An article in the Medicine Hat News, "ASBA member suggests fees for Catholic school busing," discusses the issues arising from the $116,000 that the board spends on subsidizing bus students who are ineligible for provincial transportation funding. Currently, money is coming out of the operating budget to cover this cost. While it appears no action will be taken this year, the board is predicting its deficit will grow from 835,000 to $1.2M in the 2012/2013 school year and if funding doesn't increase, fees could likely become part of the conversation.
'"It would be a real departure from what we have traditionally done, and we're quite sure some parents wouldn't be happy about it," Leahy said.'
