VICTORIA (CP) — Budgets for British Columbia's 75 school districts have no room for salary increases next year, and the Education Ministry will turn a deaf ear to districts which complain publicly, says Education Minister Jack Heinrich.

It is too early to know how many teachers might lose their jobs because of budget restrictions, Heinrich told a news conference Tuesday, cautioning districts to examine their budgets closely with a minimum of rhetoric and posturing

About 1,400 teachers were let go last year when the provincial government brought in its controversial restraint program.

The ministry also is changing the fiscal year, previously calculated on a calendar, to a period from July 1 to June 30 to coincide with the school year.

Heinrich said the total budget for the 75 districts for the interim period of Jan. 1 through June 30 will be $887 million, up from the $881 million they were told last year they would be getting, even though enrolment in most districts is down.

Total enrolment dropped to 472,000 in September from 479,000 in 1983.

The totals make no provision for any salary increases, Heinrich said, and any review made of any school district will be based on the quality of education offered.

“Adjustments on the basis of need are one thing, but I cannot and I am not prepared to adjust budgets to accommodate salary increases or increments,” Heinrich said.

GET SHORT SHRIFT

He said any school board which did not exercise some degree of restraint last year when the new financial framework was imposed, and “wished to move on political grounds during the initial stage” will get short shrift if it complains.

“I have no intention at all of penalizing those districts who have done their job, by capitulating to those who right now are pleading hardship, if they did not tackle the problem when it was first resented,” he said.

“I am not prepared to respond to the type of pressures which will be mounted, either through the media or major

groups.”

Most districts have taken the issue of restricted revenue seriously, he said, but “any district which has not done so and now wants to mount s lobby or protest will not get a sympathetic ear from me.

He said that once negotiations on teacher salaries for 1985 have been completed and the districts and local teachers associations can demonstrate that they have “done their level best to preserve the system as they would want it to be, I am prepared to review their ®

Heinrich said his job is to “preserve services to students at an acceptable or adequate level.

VANCOUVER (CP) — else in the presidency, pri

Backed by two of the largest unions in British Columbia, journeyman printer Joy Langan announced Tuesday she is seeking the leadership of the B.C. Federation of Labor.

Langan, 41, a vice-presi dent of the federation and the provincial New Democratic Party, is supported by the 38,000-member International Woodworkers of America and the 27,000-member Can- adian Union of Public Em ployees.

Langan is challenging Art Kube, 49, who has been president of the 240,000- member federation since June 1983, and longshoreman Frank Kennedy, 49.

The federation election will be held during the annual convention next week.

Langan, while refusing to direetly criticize Kube, told a news conference she feels she is the person best able to unite the labor movement in the province.

“I have the ability to pull people together, to work on a consultative basis, to work in a co-operative way, with all union members, and I think that's an important factor.”

Jack Munro, regional pres. ident of the International Woodworkers of America,

wouldn't be other candidates for the job.

marily what's gone on in the last year where up until very recently he seemed to be comfortable letting Jack Munro or the IWA take the blame for all the ills in the province.

“He has now rejected it but he took too long to reject that idea.”

A rift between Munro and Kube developed after Munro met with Premier Bill Ben- nett to formalize an agree- ment ending an escalating public sector strike last No- vember.
