Provincial block funding set for School District 59 at 32.95 million
Hendricks says the province fixed the 1990/91 block for School District 59 at 32.95 million, including 1.4 million for teachers' pensions. The upgrade reflects an 8.0 percent rise over 1989/90, largely due to a projected student population increase, with taxes for the block to be set by the province. Beverley C. Hendricks, chairperson, notes the need for clearer system details.
