« 4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 9, 1963 Section Two Separate School Supporters And Their Board By John O'Toole I am frequently asked by separate school supporters, to explain the issue of school support. All schools in Ontario, with the exception of private institutions, institutions, are supported through Provincial Government grants and Municipal Property Property Tax. The Ministry of Education Education budget is over eight billion dollars. 1. The property assessment of both Separate and Public School Supporters is pooled for Secondary Schools (High Schools). It is important for Catholics to know that everyone everyone supports the Secondary Schools on an equal basis. The fact that a Catholic parent has children attending a Collegiate Collegiate or Public Secondary School, is not a valid reason for that parent to support the Public Schools at the elementary elementary level. 2. Three Important Points: a. School support is not determined by religion. You must direct your Separate School support; b. A Catholic may support either school system. In fact, unless he specifically directs his-her assessment assessment to the Separate School system, it automatically automatically reverts to the public system. - Contact the Board Office, Collect, at 1-705- 748-4861. - Contact the Assessment Assessment Office in Whitby at 668-7711.; c. A Non-Catholic cannot support the Separate School. However, in the case of a mixed marriage, you must contact the Board Office. Only the Board can set-up to direct your support. Finally, everyone supports our school systems by their various Provincial Provincial and Municipal taxes. Our P.V.N.N.R.C.S.S.B. receives receives 85 percent of its 15.5 million dollar revenue from the Provincial Ministry of Education. Fifteen percent, (2.3 million dollars) is raised by Municipal taxes. Any spending by our Board over tne Ministry grant level is one hundred percent funded by taxes. You can recognize that we have little power to raise funds with such a small tax support Separate population. Note: The Ministry recognized recognized ordinary expenditure per pupil is $1,972.00 (for 1982). Every $100,000.00 reduction in expenditures saves our tax supporters a total of $17,200.00, and would reduce your equalized mill rate from 12.1 to 11.2. Contact the Board Office or myself if you are' concerned about your support.

As a result, the board is considering a conditional conditional grant to interested schools of $500.00 per school. The Board also informed the group of its desire to support all schools equally, and also that Mr. D. Folz, one of the Superintendents, is piloting a $10,000.00 project at St. Peter Elementary School in Peterborough. Peterborough. This project is to determine which computer (Commadore or Apple) would be most advantageous. Compatibility across the Board is very important. The staff and Board are waiting the results of this pilot program program to take the next step in formulating a policy. Furthermore, Furthermore, the Public Board in our area has no official policy and most computers are funded by parent and school organizations organizations together with their Board. It should also be remembered, that the Ministry of Education has not set any guidelines or granted any specific funding, and has left tne Boards to their own resources, Our Grade VIII Students Interested In Attending Paul Dwyer Separate High School ■ In Oshawa Over the past few years, this option has grown from an almost unheard of situation to our present dozen or so, and thirty or more students considering considering Paul Dwyer for September, 1983. We have come from "no bus", to a "bus along Highway No. 2" at present, present, and if the needs and demand are there, I am confident confident the Board will provide support and the necessary service; Mr. G. Powers is conducting a campaign to gather support to improve the transportation to Paul Dwyer in Oshawa. French EMERSION Survey In the last survey in Bowmanville - Newcastle Area, there were forty-six interested students. The results results of the present survey are not complete yet, however, we . need approximately twenty students at certain grade levels to implement a successful successful French Program. Classes would be held in the available accommodations with extended extended bus service. The French. Emersion program receives special extra grants, and is a Provincial Ministry initiative. The Rose Report makes French a compulsory Secondary School credit. Peterborough has over two hundred Catholic students at two schools in French Emersion Emersion with projections of close to three hundred students by September, 1983. The Board is on record as in support of the program as long as the demand demand exists.

Earlier, Durham's elected representatives had agreed to re-deploy the housing officer Waverley Public School News of a video presentation, "Consider "Consider the Source", is in our school's health program from Grade V and up. This program was reviewed by the Board and local C.P.T.A.s prior to introduction. Presently, the Board is considering bringing in a program for primary grades. "Mr. Finley's Pharmacy" Pharmacy" is designed for this young age group and would compliment the present program program on Drug Education. Budget Preparations Budget Preparations are now occupying much staff and Board time. Currently, we have a 15.5 million dollar budget budget with projections in line with the six and five program at seventeen or eighteen million million dollars. Remember the Public Board's budget (Northumberland (Northumberland and Newcastle), is over fifty million dollars. They have a larger property tax base (Residential and Commercial) Commercial) and more flexibility. Budgets are almost fixed costs with regards to wages. Building, maintenance, and transportation are almost entirely entirely dictated. For Example: Facilities and Maintenance Budget - 2 Million. Transportation Budget Budget - 2 Million. These two items represent 25 percent of budget. With almost total dependence dependence on Ministry grants, you, the Separate School supporter, supporter, covers one hundred percent percent of any spending over their recognized ceilings. There is very little room to maneuver in any budget area. By the way, our Boards No. 1 capital priority is a new facility facility at St. Francis of Assissi, Newcastle. This project has been in planning for over two years, and although not yet approved by the Ministry as of today's date, we are hopeful. The estimated cost would be between $850,000 and one million million dollars.

On Tuesday, February 22, 1983, three Waverley Public School students, Julie Troost, Jonathan Goad, and Jennifer Lansdowne went on a day trip to The Puppetry Workshop held at Burnham Public School in Cobourg. Schools from all the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Board area took part in this special event. The Director of the Puppet Workshop was Jim Gosley of the T.V. program Fraggle Rock. He also takes part in Peppi Puppet Theatre in Toronto. They made puppets of rubber, rubber, foam, and materials such as buttons, glue, fabric, etc. At 12 o'clock they had lunch. They had a 15 minute recess and then went back to work on our puppets for the afternoon. The children would like to thank Mr. Simser for allowing them to go.

But on a vote of 18 -10, it was decided last Wednesday that the housing worker would remain remain in his current post. Councillor Bruce McArthur pointed out that 1,115 cases were handled by the housing registry office last year. "I think emergency housing ought to be available for all," he said. However, Councillor Diane Hamre said after the decision had been made that regional council had acted without understanding all of the longterm longterm implications. "There's a lack of knowledge knowledge and understanding of the whole social services department," department," said Councillor Hamre. She noted that the budget for social services in Durham has grown from $10 million in 1974 to $39 million in 1983. Councillor Councillor Hamre said she would like to see a major review of the area of social services and health in order to help understand understand the roll of this department department in the community. She accused regional coun cillors of making decisions on social services without examination or debate. While the Durham Region now has three additional welfare welfare caseworkers, Councillor Hamre said projections for 1983 indicated 15 additional employees will be needed. She said that she presumes Durham staff will request that council approve another case worker to make up for the housing officer who will be continuing with his regular duties rather than beine reassigned reassigned to the welfare caseload. caseload.
