Budget pressures loom for SD 59 amid funding changes
SD 59 faces significant budget challenges next year and beyond as enrolment declines tighten revenue. The district projects about 38 million dollars in funding this year but could lose at least 250 thousand next year. A 673 thousand transition grant may disappear, while costs rise from un funded salary increases, benefits, and instructional materials. The district is reviewing programs and staffing to find savings and improve efficiency while preserving services for students.

LP and IWA Near Impasse at Louisiana Pacific Plant
Talks between Louisiana Pacific and IWA Local 1 424 over the Dawson Creek oriented strand board plant stalled once more last week. The union cited pension plan guarantees as the sticking point while indicating IWA Canada backs a company plan for future employees. Union leaders said a broad set of issues, including potential pay increases and catch-up pay for lower paid workers, remains on the table.
