Pelly Trail Gains From Provincial Education Funding Increase
The provincial budget boosts public school funding for 1999/2000 by 17.7 million, with Pelly Trail School division led by secretary treasurer Murray Bradshaw cautiously optimistic as enrolment projections help offset prior declines. Education Minister Linda MacIntosh announced the increase for the second straight year, though many divisions view 1998 as a tough year due to reassessment and lower enrolment. Affected divisions include rural areas and Brandon, with last year’s reassessment lifting assessed values by about 2.9 million and enrollment dropping by 41.5 students, contributing to a slight funding dip.
