The Huron County Board of Education, at a special meeting recently, 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 Oak bill for an average assess- - ment of $3,110, the taxpayer will pay $241.21 for elemen- tary school .education and $196.17 for secondary educa- tion, a combined total of $437.38. The school, board will be asking municipalities in Huron County for $12.9 mil- lion, a 5.6 per cent increase over last year's municipal levy of $12.2 million. , •.. The budget session which lasted over ;three hours ,was called the best meeting ever by the board chairman, Eugene Frayne. "There- was more dis- cussion tonight . . all good discussion," he said. Mr. Frayne said even though the board did not. approve all the projects,pre- sented, taxpayers can feel the budget is justified. The elementary portion of. the budget totals X21 million. Director of Educatitin Bob Allan said that for the first. time, costs for the trainable mentally retarded and de- velopmentally handicapped students are included in this section of the budget. Inprevious years, these costs have been included in the secondary school portion " of the budget. ' The secondary school por- tion of the budget is estimated at $17.8 million. Several special projects are included in the budget, with the major one being the inclusion of $105,000 in the elementary portion of the ]�ser great wor. Being a foster parent is a tough job. It's full-time. Twenty-four hours a day. Often frustrating, and always demanding of your patience, energy and love. Yet despite its demands, or maybe because of them, thousands of people take foster children into their homes each year, Some are children, some are teenagers. Some have special physical or • emotional needs. But all have dne thing in common. They need a sense of place and security to help them through a difficult period in their lives, and to prepare them for reuniting with their families. There's a very basic joy in sharing with a child or young person some of the_ richness that life has given you. As part of a team of social workers and other professionals, you'll be helping foster children and. their parents when they need help most And helping yourself at the same time, to mature and grow as an individual. • If you'd like to learn more about becoming a. foster parent; contact your local Children's Aid Society or Family and Children's Services. It's not an easy task. Few jobs demand more of a person. But fewer still give more in return.
