JK and busing draw concerns at northern public school trustee candidates meeting The mother of a special educaâ€" tion needs child, Ward 5 incumbent Debbie Marklew said she was well aware of what the board doesn‘t offer and the cutbacks to services. "The cuts are far enough. We have to look at the impact of the cuts. I‘m in favor of the status quo until something else is in place," said Marklew. Oakville Beaver Staff here were fewer than 30 peoâ€" I ple in the library of Sunningdale Public School Tuesday night, but they kept the pace moving and the tone lively as they quizzed Ward 5 and 6 public school trustee candidates on issues ranging from special education cutâ€" backs, busing to junior kindergarten. Parents expressed concerns over the disappearance of funds for speech and language services while caseloads rise.

"I did support the phasedâ€"in JK because the province backed us up against the wall. The phasedâ€"in program is the most economical and the most reaâ€" sonable." Marklew said she supported the phasedâ€"in version of the program because, "We (the board) said ‘No‘ as far as we could." Ward 6 incumbent Linda Lane concurred saying the phasedâ€"in approach would allow the board to address the "serious space shortage" in launching the program. Not implementing JK would have cost the board $42 million in grants, explained Marklew. "It‘s a controlled phaseâ€"in to allow us to address all the problems associated with accommodating it," said Lane. Ward 5 challenger Janice Caster opposed the implementation of JK "and a large reason was because of the space." Ward 6 challenger Richard Donafeld felt the board had phased it in on a "reasonable level." With regard to busing, both incumbents stressed their attempts to implement the lower busing disâ€" tances three years ago, but failed Mayor Ann Mulvale 338â€"8556 on Monday, Nov. 14 you have a choice AUTHORIZED BY THE C.F.0.

Caster felt the board should utilize current facilities in a more cost effiâ€" cient way. Donafeld, who admitted he didn‘t know all the issues, came under fire because of his profession â€" teachâ€" ing â€" and his short period of resiâ€" dency in Oakville â€" five months. "You‘re still faced with declining resources," said Donafeld who promised his platform would focus on financial accountability. "The distances are outrageous. To have it sitting on the back burner is totally unacceptable," said Marklew. Caster suggested it may be time the board consider a user pay transâ€" portation policy. "If we went to user pay...we‘d lose our transportation grants if it wasn‘t done right," responded Marklew. "I have the facts and figures showing that Ward 5 needs two schools," stressed Marklew. "By 1996, all schools will be 110% full." because of budset limitations. "I would be a conscience to the board," he said. "The teacher‘s federations are very well represented on the board..what we don‘t have is parâ€" ents," commented one parent. "One more teacher at the board table isn‘t what we need." "They are on the edge of technolâ€" ogy. We cannot afford to be on the edge because it costs too much," said Caster who approved of corpoâ€" rate sponsorships as long "as they‘re only sponsoring and not directing the education."â€" A teacher for 18 years, Donafeld said he was new to Oakville, but not to educational issues. As for schools entering joint venâ€" tures with business, Caster and Lane were in favor of such partnerships. Lane said the board is developing a policy on this subject for future debate. Marklew said the issue came about after some parents objected to the constant testing, observation and visiting of the computerized River Oaks Public School. "Some parents are not happy with all the visits and interruptions," said Marklew, adding, "the program is great and we thank Apple."
