Sask. school boards concerned about losing independence
The Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) is expressing concern that school boards are losing their autonomy.
It comes after Education Minister Don Morgan said he wouldn’t approve the Regina Public Schools budget because of cuts to special needs programs.
The cuts were, in part, because of a drop in funding in the provincial budget.
It is that kind of interference that has the SSBA concerned about changes proposed to The Education Act, which would see government with more control over school division spending.
