There may be a need for the upfront cost in the first year. We may need self- financing," board chair Lorna Murphy said. Director of education Pauline Laing said, "The programs costs (a lot of money ). We don't want to put children into a program wit out reparation. We need to be mindful of the preparation we will need to make it a quality program." A majority of trustees suppor- ted the retaining of the reserves for future use. The busing policy was a sub- ject of debate, with Oshawa trus- tee Cathy O'Flynn leading off the discussion with her continued op psition to the funding of the ' is is just another way of busing French immersion stu- dents). Another one of the tricks the provincial government may be throwin at us is looking at the way they fund transpor- tation. "It does not add one item of better education for our children, and I move that it be deleted from the budget for this year." Cain spoke in defence of the policy's implementation in the udget, noting that "In the south end (some students have a) signi- ficant walking distance, maybe five or six miles to school." Although Cain acknowledged that French immersion students would be served by the policy, he said, "The policy was developed as a universal policy of the dis- tance factor." "The policy does benefit many other students other than French immersion," said Pickering trus- tee Louise Farr. "This olicy has taken three years, an I would be concerned if we did not sup- port it (now). If there are inequi- ties, we should get them off the books." Ajax trustee Darryl Barry opposed the policy's inclusion in the budget. "There are benefits to some students and parents but as for direct educational ienefits, I don't think I see them." In the end, a majority of trus- tees approved the inclusion of the transportation policy in the budget. Trustees also discussed the elementary computers allocation in the budget. Whitb trustee Ian Brown said, 'We still have $1.2-million allocated for computers even if we drop this (computers) from the budget." However Laing countered that We cannot divide allocations equitably between (secondary and elementary) panels, they are lesignated (by the provincial .ninistry of education)." Trustees approved the inclu- sion of this program into the budget. Social workers for secondary schools were discussed at length by the trustees. Earlier this year, the board approved in principle the hiring, on a trial basis, of social workers for secondary and elementary schools through the Ministry of Community and Social Services. "It is an admirable idea that we should support. Contracting (through COMS OC) is the best way, as the experts are the best to select the best persons for the job," Barry said. Craig said, "I'm convinced that we must sup ply our teachers with support. If we were in the restaurant business and hired the best cooks and then tied the customers' hands behind their backs, there would be some very frustrated people. "Many of these (children) come from poor home situations. Let's untie the hands of as many children as we can and give them support." Special education superinten- dent Bill Fairburn gave staffs perspective on the necessity for social workers. "There's a real need for social workers. We're asking (our tea- chers) to do that for which they were hired. Children can't learn until their problems are resol- ved." Lain gcontinued in the same vein, adding, "(The hiring of the social workers) is to make the education experience more pro- fitable for teachers and stu- dents." She suggested that in-house personnel would facilitate a bet- ter understanding the troubled child's situation, and allow the teacher and school staff involved to better assist the child. Brown did not think the social workers would help ease the burden of dealing with the in- creasing problem of social work in the schol. "I think it's very naive to think that this will ameliorate or put a dent in this problem." Fairburn said that staff now in attendance counsellor positions are ualified social workers, and could be "converted" to these positions, leaving one to serve as the provincially mandated atten- dance counsellor. Three social workers were approved by the committee,'and Frarburn concluded that "three are better than two (suggested by some trustees). I'd like to brin gin a master of social work to direct the two Bachelor's (degrees in social work)."
