Durham Cege, the Business DevolpTmnt Bank of Canada, Empkymeant Cnaa id Public school board drops JK FROMPAGE I "I think its a wonderful program," said Pic~kering trustee- Ruthi Ann Sehedlicii, who noted two of her family- members are in it. But with expectod provincial cuta in education spending of a billion dollars, "we havete tak. the, whole picture inte account; w. simply cannot afford it." I consider cancellatio n as our only feasible ehoioe," commented Oshawa truste. Ken Ridge. You can't continue te offer JK only in some achools and "w. don't have the. money te, expand it," h. said, adding that pretending te continue ýaslcing the. publics' opinion by postpoing tii. decision would b. wrong when there'. no other option. Although he moved the, motion te eut JK at the budget committe. and second.d it Monday night, Brock truste. Bill Fairburn said he was "acting against what I know la in the. beat interest of kdia." However, Fairburn said he had no alternative since "the choie iias already been made by, the provincial govemment." "This decision will cost us big time (though)," he warned. "It will coat us big Urne in tiie building of prisons, psychiatrie institutions, achool dropout inereasea - and I could go on and on." 'ro use Mike Harris and say it was hîm that eut this programi laa cop-out," countered Nicholson. "Ail h. did was eut out funding- it'9 our job te find out where w. want that funding te go; It was us that eut the program, flot Mike Harris, and I think the public will reniind us of that." .Trustees' are supposed té do what the public wanta them to, h. said, brandiahing a 350-namne petition agatnst the eut. "I received 100 phone calla at home. This la tii. public, people. They are telling us te do thinga their way."f Trustees ahould have asked the. public "what tiiey wanted us te doo because maybe JK la more important te theni than another pregram, h. nid, remindlng the. board that the.'Durham Catholie achool board lu keeping junior indergarden and I thlnk a lot of boards are golng te keep thua." H. urged his colleagues te postpone a decisiîon for two weeka "o alternatives to cutting JK can b. found. "If this board keepa cuttlng programa and savlng their own perkS and the lavish spending that I believe excista up here, I hope Mîke Harris takea back all the. echool boards and runmait from iei own department because I think he'll cut what we should b. cutting." Jordan saad her vote agalnst cutting JK "Isasa much a votp ln proteat to the. actions of our provincial goverpment as much au It lu a vote ln support of the value of the prograni... "I thlnk we've been yanked around like a yo-yo; we were mandated by the. province in July on 1993 to miplement JK and now, auddenly, when w. were halfway through the. prooeas, the. fundlng la yanked away."
