Tonight, the Kelsey School Division will host an open house division budget meeting at the Scott Bateman Middle School from 7 to 8 p.m.

 

Public participation and input are required as the Division looks toward program upgrades and improvements.

 

Recent provincial funding announcements for schools mean a larger budget for the upcoming school year; Cheryl Sinclair, the board trustee, shares more.

 

"Many of the public may know that recently the education funding was announced and our school division actually did get an increase from the provincial government.  So we're thankful for that funding announcement. 

 

"And we also discovered that for the 24/25 fiscal year, we're under the same education framework."

 

Sinclair said that the school board will need to make tough decisions as inflation drives up costs.

 

For those unable to attend there, you can email K-S-D Budget at K-S-D Dot MB Dot Ca to receive updates about the budget.
