SPEAK YOUR MIND CALL Joe Birett, the board‘s superinâ€" tendent of business services, said the level of provincial grants won‘t likely be known until the middle of March. The Ministry of Education has sent out letters containing prelimiâ€" nary information on grants, but not the level of grants. Asked to explain why the Catholic board follows the lead of the public board in setting a mill rate, Birett said the board has always felt that ratepayers shouldn‘t be at a disadvantage because they want to support the Catholic school system. The board had set March 15th as its next budget meeting, but that is likely to be changed because it occurs in the March school break. The Catholic school board budâ€" get, therefore, is not likely to be finalized until some time in April. CALL845â€"5585 #5250
