Before approving the revised budget, Trustee Louise Aimone 51 NUMBERS r When Mr. MacKay asked Mrs‘ Aimone and Mr. Bailie if they ‘would like to add anything to‘ the budget, he got no reply. Trustee Keith Nisbet of Aurora asked that. if ad- ditional relief came from the province, it be used to reduce the municipal tax levy rather than to provide additional services» In helping to interpret the budget when it was presented to the public, Business Superin- tendent George Ford outlined various areas where costs are up this year. If dollars were an indication of quality, replied Mr. Chap- man, the quality of education in Vaughan Township has been extremely high. The per-pupil cost of education in Vaughan, he said, had been much higher than in many other areas in the county. “We have taken so much out, I am concerned about what is happening in the classroom. At the end of the year, we will be wishing we had done some of the things we have eliminated. We are not serving education." commented on ,the austerity of the program. Trustee Warren Bailie report- ed that several teachers, who are also ratepayers in the coun- ty, had contacted him expres- Sing concern. He pointed out that more than $66,000 had been deducted from the budget estimate prepared by the form- er Vaughan Township School Board. Cost of converting to the new county board has been estimat- ed at $100,000, including reno- vation of a building for use as board headquarters, mainten- ance costs of the building. part- time clerical help required dur- ing the changeover, and pay- ments of two sets of trustees â€" new board members and mem- bers of the old boards who con- tinued to function in their own areas up to the end of this month. Anticipating demands for ad- ditional fringe benefits for both teachers and caretaking staff, the board budgetted $116,000 to meet these requirements. The Canadian Union of Public Em- ployees (CUPE) applied as barâ€" gaining agent for the caretak- ers the first week in January, and terms of settlement have not yet been reached. Extension of kindergartens and Oral French to areas where these have not been available will cost $80,000 for the Sep- tember to December term this year. Increase of costs per pupil is comparable to cost increases in other sectors of the economy, Mr. Chapman said, 7.8% for elementary school pupils and 8.83% for secondary schools. These increases reflect almost exactly to the increases in teachers' salaries, which account for 65.9% of the board's budget. The revised budget was ap- proved unanimously.

Trustees Endorse Policy 0f Holding Public Meetings The York County Board of Education has approved a pol- icy regarding public decision making. In a recent statement it was pointed out that the board is conscious that it is a public authority and a political body and as such has the obligation to be visible in its decision making. This conviction requires that the board conduct as much of its business as possible in open meetings so that the public will be aware how decisions have been made and who is responsw ible for those'decisions. 1 Still entitled to private dis- cussions are those property The York Education is effort to be to the public The board agreed in its rec- ent statement that since its members represent the taxpayâ€" ers and hold in trust assets that belong to the community, many facets of board policy should accurately reflect the wishes of an informed public.
