Provisions for a broader teachers pension spark debate
Mr Ansley argues that a more adequate teachers pension would reduce shortages and improve teacher quality. He cautions that funds for including teachers in a new provincial civil service plan must come from government or school boards, not teachers. A motion seeks 25 percent of natural resource income for education beyond existing grants. Henry Spencer counters that Alberta’s costs should be funded more by the province due to its mining and industrial base. Ansley notes his political tenure is uncertain and thanks trustees for cooperation amid hints of elections.
