NEWS photo Cindy Goodman INTERIM TRUSTEE Bob Smith faced a stream of.criticism Monday as parents and students cut up his budget-alicing options. EMGTIONAL PARENTS and stu- dents fired heated words at interim North Vancouver School District 44 trustee Bob Smith Monday night at a jammed Carson Graham secondary gymnasium. By lan Noble News Reporter Speaker after speaker defended programs that are slated for potential cutting in Smith's interim report, including Seycove secondary’s Grade 1! and 12 classes, Brooksbank elemen- tary’s French immersion, special education, and a full slate of electives for secondary students. But everyone ignored Smith’s request for alternate recommendations to balance the dis- trict’s 1996-97 budget, which is expected to be $4 million in the hole if changes aren't made. The district will have accumulated deficits of $4.9 million at the end of June. Facing banners protesting his proposed edu- cation cuts, Smith said he will recommend the minister provide additional funding to cash- strapped District 44. But he said that won't solve the whole problem. “We're either going to bite the bullet now, and fix the delivery system into a way that is sustainable over the long-run or we're going to be continually facing this problem just as we lave over the last number of years,” fe said. Smith said the options presented in his report are intended to make maximum use of - instructional time through measures such as Crowd blasts plan but offers no alternatives filling classes and rejigging boundaries. He added the proposals outlined in his inter- im report will be little altered in the final report if he is not provided with other options. But the throngs who reached the micro- phone to speak to Smith weren't interested in giving options. Instead, they rebutted Smith’s recommendations and called for increased funding. One contentious recommendation contained in Smith's report is an eight-course limit for secondary students. A Balmoral junior secondary student said the recommendation would cut the music options for students. That, she said, has left stu- dents angry and disappointed. “By taking these resources away from them. not only will you crash their dreams, you wil! also destroy their hope for the future.” she said. Another said electives are needed to meet post-secondary requirements. Assistant District 44 superintendent Paul Killeen replied that the cight-course recom- mendation allows students to meet graduation and post-secondary school requirements. But the variety of “experiences” available to secondary students will become limited, said Killeen. “The elective area courses,” he said, “will now compete with each other more for the enrolment of students.” Seycove secondary, which faces the loss of its Grade 11 and 12 students to Windsor sec- ondary in a $200,000-a-year cost-saving move, had a large and raucous delegation defending the school. So raucous, in fact, they were warned not to take any more personal poishots at Smith and were accused of hijacking the meeting by North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA David Schreck. Seycove students and parents said the close relationships that have developed between and among students, teachers, and administrators will be harmed. “Why are you setting him up for failuzc?” asked a parent of a Grade 11 Seycove student. She noted students will need to take three buses to get to Windsor. Smith replied that Seycove has classes that can be as small as seven students. “That's not a ratio that other students on the North Shore have the privilege of attaining,” said Smith. On the other hand, a Windsor parent pointed out that already large classes at Windsor face the “double whammy” of an influx of Seycove students. Other concerns cited by parents and students included the final report not being made public immediately. Smith will meet with groups affected by his proposed cuts before submitting his final report to Education Minister Paul Ramsey on March I. Display Advertising. 986 : “Clasgitieds 986-6222
