Premier Alison Redford has kept her promise to return $107 M back into the education system for the 2011/2012 school year. Of that, $19.2M is earmarked for the Calgary Board of Education.
At the October 18 public meeting of the Board of Trustees, trustees unanimously supported directing $15M to schools using the Resource Allocation Method. This money will be rolling out to schools as early as next week and they can decide where it is needed most. The balance of the funding, $4.2M, will be applied to AISI as requested by Alberta Education. There are two AISI projects underway in the CBE - personalization of learning and creating secondary schools that serve all students.
However, the excitement attending the return of this funding is tempered by the knowledge that this is one time funding only and come the end of the school year, we could be looking at cuts once again.
