Board to cut deep .

THE NEXT SET of cuts to
School District .82 to help
balance its deficit budget are
across the board, says
school board chair Linda
Campbell,

“We've nickled and
dimed to where we are
now,’ said Linda Campbell,
' who took over as chair
when Roger Leclerc
resigned last month,
‘Everyone is looking at
culs,””

Trustees are even consid-
ering cutting their own
_  8tipends, she said.

The district faces a $1 mil-
lion shortfall caused, in part,
when fewer students en-
tolled than predicted. That
means it will receive less
money from the province
than anticipated,

But the district is asking
education minister Paul
Ramsey for the $500,000
that it stands to lose.

The district is 124 students
short of what it anticipated
in spring when it set spend-
ing and staffing levels for
the yéar. ;

Campbell said programs
such as music aren't going
to be cut, but she couldn't
_ say what other action is
planned.

‘In discussions with Ram- .
sey, Campbell said he told
her that any locally devel-
oped program not financed
by the ministry has to be
looked at.

. “We're trying to hold
onto programs for dear
life,’’ she said.

She said the board is as-
king Ramsey if it can sell
the teacherages in Kitimat,
but he has yet to givé them =
the go-ahead.

The next line of cuts
won't deal with teacher.
layoff notices either, Camp-
bell said.

Recent cuts to balance the
‘budget include eliminating a
maintenance foreman’s
position in Kitimat, cutting
library assistants’ hours,
reducing school-based cteri-
cal staff in Kitimat,
eliminatng a photocopy
person position in the Ter-
tace. office. and

$25,000 by, filling. a vacant:
director of instruction posi- —
tion with an administrative
staff member.

She said the board hasn’t
even discussed filling the
position of superintendent
since acting superintendent
Sharon Beedle’s contract is
good until June 1999.

“With us being in a
deficit position, I don't
know how feasible looking
for a superintendent is,’’
Campbell said. “We don’t
have the money for advertis-
ing.”

Campbell said the govern-
ment is putting the board in
a terrible position.

She explained that deci-
sions have been set by the
government, but it’s the dis-
trict that has to do all the
cutting.

Campbell said she’s going
to tell ‘the minister that
trustees are doing the best
they can.

Accarding to her, 16 other
districts stand to lose money
due to drops in enrollment.
And everyone is waiting for
Ramsey’s announcement
whether or not they'll get
that money replaced.
