SIDNEY RCMP HAVE NOT laid charges in connection with this single vehicle accident, which
happened April 1 at about 4:30 p.m. on Lochside Drive south of the McTavish Road
intersection. The late-model Hyundai skidded out of control and wound Up in the difch,
police said. A 30-year-old Sidney man, a passenger in the car, was taken to hospital with
minor injuries. Police said the accident was alcohol related, but nobody has been charged
because they cannot determine who was driving the car,

school staff and programs being cut

Cuts to staff and services in
Saanich School District 63 will be
required to correct a $2.66 million
shortfall in the budget, caused
mainly by the recent teachers’
contract, trustee David Christian
said Monday.

Contractual obligations incurred
to end the teachers’ strike are the
major reason for the budget short-
fall, he said.

Inflation and the GST, increased
UIC costs and increased enroll-
ments added minor increases to
the overall budget, Christian
added. The increased enrollments
are also offset by increased gov-
ermment funding for additional
siudents, he said.

Senior administrators will be
reviewing programs and staff to
identify where cuts can be made.
The board is to decide on the cuts
at the May 13 meeting.

“We ve asked our senior admin-
istrators to find out how we are
going to cover this shortfall —
cutting services, cutting teachers,
cutting everything they can cut,”
Christian said.

The board will try to keep the
cuts from affecting non-teaching
CUPE staff, who have already lost
12 and a half days’ work through

the teachers’ strike, Christian said.

The board does not plan a
referendum to ask for increased
taxes to cover the budget increase
and does not plan deficit financ-
ing, he added.

The district has a total budget of
$43 million and an operating
budget of $39.7 million. Per pupil
funding from the province
increased by 2.6 per cent for
1991-92. ?

Saanich Teachers’ Association
President Vincenza Cameron said
she was disappointed the board is
planning budget cuts instead of
attempting to get more provincial
funding for education.

“We're already pretty close to
the bone. I see this board being
very €ager to take anything handed

down to them,”’ Cameron said.

Given the new premier and cab-
inet, Cameron said the board
should be trying to obtain more
education funding.

Cameron was meeting with the
local teachers’ executive Tuesday
to consider the B.C. Teachers’
Federation recommended prov-
ince-wide one-hour work stoppage
April 17 to protest the provincial
government’s Bill 82.

That bill limits salaries, benefits
and working conditions.
