CBE balances tough 2013-14 budget
The Calgary Board of Education will balance its 2013-14 budget in spite of a $62-million shortfall.
The operating budget was presented to the Board of Trustees on May 7. A full debate of the budget will happen on May 28.
While the operating budget directs as much funding as possible to classrooms, it will be impossible to maintain the level of service in many areas of the organization. Severe cuts to administration were required.
Community input sought
Parents and the public are invited to provide feedback on the Calgary Board of Education’s 2013-14 operating budget.
We invite the public to submit ideas online up to May 14, after which time a summary of findings will be released.
An open house will be held at the CBE Education Centre on May 21. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions about our 2013-14 operating budget.
On that same date, the Calgary Association of Parent and School Councils (CAPSC) meets and there will be an opportunity to share ideas with the Board of Trustees and Administration.

New schools benefit CBE students
