George Stanley seeks trusteeship

Main issues facing local schools and the school district:

@ Maintaining the quality of education in,a period of reduced budgets.

@ Opening up school board meetings so the public can feel free to ex- press its concerns and can expect to be treated

with respect and courtesy. @ Reviewing (and

possibly revising) the budget process so as to eliminate the possibility of mill rate increases based on misleading or false financial informa- tion. , How I would deal with these issues as a trustee: e@ Join with other school boards to petition or lobby the new pro- vincial government for a reasonable increase in education funding. In line with Premier Vander Zalm’s stated belief in decentralization, press for the repeal of the Education (Interim) Finance Act and the restoring of taxing power and autonomy to schoo! boards. @ Use funding wisely. Vote tax increases only if they are for specific, learning-related, pro- grams, not funded by Victoria, that are clearly desired by parents and taxpayers, such as: reducing split classes, in- creased counseling, libraries, art and music, attention to learning disabilities. @ Let the public know that they are welcome at school board meetings and can express their concerns in an at- mosphere of courtesy and respect. @ A full disclosure of the 1985/86 accounting records and an audit by an independent account- ing firm, with an opinion given on the budgeting process. This matter can- not be ‘‘swept under the rug’’, or it will leave a legacy of distrust in the financial operations of the schoo! district — past and present.

look at all options in courses of action. Deci- sion making cannot run along party lines and must always serve the community first.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Council must continue to address the issue of accountability in terms of the city and its opera- tion, particularly finan- cial accountability, deci- sion making and priori- ties. I propose a mid term financial report for taxpayers.

SOCIAL SERVICES

Council must take an active and supportive roll with our city’s com- munity services. Al- though many of these services may be federally or provincially financed, council must initiate, where needed, firm lob- bying and support measures to ensure fund- ing. The disadvantaged residents of: our com- munity must also be served by council.
