WILL HAPPEN TO PUBLIC EDUCATION 4 HOW WILL THIS AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY 5 WHO WILL MAKE THE MANY DECISIONS ARISING FROM THIS ACTION 6 WILL HUMAN RIGHTS BE IGNORED WHAT DO YOUR CANDIDATES FEEL ABOUT SOME OF THESE ISSUES Below you will find some responses taken from a questionnaire answered by your local candidates for provincial office QUESTION DOUGHAMLTON NOP DONKUBnT UBERAL you support a debate In Legislature before the extension of funding It Implemented We believe there should be a full discussion and debate in the legislature and a healthy exchange Ideas and views as soon as possible The people affected have a to be heard by their legislature Most Certainty Yes 2 In ihe Province funded of the coil of Public Secondary Education By 1984 this had eroded to 38 Imposing an increased burden on local taxpayer There are many who believe that the Province should return funding to the level you agree New Democrats have long said that money spent on education is an in vestment In the future lives have been on a campaign of funding the education system and shilling the burden on to local taxpayers New Democrats are committed to increasing funding lor all levels education Emphatically yes believe that there should be a new funding mechanism or education taking into account programme system responsibility geographical location etc To fund on a basis could be artificial and will not necessarily solve the problem believe we must find new ways of retrieving tax dollars for the pur pose of funding education without placing undue burden on the local taxpayer 3 At present there Is no Catholic secondary school in North Halton There are four public secondary schools Studies have been Initiated to look at facilities Would you as a member endorse taking over an existing facility It Is not really possible at this time to say what lacilities should or would change hands Certainly wherever facilities are shifted one Board another this must only be done with the agreement of the entire community Did not respond specifically to this question At present all North secondary schools are at capacity and there Is no room to consolidate and close a secondary school Globally relglous Issues have been divisive Comment on the effects of separating our education system In Ontario Now Democrats propose lhat there should be as much co operation between the boards as Is possible Co operation between equals where neither system Is disadvantaged neither system having a greater claim on resour Did not respond specifically to this question 1 believe that we can modate religious dllferences without being divisive non discriminatory practices prevail where teachers and students can have equal access and equal op should be minimized 5 Would you support the concept of a Unified School Board a rapreten tattve board proposed as a vehicle to prevent costly of services fragmentation of program and lo facttate transfer of per sonnet The most genuine and effective cooperation is cooperation bet ween equals We believe that boards must operate to make the best possible use public money and to not duplicate expert That has to be a major consideration during plemenlation This concept certainly has merit as a discussion point It is only through constructive suggestions such as this the concerns many will be resolved It clearly illustrates that a delay in lrrplenen talion Is necessary so lhat this and other suggestions may be studied Yes ASK YOUR CANDIDATE ABOUT THESE AND OTHER ISSUES THAT CONCERN YOU SPONSORED BY ONTARIO SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS FEDERATION DISTRICT 9
