No School Closures in SD27 for 2014-15 Budget Year

Courtesy of the Board of Education - School District #27(Cariboo-Chilcotin):

The Board of Education passed a motion at its 25 March 2014 closed meeting, that, although the Board is facing financial pressures, it will not be considering school closures as a way to balance the 2014-2015 budget.

Board Chair, Tanya Guenther, stated, “With continued declining enrolment, the gradual loss of our funding protection from the Ministry of Education, and other increased costs, we are in a position where we are not done making difficult decisions. As we carefully examine all of our programs, the continuation of the Balanced Calendar program at Cataline Elementary is one of the programs the Board is going to discuss.”

The Board will be discussing the Balanced Calendar program at the 29 April 2014 meeting of the Board. (Note: This is a new meeting date that has changed from the previously advertised date of 22 April 2014.)
