Mr. Chairman, the motion is to delete $5000. I cannot support the motion, because I believe the community needs that $5000 to begin their planning and answering the questions in their community. The community has asked and put forward their request and their requirements and what we are doing, if we take the $5000 away, is saying we will delay that for another year until certain other actions are put in place.
I believe this $5000 may very well work well. Maybe there will not be a major expenditure down the line, as it is tied to in this budget, if the community is given the opportunity of maybe just exploring that question anyway. So I cannot support taking away $5000 from a community so that they can begin discussing the extension in grades. Thank you.
