Municipalities, boards
wrestle with cost change

IF THE three North Shore municipalities receive
the go ahead from the North and West Vancouver

school boards,

the North Shore Union Board of

a major shift in early 1985.

The present funding for-
mula calls for a 38 per cent
contribution from the
municipalities and 62. per
cent from the school boards.

Vancouver School District
has deferred decision on the
agreement, pending the
receipt of a staff report on
the provision of health ser-
vices in the school district.

The Dhistrict’s secretary-tr-
easurer, John Cassey told
the North Shore News the
staff report is not expected
until January.

The two school districts
are expected to base their
annual contributions on the
rauo of full tume equivalent
pupils in each school district

to the total full time
equivalent’) pupils in both
school districts during the

preceeding year.

Municipal contributions
are based on the ratio of the
population of each
municipality to the collective
population of the three
North Shore municipalities
as established in the most
recent census taken by
Statistics Canada.

Any party wishing to
change the cost. sharing
agreement must provide one
year’s notification to the
other parties involved.
