The item notes a special levy requirement related to the 06/07 budget. It states amounts included in the 2006 balance of 06/07 to be raised in 2007 and expresses a percentage relation.
The mill rate is not used for cross division comparison. The measure used is special levy collected per resident student. For 07/08 the amount was $3,897.46 per student and for 06/07 it was $3,425.52 per student.
The report shows 122 fewer students, staff reductions by 9,725 in divisors for secretaries and librarians, division office staff unchanged, expenditures rising 1.9 percent to 18,200,961, and a per student cost up by 797 dollars plus an 8.49 percent rise in the Special Levy to 7,393,498. The Special Levy per resident student is 3,897.46 with a predicted local levy increase of 472. Provincial revenue grows 2.7 percent.
Community leaders and business owners criticize an 8.49 percent increase in park West school division taxes arguing higher costs worsen a stagnant economy. Gerald Puhach notes minimal division-wide assessment growth while residents fear declining enrollment and harder conditions for attracting new business. Lorraine Brown and Robert Muir join calls to reassess the levy.
