On September 1, the Regina Board of Education met. Items discussed at that meeting included the Budget for the upcoming year and a review of the 10-Year plan.
When the plan was unveiled in November 2007, parents and community members almost immediately started raising concerns about the enrollment projections and the cost estimates associated with the plan. These concerns were largely dismissed.
Well, guess what? It turns out, two years into the plan, that the cost over-runs now sit at over $900,000 and there are more children enrolled in many schools that the 10-year plan had projected. Turns out, mother (and father, and neighbour) really does know best.
This development coupled with the province's surprise decision this spring to take away the ability of School Board's to set their own mill rate puts the 10-year plan in question.
