Clerk-Administrator TRAVELLED ROAD RNOWN 3 cL £ p00 1s p T Le a er a ts ts 11 25 ct nse 8 0 a_i, EL, Ml A LL Verbal promise not good enough, education association says Proposed legislation which takes away a portion of commer- cial and industrial tax revenue from public school boards and gives it to Roman Catholics separate school boards, must em- brace the Ontario government's verbal promise that 'no board will suffer a net loss of revenue as a result of this policy," Ontario Public School Board's Association President Ruth Lafarga told a committee of MPPs holding public hearings on Bill 64, at the Ontario Legislature on November 20. The legislation, known as *'pool- ing" of assessment between public and separate school boards, will, according to govern- ment estimates, transfer at least $180 million of local public school commercial and industrial tax revenue to separate school boards over six years. The Ontario government has given verbal assurances that public boards will be reimbursed for their losses with provincial grant money. But the Association, which represents 92 Ontario public school boards with more than 1.2 million elementary and secon- dary students and over 500,000 adult learners, says that a verbal promise is not good enough. When announcing the policy in the Legislature on May 18, former Education Minister Chris Ward said, "in no case will a public board experience a net loss of revenue." That promise was repeated by new Education Minister Sean Conway on November 7: "The government has said that no board will suffer a net loss of revenue as a result of this policy. . I am going to stand behind that commitment. I understand the concern of the public boards out there and that is a legitimate concern." '"'Verbal promises, like Ministers of Education and pro- vincial governments, come and go," said Association President Lafarga. "We are talking about the future education of almost two- thirds of Ontario's student popula- tion, the protection for public school ratepayers against signifi- cant increases in residential pro- perty taxes if the government fails to keep its promise, and the very special mandate and respon- sibilities of the public school system. Public school boards have every reason to demand legislative protection, for next year, the next six years and the next six decades," Mrs. Lafarga said. "If the Ontario government will not place its verbal promise of full compensation for lost revenue in the legislation, then we seriously question the government's future intentions and commitment to public school students, parents and taxpayers," Mrs. Lafarga said. The Association, which is seek- ing a number of amendments to Bill 64, says that the government enshrined in Bill 30, the 1985 legislation which extended full provincial funding to Roman Catholic separate school boards, the guarantee of the continued viability of the public school system. Mr. Conway was respon- sible for implementing that legislation. 'Bill 64 will divert local public school tax revenue to separate school boards. The legislative protection which public school boards are seeking has been recognized before and must be recognized again," Mrs. Lafarga "said. .
