CUT-UP The total amount of $102,- 100,000 is $14,100,000, or 16% greater than the amount pro- vided for direct grants to school districts last year. It does not include $4,800,000 paid by the Provincial Govern- ment on behalf of school dis. tricts tor teachers’ superannua. tion, nor $37,800,000 in Home Owner Grants to reduce - local school taxes. The- combined figures make a total of $144,- 700,000 in grants and payments for school district education costs. The Government will pro- vide a durther $2,200,000 to- ‘wards the cost of school district and regional colleges. The education finance form- ula provides that for each school district the Provincial Government pays for the full cost of a basic education pro- gram beyond the amount which can be raised by a basic levy determined annually by the Lieutenant-Governor in Coun- cil. The Public Schools Act provides that this levy cannot exceed 18 Mills and further provides that Provincial basic grants shall not be less than one-half of the total cost of the basic education program for al) school districts calculated on a Appliances CLASSIFIED Home Furnishings THIS WEER’S SPECIALS SAVE $50.00 — 7-PCE, SUITE basic levy has been set at 16.10 Mills for 1987, an in- crease of .15 Mills over the 1966 rate of 15.95 Mills, In addition to the increase in the basic levy coverlng the the basic education program, Mr. Peterson pointed cut that for 1967 there had been sub- stantial increases in school dis- trict budgetting for services which are paid for locally and this thas resulted in a further increase in local school mill rates.
