until July 8 1991 when a trial date will be set Love of and Art Fairrie of Burlington began auditing the Board s budget this week Educators seem to believe that high cost equals high quail said president Frank Gue We want to see people get value for their money People might think this is a hatchet job but we the are every bit as Interested in quality as in cost The audit committee plans to audit one section of the budget as a time and issue progressive reports at meetings on each section It hopes to have the audit completed by fall in time to make the results of the audit visi so HTC members and the public can question municipal election candidates about the audit results Once the audit is completed and the progressive reports com piled in a final report the HTC will present it to the Halton Board of Education and make recom mendations on their findings The Board has been very co operative with us said Mr Gue even though the board refused to provide the group with a room and part time secretary for the audit I think they realize that having on outside view is always good Our research should also be beneficial to both the taxpayer and school children School board spending
