Mountain View School Division plans to tighten their budget while not significantly reducing services.
The division is dealing with declining enrolment and a decrease in provincial funding.
MVSD Superintendent CEO, Donna Davidson says this year the board had enough wiggle room to not require many cuts.
“We shouldn’t see too much change as a result of the budget reduction. We’ll see a slight change in internal supports or supports to classrooms. Not in the area of classrooms. We should see a very comparable student-teacher ratio across the division. We should see continued support around our five strategic goals which are literacy, numeracy, career education, mental health and safe and caring schools.”
The division is looking at a special levy of 1.98 percent which means a reduction in the mill rate.
