priesine the new board got its start in december 1968 with the el ection of 20 board members who theoretically had no em ployees at this point since then the mammoth board has organized itself into an hierar chy of staff from the director of education on down to main tenance staff in the schools in forming the administrative setup the board made a special attempt to keep its numbers equal to the total number of staff employed by the former 10 boards the county board stands shoulder to shoulder with so- called blue chip corporations in the county corporations like ford of canada that employs 5500 workers general electric monsanto shell and british pe troleum are the giants of hal- toft county the only difference between the board and these huge corp orate entities is that the board doesnt live off profits from the fruits of its labours it is how ever one of the largest employ- ers in the county in the countys 85 schools ab out 48000 students are proces sed by a professional staff of 2300 growth rates indicate the system will yield an additional 3000 students annually that will require about 60 new elem entary classrooms and 1500 se condary school pupilplaces to run this massive education al apmy a budget of 32 million was just presented to the board an increase of 4 million ov er the combined budgets of last years 10 boards the 32- million is only an estimate of the boards costs for 1969 since department of education grants have still to be released 32 million of the 32 million it is est- imated that almost twothirds will go toward paying academic and professional stajljqyer 1 million of this is allotted to pay administrative personnel alone education director james singleton tops the list of salar ies with an impressive 31500 annually teachers salaries account for the lions share of the budget at 15 million supply teachers and special education at the elementary level will cost al most 1 million operation and maintenance of all the boards buildings will account for about 3 million with transportation bus serv ice for students gobbling up an additional 745500 and to set up the entire pro- grant it cost taxpayers about 22000 for expenses when the board
