Substitute Teaching Expenses Highlight Agassiz Division Issue
In 1970 the Agassiz School Division spent 30950 dollars on substitute salaries drawn from local special levy as no government grants exist. This amount could have funded six additional Class I teachers. The problem is not unique to Agassiz, affecting all Manitoba divisions and prompting calls for better student and staff health practices to reduce illness related absences. The division praises its substitute staff while urging awareness of financial and operational challenges across divisions.
