Hyder gave an interim report dealing mainly with the Chief Executive Officers' Con- ference held in Toronto on December lst and ne Commission on Declining Enrolments (CODE) Conference held in Thunder Bay on November 17. The primary messages to School Boards arising from these conferences were: a) the necessity to exercise extreme caution in budget preparations and control of expendi- ftures as a result of the probability of declin -ing enrolments. As Provincial grants are { based on average daily enrolment, any drop in "enrolment is adversely reflected in the amount of grant money available. b) the necessity for effective communication and interaction with the general public and the necessity for the Board to demonstrate its _ accountability to the ratepayers for its expen -diture of the Educational dollar. The Ministry of Education's policy which is » also consistent with the need for accountabil- = ity in the area of Provincial and Regional Re- | views, will be continued in 1978.
