NV schools budget tabled

North Vancouver school board Tuesday night ap proved the 1981 provisional budget - a gross figure of $52,807 ,309.

The budget represents a 9.09 per cent increase over the 1980 budget but 1s only provisional and must now be forwarded to the Ministry of Education for comment and then returned to the school board for final changes and final adoption sometime in the spring.

The 18-page budget was prepared under three guidelines set by the board

September 30, the most important of which were maintenance of existing

programs and maintenance of the presently approved pupu-teacher rauo

Schools Superintendent Rod Wickstrom commented that while the pupil-teacher ratio was maintained cannot quite say we managed to maintain service in some respects *

“We're talking

slight reduction in services but nothing serious.”

“For example, inflation may be outdistancing our provision in such areas as

library and = instructional materials, and equipment replacement,” the in- troduction to the budget reads.

The largest proportion of the budget is allocated to salaries and a_ total of $28,434,630 is proposed for teachers salaries in 1981.

Trustee Ernie Sarsfield commented that the amount in the budget spent on teachers salanes has not grown nearly as fast as the proportion spent other salanes

on

“Since 1973 there has been a constant drop in the amount of dollars spent in the classroom = (including teacher salanes) and it 1s about time that trend was

turned around,” he said.

Trustees had some minor comments on the budget but stressed that it was not final and board chairman Dorothy Lynas said it “can go up or down depending on the facts of life.”

Trustee Don _ Burbidge said that the increases in teachers salaries have still not been determined yet and the board is still considering a couple of requests for a reduction in the student teacher ratio.

He noted that the board that passes the final budget will not be the same board that passed the provisional budget because of the up- coming elections.

Only Trustee David Craig voted against accepting the provisional budget.

He said he had considering the because it did not
