 TheStar.com - Give our schools $1.8B, Eves told
Mordechai Rozanski responds to a question from the media at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre yesterday during the release of his long-awaited task force report on Ontario's education system.
Rozanski told the government to put $1.1 billion back into education to bring school spending in line with inflation and increased salary rates.
Rozanski said Ontarians were basically happy with the funding formula's attempts to create equity for the province's students, but the stagnant five-year-old benchmarks meant there simply wasn't enough money.

Addressing the proposed budget cuts in higher education, President Rozanski stated that “while we recognize the need to address the State budget deficit, the proposed cuts impose a disproportionate burden on the state’s colleges and universities, threatening the quality and accessibility of higher education for current and future students.
Rozanski emphasized that “independent higher education is and should remain a worthy and valuable investment in New Jersey’s future and we will work hard to retain this support for our students.” He encouraged students, faculty and staff to assist in this effort by writing their legislators.
President Rozanski thanked Rider’s own Shirley Turner, chair of the Senate Education Committee, for her staunch support as well as Perry Whiteley, president of the SGA, who represented Rider at the Governor’s Mansion along with other students to make the case for higher education.

 OPSBA News Release - April 15, 2003
The intention of this recommendation was to bridge the gap between the establishment of the benchmarks in 1998 and 2002.
The closing of the gap or catch up funding is needed to meet the current cost of delivering quality education and to allow school boards to move forward in their ability to provide support for programs and services to improve student achievement.
OPSBA is pleased that the government is committed to activities related to an ongoing response to Rozanski's report that will include consultations on: rural education strategy; learning opportunities grant; special education; French-language school boards; aboriginal education; technical education; and governance and accountability.

The province's universities, in turn, are delivering the increased spaces," said Mordechai Rozanski, Chair of the Council of Ontario Universities.
Rozanski added, "Students and their parents have been asking about student prospects for admission to an Ontario university this year, and it is immensely gratifying to be able to give them the assurance that they can expect opportunities for admission that are comparable to those for the students who have gone before them."
Applications for admission to Ontario universities for fall 2003 have increased by approximately 46 percent over the same time in the previous year, in large part due to secondary school reform, which finds university-bound students from the former five-year curriculum and the new four-year curriculum seeking admission at the same time.

The government's immediate response to the Rozanski report was to release $610 million to school boards in the current year (2002-03).
OPSBA believes, however, the 2003-04 General Legislative Grants must include an immediate adjustment to address the $1.1 billion gap, as identified by Dr. Rozanski, as well as a cost adjustment to the benchmarks for inflation in 2003-04 and not defer this cash infusion over three years.

Mordechai Rozanski's Education Equality Task Force confirmed what parents, teachers, students and staff already knew - our schools have been suffering greatly since the Conservatives started cutting and slashing in 1995.
While the Conservatives have made a series of pre-election funding promises, these piecemeal announcements are just starting to restore the $2.1 billion the Conservatives gouged out of the classrooms in the first place.
The McGuinty Liberals have no plan to restore the $2.1 billion cut from education and have no commitment to implement the Rozanski Task Force recommendations.
