Bruce County Federation of Agriculture Delegation to Bruce County Council

Thursday, June 1, 2017

We thank you for this opportunity to present to you a proposal that may help to solve a serious and impending problem that affects,and will affect all Bruce county communities.

Recently the issue of education for rural students has come to the forefront in this county as well as in other counties in Ontario. The closure of the secondary portion of Chesley Community School and potentially up to 100 other local schools in Ontario has rightly raised concerns in the rural population. Bus rides to school of an hour each way for kindergarten students are not and should not be acceptable for rural students and most certainly would not be tolerated in city school districts. For older students in rural areas,extended bus travel time limits critical time for studying as well as opportunities for out of school hours activities, ie.,school sports, extra tutoring, part time jobs,etc. In addition, especially during winter months, there is an increased potential for accidents in inclement weather.

This is not to say that Board of Education funding should be spent on old and inefficient buildings. On the contrary, the Bluewater Board of Education must strive towards getting the most "bang for its buck " from the funding that is currently provided by the provincial formula. We believe that the trustees on the Bluewater Board of Education take their responsibilities very seriously and attempt to achieve the best education opportunities for Bruce and Grey County students. However, the support for rural students within the funding formula has declined over the last decade.

The use of an education funding formula is intended to be an impartial and equitable method of distributing operating revenue to Ontario’s school boards. On its surface, this approach makes sense. In reality when the funding formula is matched with the complex and changing nature of our rural geography and delivered in the context of four publicly funded education systems, there are unintended consequences. Many of these consequences have had a negative impact on our rural students and their communities.

For example, the Ministry of Education has indicated that they have opened new schools or provided capital for expansion of existing buildings on an order comparable to the rate of school closures. Unfortunately in rural Ontario, much of the expansion and new building has happened in the same location as existing space. This has resulted in school closures, often in the same community or in surrounding communities. Most often larger centres have benefitted from the additional investment at the cost of rural communities and their students.

A second example of these unintended consequences related to the current formula is in the distribution of geographic circumstances funding. This funding is intended to support the education of students in rural and remote locations. A little over a decade ago, a portion of the grant currently known as the “supported schools amount” was triggered by schools in the most rural and remote parts of Bruce County. Now the this funding flows almost completely to larger population centres in our school district such as Owen Sound. Once again this puts pressure on our rural schools and their students.

Needless to say, the removal of a school from a community strikes a severe blow to its viability, perhaps even its survival. Young families looking to settle in the area naturally gravitate to municipalities with educational facilities. Often, a school is the social compass that determines the overall personality of a community.

It is no secret that over the last decade there has been a large decline in school aged children across the greatest extent of the province of Ontario. Now there are far fewer rural and farm families sending children to school. What may not be as apparent is the fact that although there are fewer "stewards of the land;" and a huge proportion of their tax dollars fund the education system. Fewer farmers now pay tax on larger farm acreages while consuming fewer educational services. It is reasonable to expect that these taxes continue to fund a viable educational infrastructure that is vital to our rural communities.The Bruce County Federation of Agriculture firmly believes that there are positive solutions to this dilemma.

BCFA is pleased that the Paisley school has a five-year reprieve and that although the secondary portion of Chesley Community school is closing, the agriculture program that has been so widely praised will continue to function there as an off site campus. It will be up to the agricultural community to prove that this is a viable project and maintain its availability should the offsite campus be transferred to another location.

BCFA compliments municipalities such as Arran Elderslie that have offered substantial sums of money to the school board to facilitate keeping their local school open. However ,this is a stop gap measure which may ultimately result in further downloading of the provincial government's responsibilities on to financially struggling municipalities. Although good in the short term, this is not a satisfactory solution.

The decision of the Davis government made decades ago to acknowledge the sectarian nature of Ontario’s population by extending full funding to all four education systems was based on transparency and fairness as well as the realities of the day. However, times have changed. With declining enrollment and the large geographic extent of rural Ontario, a new rural education strategy is critically needed. A new strategy with a focus on fairness to rural students and the communities must be envisioned.

The BCFA wants to take a proactive and positive role in helping the Government of Ontario understand the urgency of this issue. It is our plan to circulate this proposal to all County Federations for their support and for presentation to their own municipalities.

BCFA asks that you endorse:

1. Our call for a new rural education strategy in Ontario with a singular focus on fairness to its rural students rather than its four publicly funded systems.

2. That a immediate moratorium be placed on school closures until such time as the funding formula can be updated to reflect and support contemporary rural Ontario.

In summary, it is obvious that a Rural Educational policy must be promoted. Rural and Northern Ontario need to be treated differently than urban areas. It could be that the size of schools may be different or programs offered may need to be localized according to the need. A sliding scale of funding for rural schools should be applied realizing that equal funding per student in the province may not be fair funding.

This issue is not just related to agriculture and farm families. It is about all communities in Bruce county. Larger towns should not assume that this disproportionate funding will not someday be applied to them. Apathy and appeasement should not overpower proactive dialogue towards a constructive conclusion. As Winston Churchill once wisely said; "An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile hoping that it will eat him last".

In the final analysis we are talking about our children's education and our communities 'futures. We all know that politics and economics are at play in funding decisions but we suggest that an Alliance of stakeholder groups ,including, for example, the OFA, Municipal representatives, Bluewater Board of Education trustees etc.

All we ask for is a fair and equivalent education for our children ,no less than we would expect for our urban cousins' children.

We need to promote these solutions before it is too late.

Respectfully submitted,

Les Nichols,

President of the BCFA
