The Burden of Education Costs Editorial Republished
The passage discusses high education costs, budget gaps, and tax impacts on The Pas and Manitoba municipalities. It notes a 100 mill residential and 125 mill commercial levy, a $300,000 budget cut by the School Board, and questions about government aid and the role of elected officials in funding education.
Poor Rewards For Good Intentions in Manitoba Education
The piece argues the provincial government should bear more education costs and hints at tighter control and province wide teacher salary talks. It criticizes The Pas School Board for lacking committee review, staff input, and proactive leadership while noting education funding relies on a compulsory foundation levy plus a rising annual special levy. The author links parent interest to taxes and warns of October elections and possible School Board abolition.
