WV trustees criticized from both sides

By SUSAN

CARDINAL

West Vancouver
school board was
caught between two
extremities Monday
night when trustee:

came.under attack for
two different reasons
but both boiling down
to money.

“I'm watching the erosion
of the teaching here ... and
Vm very concerned about it
(teacher staff cutbacks),”
said Frank Stromotich,
father of three West .Van-
couver students.

From Bruce Sinclair,
whose . five grandchildren
attend-schools in the district,
came an entirely different
-omplaint. “I’ve been a
taxpayer in West Vancouver
since 1938. I'd like to know
~hat’s going on,’ said
Sinclair who accused the
hoard of over-spending.

Sinclair's iaxes jumped
$600 this year.
‘lf you people (the

‘rustees) are selecting top-
yrade teachers” then they
should be able to teach 40

PURE SILK NOIL

One of our most popular silks. In colors of Natural, Peach, Pink,

students, not 20, argued
Sinclair suggesting such a
move would cut costs.
Teachers have long fought
for smaller classrooms.

‘*They’re (trustees)
spending money like
drunken sailors,” Sinclair
told the News.

Trustee Mark Sager,
chairman of the  board’s
finance committee, told
Sinclair that the budget was
scrutinized “and that’s right
down to the paint on the
walls.”

Meanwhile Stromotich
wanted to know why the
board was cutting [5 teachers
when it had a $400,000
“surplus”. Sager explained
that although the money was

raised through local taxes, it

was an “amount above the
basic education program
(budget).”

Extra monies collected are
returned ..to provincial
education coffers according
to the finance formula.

Stromotich said that an
aging population whose

children had already been
through the system were no
longer interested in paying
for education.

Tennis bubble .
here to stay

The guardians of the
bubble are well on the way
to having freedom of choice,
and that should be good
news for some North Shore
tennis players.

North Vancouver Distnct

third readings Monday to a
bylaw which will allow Court
House West to teave the
inflatable bubble at 2035
Fullerton Avenue in piace
for as much of the year as

necessary.
Courthouse Racquet
Sports has applied for

permission to do this, rather §

than bemg tied to a seasonal
limitation.
