Living Sky reducing its home-schooling funding
Living Sky School Division has reduced funding for its home-based education program this year, to meet its ongoing budgetary demands as a result of the province’s overall funding cutbacks.
Superintendent of Learning Jim Shevchuk said the division anticipates it will save about $15,000 by slightly reducing funding provided to parents to use for home-schooling their children.
“We like to try to support the students as best we can,” Shevchuk said. “But [in] the allotment of dollars that we would provide for their program there are fewer dollars this year.”
He said these changes are related only to Living Sky‘s specific home-schooling program, and are not province-wide.
