Metro Board Wants Bill Withdrawn The provincial government should withdraw legislation to provide funding for Roman Catholic secondary schools while a Royal Commission examines all aspects of the role of public education in Ontario, the Metropolitan Toronto School Board has told the Legislature's standing committee on social development. development. In a strongly-worded brief expressing "diametric opposition" opposition" to the provisions of Bill 30, the Board also said the government lacks authority under the Education Act to carry out its plan to provide interim funding for grade 11 this fall, in advance of the passage of new legislation. The government will be acting in a "dictatorial" manner manner showing "a cavalier attitude attitude for the courts' ' if it insists on proceeding with funding before the courts have ruled on the constitutionality of the plan, according to the Board. The Board said it had obtained obtained a legal opinion from Brian Kelsey, Q.C., a prominent prominent Toronto lawyer, that any attempt to provide interim financing would be invalid, and that the government must wait for actual legislation to be passed before it can legally divert public tax monies to Roman Catholic secondary schools. The provision provision of financial support on an interim basis would undermine undermine the integrity of the legislative process in Ontario, the Board said. The Board had earlier obtained a legal opinion from John S. Robinette, Robinette, Q.C., that the plan for public funding of Roman Catholic Catholic secondary schools is unconstitutional because it discriminates on grounds of religion. Chairman John Tolton, who with Vice-Chairman Penny Moss led the Metropolitan Toronto School Board delegation delegation in a 90-minute presentation presentation to the committee, called for withdrawal of Bill 30 and appointment of a Royal Commission "on all aspects of the role of public education in a democratic, multi-cultural and pluralistic society." The Board's brief declared that the only urgency to provide provide funding arises from "a political urgency created by this government and its predecessor...because predecessor...because of the inappropriateness inappropriateness of the process by which this policy issue has been brought into the political arena. "The issues related to this extremely sensitive matter will only be exacerbated if the government continues to impose its will in an arbitrary manner. "Our children's educational programs are too important to risk fragmentation as a result of politically expedient acts of government...children are not to be treated as pawns," the Board's brief declared. "We find it quite incredible that the government would proceed with an interim measure which has the same effect as legislation when, at one and the same time, the government is asking Ontario's Ontario's highest court to rule on its constitutional validity," the Metro Board brief said. » "By providing interim funding funding to the separate school boards prior to the receipt of a final judicial decision, it is quite clear that the government government is not taking seriously the important question as to whether the proposed legislation legislation is in fact constitutionally valid. We consider it lo he an affront to the courts and, indeed, a lack of respect for the adjudicative powers of the courts and, indeed, a lack of respect for the adjudicative powers of the courts, to imple : ment a policy when the courts are properly being asked to render a judgement on its constitutional validity." The Metro School Board delegation, which included Director Charles Brown and Superintendent Carole Olsen, told the committee that agreement agreement between the three parties parties "fails to reflect widespread widespread public opposition to this plan throughout the province. province. "We intend to challenge the principles upon which the proposed proposed legislation is based. We do not intend to suggest improvements to this legislation." legislation." Declaring that funding of Roman Catholic secondary schools would be "socially divisive-by virtue of contributing contributing to the segregation of communities along religious lines," the Board's brief said the proposed legislation will have" the result of sanctioning "one religious faith to the exclusion of all others." "In a pluralistic, multicultural multicultural society, citizens through their government have the responsibility to provide the best education possible within a single educational system which each child has a right .to attend regardless of race, colour, creed, ethnic origin, sex, mental or physical disability, disability, and not least, religious affiliation or lack thereof." Allowing any school board to discriminate as to who may attend, who may teach, and what may be taught in publicly-funded publicly-funded schools "is socially and educationally untenable in a society which values tolerance and the broadening effects that a proper education should and must provide," the Board said. The Metropolitan Toronto School Board brief asserted support for the existing right of parents to have their children children educated in private schools at their own expense, and in the right granted to Roman Catholics for tax- supported education at the elementary elementary level. However, the creation of two parallel publicly funded secondary school systems will create "needless duplication of education services" which will either raise costs or lead to a reduced quality or diver-. sity of educational programs. ; A proper calculation of the full cost of operating two pub- ; licly supported secondary school systems will add substantial substantial new costs for taxpayers taxpayers and "very significantly significantly increase" the tax burden on Metro Toronto property property taxpayers, the Board maintained. It said it expects to lose $71 million in tax revenues next year as the result of the transfer of students students to Roman Catholic secondary schools, and this money will have to be replaced replaced either by the provincial government or by local taxpayers. taxpayers. The Board also noted it is "ironic" that public funding of separate secondary schools is being proposed before the government has received the report of its special commission commission on the financing of elementary elementary and secondary education. education. Dealing with adult and continuing continuing education, the Board said that funding of Catholic schools will force public boards to start charging fees to separate school supporters for night school and continuing continuing education. The Metro brief also expressed expressed reservations about the ability of two publicly- funded school systems to each provide a high level of educational educational quality. The government's proposal "appears to accord the separate school boards the option of not offering courses which would be difficult to provide (technical, vocational and basic courses being the obvious examples), but rather affording them the opportunity opportunity to obtain them by purchase purchase from the public school system." The Metro board said that "if public funds are provided to the separate school boards, thereby according them equal status with public boards, there is a concomitant obligation obligation to provide a comparable range of programs. "The idea that once public funds have been granted to Roman Catholic school boards for secondary purposes, they would be free to provide only a selected range of programs, appears to contradict the concept concept of a publicly funded system which provides for the needs of all its students."
