Mr. Betts: "At what rate?” Inspector Gibson: "The rate will be the same as you get now for out of town school p4upils."_ It was then explained by the reeve that taxpayers in Mark- ham would be assessed for school costs on their Markham tax bill and that the Township of Mark- ham would pay the costs, per pupil’s education, to the Vaughan Township school board _ "Mr. fiarker? “That’s contrary to what the reeve said a few min- utes ago."

We took our time and they are a success.” He asked council to defer its decis- ion to have a township school board for one year â€" and In the meantime to give them something concrete they could study.

Inspector Gibson: “Ultimately the whole township will be on the same school rate." The inspector said the opportunities available for children in Schol Area No. 1 now, such as 'kindergartens, art classes. classes for slow learners and so forth are "so much ahead of our other township schools.” But he also said that for all the schools in the new townshlp school area. to have such services was “in the laps of the gods?

Reeve: "The two inspectors.” Roy Chandler, another trustee from School Area No. 1. refer- red to Markham’s plan proposed two years ago to dissolve the school area and said. “I think that Yonge Street, as far as being a boundary â€" means nothing. You tell me you are going to improve the education standard right across the township. I believe in equalization, but not this far. I can't see it go any way but down. You haven’t any-money now, you are not going to get a marshalling yard for four years. I agree kindergartens are good in any area. but these things cost money.

I would like to ask council on what lines your research took place and how do you hope to re-style the two types of education in the township today?" Reeve: “We felt that the first prople to interview were our in- spectors â€"- and then we drew up this booklet affecting hte school are..; of township. We feel that the standard of education will be higher all over the township." Then the reeve predicted “This is going to shake you,” and said. “on 1958's figures it would cost (all over the township 35.4 mills for education (public school) costs." Presently, the mill rates have ran- ged from 6 mills at Hope to 27 mills in School Area No. 1. Un- der the new doubled assessment they go up to 54-57 mills. “It is our hope and intention that when the C.N.R. comes into the townâ€" ship it will help the assessment picture. We had advice on this begore taking this step." “Each type fills the need and requisite of its own area. In School Area No. 1 we have the 27 mm cost of education. This part has been pressed for more and more different types of education, so that it is difficult to keep the mill rate down to 27 mills. I would like to ask council on what lines your research took place and how do you hope to re-style the two types of education in the Inspector: “It seems to me if you can appoint five men as councillors for the whole of Vaughan Township â€"- why not a five-man school board?" Mr. Alan Parker, vice-chairman on the board for School Area No. 1 Markham-Vaughan, took the floor to say, “You made some statements of costs. There are two different types of cost in this township. (1) The densely popula- ted section of School Area No. 1 and (2) The type in more sparse- ly populated parts of the town- ship.” Present Boards Fill Own Needs Inspector Gibson: “The answer to that lies in the future. This board which will be elected will be just as completely in charge of education affairs as you are at the present tlme. I1 anyone thinks Council is doing this for assessment purposes they are wrong. I am not suggesting we do away with one-room schools, but when the board is elected they will take what steps are necessary.” Mr. Redelmeler: "You have 60 people in this room -â€" all work- ing to that aim, possibly without pay.

The inspector replied: "There would not be a lot of reshuffling. It would only mean a change, to make them (the teachers) fit in better.” He infer- red that whereas a teacher might not .fit in in one school in the area he might do so tu his advan- tage and the advantage of the school in another part of the township. The following advantages of a township school board were then read from a manual by Councillor Br: e Ralph: “There would be less bartering regarding salaries. etc; we can move teachers from one school to another. where they will fit in. better; There will be a business administrator; Music instruction will be available for 16‘ schools instead of 11: other schools (other than those in Area No. 1 will have an art supervis- or; classes for slow learners will be extended and kindergarten: will be added under the town- ship plan." _ - n n L:- AuToronto Gore trustee asked, “Is it possible to give a lift like that to the school board?"

Toronto Gore Township Council will make some move to bind the ex- isting parts of your school to their existing schools.

He asked that a five-man committee be set up right away to go into the situation. “If the new type of system is to be effective." he said. “then we should know more about the structure of a new board -â€" and to know that every area would get the right educa- tion." Reeve Perry said, “It has been the intention of this council, prac- tically since taking office, to give some of our capital returns to education, this is another reason for having a school board. We could not give to one school sec- tion and not another under the old system. this way they can all benefit." 7 r A " 'v mmnmmummnmmmmmmmmmm The reeve stabed that the $200 per lot now being collected by the township would eventually be do- nated to the township education budget.

Mr. Chandler said. "I think you: pub- lic relations have been bad â€"- and I think this meeting should have been held before your by~lawwas laid down. Had you said earlier you Were working to the disolu- tion of the school area, I think all those facts could have been worked out. Reevae Perry said. “I don't think we'll say we are entirely “Kong in this. When Markham started this two years ago -â€"- we can't be entirely wrong." Mr. Harold Skinner of School Area No. I asked. “Why not have the reeve appoint a five-man board?" to which another trustee from another section of the township said, “Yes. But you're handing away your rights." ' Reevé Pei‘rii said'that if a fiveâ€"man advisory committee. were set up now it would cancel the approval of the by-law for a year. “(1) Is there anyone opposed to a township school area?” The answer, surprisingly enough, was “No.” He then asked, “(2) Those who wish it held up for another year for further investigation, hold up your hands.” A few more than half of the hands were shown. His third question was. “Those who wish to proceed, show their hands.” When about 12 hands were raised the reeve said. “I think then, ladies and gentle- men, we will adjourn the meeting and it will be left up to the ap- proval of council whether it is deferred or goes through.” Mr. Betts said. “I think it would have been better received if it had come slower." Mr. Taylor, who has been with the school board since the estab- lishing of School Area No. ‘1 in 1951 said council should be con- cerned with the costs and the quality of education. He felt the problem needed more research and that the trustees did not have enough realistic information to go on.

Reeve Perry told "The Lib- eral" after the meeting, that al- though the council does not wish to oppose the wishes of the trus- tees. it does stand behind its de- cision that a township school area is a good thing for Vaughan Toynship. “I do feel." he said further. “that to pass a by-law and then to ask the trustees to co-operate is not what we want." Mr. Betts said be though it was time the ratepayers in the three townships concerned should have a say, since it concerns their chil. dren's education. Mr. Chandler said he felt that if a five-man committee studied it and found It was a good thing to have there would not be any further objection. Reeve Berry concluded the ses- sion finally by stating, "I am sure we could rescind the by-law. If it was approved by the Mlnlster and we found it wasn't feasible." He then said, "I am going to put three questions to all of you and I want you to answer them.
