Education changes coming despite status quo in Sask. budget
The provincial budget last week did not amalgamate the 28 school divisions as many had feared. But changes are still coming for the education sector.
The government is amending The Education Act, changing the governance and administrative structure of those school divisions to further ensure money is being spent wisely and in a more cooperative fashion.
“We don’t want to interfere with the day-to-day operations, but we may want to control governance costs, admin costs and, in Saskatoon and Regina, we are only having one busing contract,” Education Minister Don Morgan explained.
It may also mean a reduction in the number of trustees each school division has in the future.
