TO THE OF County Roman Catholic Separate School Board Wo have examined the Revenue Fund and Capitol Building Fund Balance Sheets of the County Roman Catholic Separate School Board as at December and the State ments of Revenue Fund revenue and expenditure and Source and Application of Capital Funds for the year then ended Our examination included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of accounting records and other supporting evidence as we considered necessary in tho cir cumstances In our opinion these Financial Statements present fairly the financial position of the Board as at December the results of Its operations and the source and applica tion of its capital funds for the year then ended in accor dance with accounting principles generally accepted for On tario School Boards applied on a baslsxcanslstcnt with that of the preceding year HORNS BOOTH LYONS WANDS Auditors Dated at Burlington April ved for local virtues It of fers Among these are tho sense of community gained by attend ing school right near home the BILL strong Involvement of local par ents In helping the school nod the students the possibilities for improving physical facil ities of tho school and the chance for tho children to av oid having to travel by bus TWO CHOICES In response to a survey by the ratepayers group that show ed most of tho parents the area would like to keep their children in local school Law- son decided to prepare his own survey covering every parent who sends a child to the school The survey will not mention improving or expanding the ex isting school a proposal Law- says was turned down twice already by old township school board Ho says ho will offer the par ents two choices keep the school open as it Is after Sept ember or the child rcn go by bus to one of several possible schools in Georgetown MISLEADING Assistant to the edu cation director Em Lavender says the arguments about bus ing are somewhat misleading because over half the students attending already take the bus to get here He says only 37 of the child ren in nil six grades live in Nor val within the twomile walking limit set by the board the ore coming in by bus al ready from outlying areas and it would mean very to them in terms of bus time to continue on to a school in Geor getown Lawson expects the results of his survey to be available for fellow trustees soon THE GEORGETOWN HERALD THURSDAY MAY HINTS OF OPPOSITION It Is small surprise to find the ratepayers committee not happy with rep resentation of on the board Several members offer ed hints of opposition in the next board elections in Decern 72 We categorically not prepared to accept a continual Ian of the present situation Reed He says the survey is like asking What do you want potatoes or beans when In actual fact wo asked for corn POOR COUSIN Reed says the hamlet is tired of being a poor cousin in Halton because it is located on the border with Peel County He adds that schools everywhere else in the county have improv ed and expanded but not in not asking anything more he stresses Hughes says that administra tors admitted at the original ratepayers meeting in February that the closing was not basically a question of fin- arid that in fact no signi ficant saving for the board was involved THREE ANSWERS warns that the stud if they were taken out by bus might bo used by tho ad ministration to fill schools with empty classrooms He soya they have had at least three different answers as to where the students would go and suggested the youngsters best interests educationally would come second to adminis trative convenience in deciding where to put them NOT DEMANDS Reed and Hughes em that their proposals to the board in the brief in no way to bo considered demands they ore suggestions of one way tho ratepayers objective could bo reached and they leave tho board plenty of room for and compromise Any corners the board seems be in now are of their own making says Reed SINCERELY INTERESTED essence of the tight over school is really a defin ition of the quality of an edu cation explained Reed He says the board is obvious ly sincerely Interested in im proving quality of educa tion as it sees it But it is equally obvious that the ratepayers group has a dif ferent point of view on what constitutes quality and there seems no way that both can win out PROBLEM ACUTE Tough
