Aciion Deferred On

-Positive action to provide. ad- ditional classroom facilities re- quested by the Bummerside School Board was avoided again last evening by summerside Town'Coun- cil who tossed the ball back to the School Board in an ambiguous rs- solution which announced their intention to await the decision of the School Board regarding plan- ned extensions

councillors Clark and bamboo- gall. after some discussion. were SLIOCOIDIIII in having the indec' ' a formality of the resolution teln.;.:r- ed with the added provision that the council would welcome further consultation with the School Board.

This resolution also received and filed the awaited opinion of the town recorder, E H. Strong, Q.C., on the legal reshonsibiiity of the Town Council in the controversial matter of providing additional school accommodation at the sum- merslde High School.

Mr. atrcng's letter to the coun- ell stated in part:

Your letter of July 21st, 1954 duly received and in reply I would beg to give your council the following information: section 1 (b) of the School Act defines "children of school age" as all children who are on the thirty-first day of Decem- ber in any school year between the age of six and fifteen years 1n. elusive. This is all the School Board may legally require the town to furnish accommodation for.

Section 52 provides as follows: Every board of trustees shall (I) (I) provide school privileges free of charge for all children of school age resident in the district, and when authorized by the school meeting improved accommodation in accordance with this act. (2) permit persons above sixteen years of age who desire to attend school in the district in which they re- side to do so free of charge if there is sufficient school accom- modation in accordance with this act. (2) permit persons above six- teen years of age who desire to at- tend school in the district in which they reside in do so free of charge if there is sufficient school so- commodation. '

Section 102. The town of sum- merside shall for the purpose of this act be one entire district.

Section 104. The board of true- tees shali provide sufficient school accommodation and tuition free of charge to all children bf school age in this district. but not includ- ing children in grades eleven and twelve. and amongst other things must report annually to the coun. Cll upon the expenditure of the moneys received by the board of trustees under said act and gen-

land and buildigs to provide a com-I mon school education for child-

ren of school age in the district, and does not authorize the school. board to build auditoriums and? zymnasihms and to go into branches

of education not contemplated byl the school not.

(2) Not required to furnish an educational system equal to the third year in Prince of Wales Col- legs which college is purely fin- anced by the provincial government. Our high school has introduced I curriculum that plans on passing scholars into second year at a

university. Note by recorder. This advance education. auditoriums. etc., are

not contemplated by the school act and the council are not obliged to furnish such accommodation or pay interest on debentures that the school board may issue for such purposes.

The land comprising the school property was purchase by the Town of Summerside om time to time, and the larger part of said land is owned outright by the Town of Summerside and not by the School Board. ,

From time to time the Town Council has built school buildings. i provided necessary mrnishingai and equipment. paid supplements of teachers. so that today no pub- lic school in this province has such a diversified curriculum. At no time has the -School Board is- sued debentures for such pur- poses since Summerside was in- corpcratsd.

As to pupils from outside the school district being educated in Surnmeraide, on inquiry I cannot find that any accounting has been made to the Town of Summerside of amounts received by the School Board, and from whom, and as under the school not a non-resi- dant who owns property in sum- marsida may demand a r duction

of the amount paid to him as a non-resident sanding children to

the town not only gets no credit for the amount paid but in addl-'. tion pays out of the general taxes a refund to such tax payer.

All these matters should be carefully gone into by your coun- cil. and no further expenditures should be made by your council ex- ceptunder the provision of the school act.

For instance. an auditorium. gymnasium. etc. may ha built by the Town Council. but only for the benefit of the eitisana in gen- aral .as many of our citizens or their children receive no direct bosom from our High school or? Academy. I

Deductions: In my opinion as

recorder the action of the Board in its non co-opara- tion with the council is unwarrant- ed. and for the reasons above Ital- ad beyond its rs, and in that sense illegal it persists to act contrary to the school act. Thai the School Board only has author- ity to build or request aecommoda- r tion for its patent requirements strictly in conformity with the school act and its present sets arc. in eonformfsy with same.

Proposed, Addition

Q.c.. which read in part as fol- lows: "I have before me a copy of opinion of your recorder regard- ing additions to the High School here. This has Just been received and there has at this time been no opportunity to have copies made and given to and considered by our school board.

It should also be noted that the Ivwn Council many years ago agreed to the addition of the High School grades and has already provided accomlnodiitlon for them. Present expansion requirements are made necessary only because of the g oral increase in school attend-

e. Hence, the expansion is for the accommodation of children of school age. This seems to be the chief point made in the report, at least the chief one in reference to the matter in which we are primar- ily concerned.

It should also be noted that the School Board has accounted and does aocoun every year in its re- port to the Town Council and in its annual statement for all moneys received by the board from non- resident pupils. The practice in the past in regard to a nonresident taxpayer who owns property in Summerside and pays taxes thereon. is K: have him present to the sec- retary his bi1l,for taxes from the town, and that amount is used to- wards reduction of any non-resident foes hr his children. This is set out in a recent amendment to the school act which the writer vigor- ously opposed, but nevertheless it became law.
