To me it means there isn’t a deficit, but apparently the trustees of the Toronto Catholic District School Board think it means a $200,000 deficit.
But they are the same people who think that expenses of $107,000 each is acceptable.
The whole system sounds like a farce to me.
How about we determine the actual expenses required to be a trustee and pay for those expenses directly. On top of that provide an honorarium and a stipulation that no other expenses will be covered. The trustees are supposed to be in it for the kids so this proposal should not encounter any opposition.
I just did a quick scan of Joseph Martino’s expenses and I’m not sure why the School Board is paying for his home phone and internet; or family pack meal deals from Swiss Chalet.
