Funding priorities

Dear Editor:

RE: UGDSB will appoint, not elect, new Orangeville trustee, Oct. 12.

When a Member of Parliament resigns from office, we never seem to consider the cost of democracy into the equation, but for some reason the Upper Grand District School Board does. 

When it comes to being cost-effective at the UGDSB, apparently an election isn’t seen as important as a $70,000 new logo. 

And of course, at some point the UGDSB we have to cough up funding for an election in 2026. Very interesting to see what the school board prioritizes funding for.
