NDP's math on funding a bit tricky

Brandon Sun - ONLINE EDITION

According to the Manitoba government's math, the province covers 65.2 per cent of the cost of operating our $1.96-billion public education system.

And the government further says school divisions are paying only 29.2 per cent of the cost.

Are those figures accurate? Yes and no. Depends.

If you're an accountant, yes, those figures are probably right, and it's all on the up and up.

For the rest of us, no, the figures we're more likely to come up with using a layperson's common sense and logic are a 56.7 per cent share for the province, and a 37.4 per cent share for property taxes.

The key to sorting out the confusion can be found back in 2005-06.

That's the school year when the NDP decided property-tax credits -- the annual lump sum each homeowner receives from the province to reduce the impact of property-tax bills -- would suddenly be reinvented as an education property-tax credit.

The EPTC still came off the bottom line of homeowners' property-tax bills, but at that magic moment of bookkeeping legerdemain, the property-tax credit officially became education funding.

Between the 2004-05 school year and the 2005-06 school year, the government's share of paying for the public school system thus shot up from 56 per cent to 62.3, with a proportional drop in the school divisions' share.

But the amount of property taxes collected, and the overall amount spent on public education year to year, didn't change radically.

How come? Read on.

If you go to this year's edition of the FRAME (Financial Reporting and Accounting in Manitoba Education) report, you'll find the pie chart of revenue sources on page 40 -- 65.2 per cent province, 29.2 per cent school divisions.

Before you ask, the rest of the money comes from sources such as First Nations paying tuition to place their students in public schools and various smaller revenue sources such as rentals, fees, and assorted transfers.

Then go to page 42 and 43, which show a breakdown of revenue sources.

Under the column of education property-tax credit, there's $178,258,517 shown as provincial education revenue, a pretty big chunk of serious coin.

But here's where things get fuzzy. Not a penny of that money gets spent in schools.

Let's jump to page 49, where FRAME shows the figures for the special levy -- $734,192,180 of property taxes collected for education, or 37.4 per cent of the total of $1.96 billion.

Oops. Something's wrong here.

For the explanation, double back to page 43, where FRAME shows a much smaller amount for the annual revenue from municipal sources, an amount comprising 29.2 per cent of the total.

That's because -- with some footnotes and appendices explaining how the farmland tax rebate and pensioners' assistance enter into the calculations -- the tax credit the province puts into the system as education funding on page 42, gets deducted from the tax total listed on page 49, and comes straight back out of the public education system on page 43, listed as a reduced amount of taxes collected. All done on paper, without a penny of the $178 million ever having been spent in schools.

Convoluted, eh? Complex? Confusing?

Over its years in office, the NDP has steadily chipped away at the individual's tax hit, while increasing operating grants every year by more than the growth of provincial inflation. For instance, the province phased out the residential education support levy and replaced it with provincial grants.

And certainly, the province has increased the education property-tax credit from $250 to $700. But that tax credit is not now, nor has it ever been, operating funding for the public education system -- it's a tax-mitigation strategy. And to use it as a fleeting device to pump up the province's share of funding may seem disingenuous at best.

‘Your Health, Your Way’

by Department of Health

The first Isle of Man Self Care Summit took place on 31st January 2012.  Present were Minister for Health David Anderson MHK, Member for Health, Dudley Butt MLC, doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, patients, carers, third sector representatives, and senior managers.  The summit was called to take forward Patient Self Care, one of the key priorities for the Department’s ‘Strategy for Health’.
 
Jane Cooper, a Director from Talking Health Network attended the summit as the keynote speaker. Jane has a wealth of knowledge regarding Self Management issues and has been at the forefront of the development of lay led self management programmes for people with long term health condition in the UK for the last 15 years. The Summit was chaired by the Department of Health Chief Executive David Killip who said: “This summit has been a great success for the future of self care on the Island and will certainly help as a catalyst to drive us forward in developing this increasingly important sphere of healthcare.”
 
Minister for Health, David Anderson MHK said: “Work is well underway with the delivery of the Department’s Health Strategy, which was launched almost a year ago.  A great deal of work is involved, and the changes we want to make to improving and transforming care won’t happen overnight; but we’re making steady progress which I’m delighted with.”
 
What is ‘Self Management’?
Self Management is an integral part of daily life and is all about individuals taking responsibility for their own health and wellbeing, with support from the people involved in their care and in conjunction with care received from health and social care professionals. Self care includes the actions people take every day in order to stay fit and maintain good physical and mental health, meet their social and psychological needs, prevent illness or accidents and care more effectively for minor ailments and long term conditions.  People living with a long term condition can benefit enormously from being supported to self care. They can live longer, suffer less pain, anxiety, depression and fatigue, have a better quality of life, and be more active and independent.
 
The summit heard presenters outline different self care initiatives available on the Island.  They included;
Steve Sieling, Chief Ambulance Officer who gave an overview of the “Choose Well” Campaign, Physiotherapists Christine Wright and Christine Cole who talked about “Self Management, The Physio Approach” and Ann Corkill, Norman Kneen and Fiona Baxter who presented the “Live Well Stay Well” Programme .
 
Cath Quilliam, Director of Community Nursing, said: “This summit has been a fantastic opportunity to develop the future of Self Management on the Island. It was wonderful to see such a variety of services working together to improve patient and client care on the Island.”
