Education funding short of school needs raises concerns
Mrs. Leslie responded to Education Minister Len Derkach’s 4.6 percent funding increase for 1990-01, noting CPI in Winnipeg was 4.7 percent in 1989. Trustees welcome grants for transportation and special needs but say block grants haven’t kept pace with inflation, harming large suburban divisions. Uncertainty from assessment reform and unresolved Education Support Levy complicate budgeting and local tax impact.
