" O8p fo

that has to-be funded by raising
localtaxes,
The central concept. behind

the funding ‘formula is that the

‘province will provide the bare

“bones of education to local
‘ school districts and anything
_ that goes:beyond that has to be

paid for from local revenue.

That ‘anything could include,
_ special local initiatives for in-

‘novative programs ‘in education

(some of which may qualify for

provincial funding if. they meet
certain conditions), new
technology in classrooms (which

‘the ministry may also fund to
some extent under some condi- -

tions): and a variety of -other

_ things, the most significant of
- which in recent years has been —

the number of teachers hired

and how much those teachers.

are paid.

The negotiating process be-
tween the board and the teachers
in School District, 88 in recent
years has gotten a lot of press.
Last.year teachers were given the
option by the Ministry of Educa-
tion to form collective bargain-
ing units, and after. months of
negotiating with the local board

they went out on strike for four -

weeks. After a prolonged series

_of diatribes and screeds from
- both ‘sides a settlement was

reached, a settlement generally
perceived by local taxpayers to
be an expensive one. The follow-
ing four-year average will put
that in perspective: ;
* Over four years instruction
cost us $2,025,000 in increases;
during the same period the total
cost of operating School District:
88 went up $6,336,607. The in-
crease in local residential prop-
erty taxes collected to finance
that increase was $2,061,270. It
would appear at first examina-.
tion that virtually all the proper-
ty tax increase- went toward a
higher cost of instruction, but

that ignores increases in the ex- .

penses of administration and
support, operations and
maintenance, auxiliary services
and transportation. —

The questions remaining are
very qualitative ones: are we get-
ting a-better education for. our
children relative to’ the higher
taxes we are paying? With the
second highest property tax in-
crease in the province since
1983, are our children getting
the second best (qualitative)
education in the province? If the
current trend continues, is it fair
to expect property owners alone

to bear the burden of higher and -

higher local assessments to
finance education, and. is it fair
to expect locally-elected school
‘trustees to walk a finer and finer
line between what local tak-
payers will tolerate in property
taxes and what the public in this
district expects in the way of
education?
