Local school boards divert funds

Local school boards divert funds-
 
The province designates to local school board $17, 000 for every child that is diagnosed LD, ADD, ADHD, if all three or more labels that
are put on the child, all the more the money. The money is suppose to go to the schools for these special needs children but they do not see
all of it. The school board keeps most.
 
Reg. Woodworth, a Trustee of the Hamilton-Wentworth District schools, ward 14-15 of Flamborough confirmed that this "assumption is
partly correct" and that, the Superintendent of business, Don Grant  could provide the break down with regards to such. Though Mr. Grant
has been contacted several times, his response has been silence.
 
I find this rather deplorable that such funds would be diverted to other areas, considering that the population designated is one of the most
vulnerable in an academic setting. Considering the flow of statements issued by many school boards of provincial cut backs, while local boards
steal form the most vulnerable.
 
What do you think...?
