Board trustees have reviewed the board's base budget and spending proposals for the 1988 year but no moves can be made until trustees have the knowledge of how much revenue will be obtained from the province. In a closed meeting March 8, trustees told board administrative administrative staff to make recommendations recommendations that would keep this year's budget increase to no more than 5%. One cause for the grant approvals delay is that the province has been re-evaluating its policy involving the amount of property taxes, the individual individual municipalities collect, must go to local school hoards Tn relin- quish an overload of municipal claims of excessive education levies, the province is considering categorizing certain school boards as richer than others. The richer boards will receive less in provincial grants. Taxpayers of the "richer boards" will be forced to pay a larger amount of their school board's budget. The "rich" and "not-so-rich"boards have not yet been categorized. The board will hold a meeting in April with Newcastle and Northumberland Northumberland municipalities to describe the situation and how the board plans to deal with the education education payments municipalities must make to the board. Once the grant approvals are received, the trustees will be asked to bring recommendations on keeping keeping the budget increases under 5%, to the next trustee meeting on April 12.
