There will be 15 (full time
equivalent) aids who will not
be terminated. However,
choosing those who will stay
on, may cause a serious
conflict between the board's
priority list and aide
senority.

Other items which will be
cut include: a $50,000
reduction in the equipment
replacement budget, $41,000
in school supplies, $20,000 in
library books and $7,500 in
caltoral and performing arts.

“Our priority was to
protect the classroom level
of instruction and reduce the
level of service,” said School
Supderintendent Ed Carlin.

‘BANDAID'

Alban called the cuts a
“bandaid solution,” which
does very little to help the
further cut of $1.2 million
ordered for next year.

“But I guess a four-month
measure is about the best we
can do now,” Alban said.

School trustee Margot
Fark called the cuts in the

budget “rather ex-
treme.” She was the only
board member who ex-
pressed a desire to see some
type of roliback or partial
Layoff of teachers.

Board member Dawn
Sikula was furious at the
Ministry of Education for
ordering the cuts and called
on the board to refuse to

comply with the restraint
program.

Her motion met with
enthusiastic support of the
audience, but did not gain
any support from the board.

The trustees came under
criticism from both political
sides at the meeting as they
were hammered for not
taking a stand on rollbacks,
and not trying to negotiate a
better deal from the Ministry
of Education.

“The fiscal restraint
formula actually punishes
those boards who have
practiced fiscal restraint,”
said one teacher.

“The board has little it can
do,” said Carlin.

to be axed in W. Van

On a lighter note, Alban
suggested the board look
into the Unemployment
Insurance Commission's
Work Sharing Plan to see if
any layoffs can be held off.

“I hesitate to bring this up
at this time because when |
discussed this at an earlier
Meeting with trustees I was
called a communist ... I am
not a communist and have
never been a communist,”
Alban said.

Alban told the meeting
that one of his radically
“right wing clients” used the
program.

“In fact, if you scratched
their surface you would
probably find a Socred.”
