"A Family Tradition for 128 Years" Working with 3.5% hike Durham trustees set to resume budget talks By Jeff Mitchell Port Perry Star Durham Region's public school trustees are back at the table this week, as they begin Round Two of budget Trustees began with num- bers that indicated a tax hike of around 6 per cent over last year's levy, and have so far whittled that down to around 3.5 per cent. And while keeping the increase to a minimum is on the minds of all trustees, it looks as though some pro- grams that have languished on the back burner for the past couple of years will receive more funding this time around, according to Scugog trustee Bobbie Drew, chair of the finance committee. Savings brought about by the board's move to a single administration building in Whitby, as well as implemen- tation of cost-cutting mea- sures in a transportation audit, mean funds will be freed up to put toward building maintenance and individual school funding, said Mrs. Drew. "Things aren't looking too bad," Mrs. Drew said last week. "We should be able to make sifhe real headway on Thursday." She said savings brought 'about by the move to the new Education Centre and cuts to busing in the region could mean increased funding for two programs that have been cut back in past years: ; a Block budgets for schools, which allow for spending on texts, sup- plies and $9 computer ' equipment in ul individual DREW schools. The budgets could be in for an "overall boost", said Mrs. Drew. Q Maintenance to the board's buildings. A number of items have been put off in an effort to prevent tax hikes and won't wait much longer, the trustee said. "It's like if you have an old car: If you don't look after it, it's gone." The board begins working Thursday night (March 23) on the second draft of its bud- get for 1995. The final docu- ment is expected out later this spring. FEE -- SR Robert J.
