The forecast approved provides for anticipated growth allowing for freedom in planning for new buildings. It puts less emphasis on bussing elementary school students out of the community they live in â€" as much as five or ten miles to a school designated for that community. At the top of the priority list is the expenditure of nearly half a million dollars for additions to two schools in Georgina â€" Sutton Public School and Morning Glory Public School. These projects should be complete by 1980. York school trustees approved their tenth annual capital exâ€" penditure forecast and in doing so made a fairly firm commitment on what buildings and maintenance jobs it will spend its money on for the next five years. The preamble to two possible options made it clear that the student population of the Region will not increase within the next five years to the extent a major building program can be justified. It was this set of priorities that split the board into two groups. The second option would have pushed most of the capital projects in Markham back at least two years to allow the board to concentrate on building renovations and its bussing policy for students. Capital expenditure forecast approved The board then plans to invest $5.7 million in the Town of Markham. which includes various ad- ditions. alterations and two new schools â€"- one on Willowbrook Road and one in the new Riseborough develop- ment. These proposals are to be submitted next year and the last of the projects will be complete by July 1981. f o r M a r k h a m wholeheartedly suppo- rted the second option because she felt it was the glarineg obvious choice. “I represent Thornhill and I know how much the people there want a school. We have to conâ€" sider all the children Doreen Quirk C linic trustee “Part of the problem is with the differences in the Region. We have empty places in areas with no students and students where there are no schools. You have to bus kids, there‘s really no Richmond Hill Trustee Bill Monroe said he is opposed to bussing per se. across the region and in a time of financial restraint. I don‘t think we should be going to the province and asking them for that kind of money for new facilities,“ she said. Her counterpart in Thornhill couldn‘t agree: “Assumption two is not acceptable. Bussing whole communities five or 10 miles is unfair. If you ask, you get. Why shouldn‘t we at least be able to request these funds from the ministry?“ asked Bob McMonagle, who also happens to be chairman of the finance committee.
