In a recent Edmonton Journal article, "Schools need stable funding," Sandy Koroll, Chair, Black Gold Regional Schools, writes about the impact of cuts at their board. Depleting reserves, monies "squirrelled away with specific goals in mind," will impact schools. Sandy is calling upon a funding model similar to healthcare in this province, "multi year budgets and preset grant increases." This would allow boards to plan long-term around programming and system initiatives.
Sandy makes a great point. "Alberta has a world-class public education system. This is not the way to nurture and preserve it."
