three schools In Ookville and one Burlington The question was raised as to how the Board of Education could raise the money to construct the much needed schools said Jerry Jenkins superintendent of business services and this Is one method of doing that There are two sources of revenue for school boards which are provin grants and municipal taxes Mr Jenkins said In this particular situation the government did not allot any funds to Ihe construction of schools in A long term levy Is necessary to fund the building of schools he added The levy is expected to raise million dollars a year for the school board The four schools are estimated to cost million Once the schools are paid for ex cess money will go towards other building construction All municipalities in Halton Region will fed the bite of the tax hike since school board does not have Ihe authority to tax only one or two municipalities The board asked the provincial government for million In capital grants in order to build schools but ended up with empty pockets despite million in allocations granted across the province Although school boards do levy for repayment of debt charges Mr Contracts awarded John McDermld
