Barker stressed that the high

and are giving developers no other
alternative than to build up.

“Today, the land component is
as high as 50 to 60 per cent of total
cost. Three years ago, it was 20 to
25 per cent,” he said. :

cuts fo special
education help

Reduced budgets for special
education programs in the Saanich
School district have been ques-
tioned by the Ministry of Educa-
tion but cannot be changed
because of class size limitations in
teacher contracts.

At the Dec. 14 board meeting,
trustees approved sending a letter
explaining the situation to Minis-
ter of Education Anita Hagen.

“In 1991, after a 12-day strike,
the board and teachers agreed on a
clause giving paramount impor-
tance to class size limits,”
explained board chairman Graham
Hill.

“The implementation of this
clause resulted in reduction of
direct specialist teacher support
for some programs, including
learning assistance,” Hill wrote,
adding that the board is now
negotiating with local teachers on
a new contract.

“One of the board’s bargaining
objectives is to return to former
teacher support levels in such
programs as learning assistance, or
at least to remain at current
levels,” Hill concluded.

The board had earlier received a
letter from the ministry question-
ing cuts in the district’s learning
assistance budget.

Learning assistance is one of the
special education programs for
which budgets cannot be cut with-
out special permission from the
