Candidates were asked if they were faced with making cuts what would they do?
This week the Prince George Citizen will be posting series of questions asked of the 13 candidates running as trustees for School District No. 57 .
Cory Antrim I would refuse to make any more cuts to equipment, supplies, curriculum and non-curriculum items, or anything that directly affects our students. I would not be ok being a part of what has been decades of cuts to our public education system. I want to see things differently and find out what has not been working. I would look into other districts in our province and see if we can adopt any practices that progress their school system vs detract from it.
Craig Brennan Faced with additional costs, and necessary cuts, my priority is to keep cuts away from classrooms and the supports they require. Specifically, this includes school staffing levels and targeted student support. Student learning happens in school programs. Budget shortfalls must be addressed elsewhere in the operation. SD57 has unique funding challenges owing to geographic range and broad community diversity.
Shar McCrory We should not have to cut any further as the budget for next year is approved. The offset was from reserved funds and if we had to cut more, we would need to look at using reserve funds, with the intent to cut as far away from funds that directly impact students, programs, staff or schools.
