Representatives from several school divisions met with Provincial Learning Minister Deb Higgins earlier this week to discuss concerns in the rural divisions.

According to Audrey Trombley, the Board Chair for the South East Cornerstone School Division, the agenda included education funding in rural Saskatchewan, and the need for increased capital funding to support facilities maintenance, renewal, and construction.

 

It was the group's request that the department review changes to the operating grant structure to rural boards, and assess the effectiveness of those changes.
