold next door to great Aunt . Maude think they know more about feeding your baby than you do! Whatever happens, remember that your baby is a unique individual. Use your own common sense and take 'the advice of qualified health professionals when you have questions. The basic in a baby's diet is milk, and his own mother's milk is best. Breast milk is especially designed for babies so that they 'get the. best nutrition, immunity to diseases, and the closeness and cuddling babies were made for. If for some . reason breastfeeding As not chosen, specially prepared commercial for- mulas for infants are next best. Milk supplies everything a baby needs until four or six months. .At this time solid foods should be introduced. Don't rush this step - aS long as a baby is satisfied on milk alone, he doesn't need the solids. Milk suits his im- mature digestive system. When milk no longer seems to satisfy (at least by six months), solids are ap- propriate. . Usually jingle grain cereals ,(e.g. rice, barley) pre introduced first, with vegetables and fruit next and finally meat. A breastfed baby needs a supplement of vitamin D since breastmilk is low in this vitamin. Formula fed babies do not need any sup- plements. Once a baby is consuming six to eight ounces of solid food daily, pasteurized whole milk can be introduc- ed. Two percent and skim milk should not be used dur- ing the first year of life because they are not proper- ly balanced in carbohydrate, protein and -fat for a baby. Many parents like to prepare their own baby foods. This iso a good idea as long as, good cooking, handl- ing and stdrage practices are followed so that L K .RANDS. •NECKLACES sePACELETS ®READ, Aira gem 3 Sl ST. DAVID, GODERICH 521-11®72 • nutrients are retained and the food is safe to eat. Commercially prepared baby foods are an acceptable alternative as long as you know what you are buying. Read labels and avoid un- necessary products.. ..Plain_. mets, vegetables and fruits are the best buy. Many parents worry about • having a fat baby. The most recent research has found that fat • babies do not necessarily " remain so. I owever; avoiding obesity at any age is a good practice. Parents should stop a feeding at the earliest sign of disinterest by. the baby - babies know HOW MUCH they need. Parents are there to take care of WHAT they are fed. Try to encourage .. physical. activity. Even in in- fancy, lack of -activity seems to be the major cause of obesity. Active playing is stimulating and enjoyable.' And remember, babies are awake at other times than feeding times. Take 'care to distinguish between ' hunger and other activities and needs. APPLIANCE. REPAIR Large or small, we'll fix ahem all...
