Attention All Staff Reps:
Need Release for Consultation Meetings?

News

Budget Announcement Not Rosy

According to preliminary details reported in the media as of
March 3, 2010, provincial funding announcements for public education will not solve the funding crisis in public education looming next year:


Budget Item


Details

Sufficient to Cover Current/Projected Shortfalls?

Facilities Grant

Partially restored (one grant split over this year and next)

NO

Additional $150 million added to public education operating budget over the next three years (some of this money has been announced previously); the money is primarily earmarked for salary increases

The system currently requires an additional $300 million this year alone; $150 million over the next three years will exacerbate funding difficulties

 

NO

Total operating grant for next year will be $4.828 billion, up 2.8 percent from this year

Independent school funding will rise by a greater amount; that is, 3.7%

 

NO

Funding for Full Day Kindergarten increased by $22 million three years from now

The $22 million will be added to the previously announced $44 million for 2010-11 and $109 million for 2011-12

 

UNKNOWN

A Note on Budget Presentations to Coquitlam Trustees:  Please contact Kathleen at the CTA office if you or a group of your colleagues would like to present to trustees on the budget.  Presentation date opportunities are Tuesday, March 23, 7:00 p.m.; Tuesday, April 6, 7:00 p.m.; Tuesday, and April 13, 7:30 p.m.  (All meetings take place at Winslow Centre Gallery Room).
