The board and administration of .
School District 88 now have one
component of their budgeting
information for the 1991-92 school
year. The remaining part is sched-
uled to be released by the Ministry
of Education Feb. 25.

Minister of Education Stan
Hagen announced the provincial
block amount last Friday —
$5,500 per student, an increase of
$241. Hagen said the overall
increase is made.up of an "eco-
nomic increase" of 3.75 percent
($198) and $43 for programs that
were previously funded with grants —
outside the block, but are now
included in the block amount.
Those programs include English as
a Second Language and costs
associated with special education.

The effect on the local district

B will not be known until the

ministry issues the budget instruc-
tion manual, which will specify the
block amounts for each district.
District 88 treasurer Barry Piers-
dorff said Monday that last year
the local board received a block
$541 — 10.47 percent — above
the provincial block average of
$5,259. Speculation on this year’s
amount would be premature, he
said.

"In broad terms, it won’t keep up
with. inflation," Piersdorff said of
the provincial block. "It’s going to
make things tighter."

According to Statistics Canada, the
1990 annual rate of inflation cal-
culated from the Vancouver Con-

sumer Price Index was 5.5 percent.

If this year’s district block
amount is the same in proportion
to the provincial block as it was
last year, it would come to $6,076,
an increase of $276 over last yeat.
That’s $78 more than the provin-
cial block increase, but it includes
special needs funding that came in
separate grants last year.

Board chairman Edna Coopet,
noting that all the budgeting infor-
mation is not yet available, still

1 School trustees in budget vigil

expressed dismay at the level of
funding increase, "We're into deep
restraint again," she said, "It’s like
the Bill Bennett years." |
If the 3.75 percent provincial
increase is an indication of the
remaining funding information,
Cooper said, it will mean a further
erosion in the supplies and services
component of the district’s operat-
ing budget. In the 1990-91 school
year 83 percent of that budget
went into salaries and benefits for
personnel —- teachers, maintenance
and custodial staff and administra-
