Advocacy Priorities

The Board of Trustees advocates to support public education and the best interests of students in the CBE. As part of this work, Trustees consult with constituents and share information with MLAs and government – as an​ individual​ board – and collectively through the Alberta School Boards Association. ​

​​​

 

Continued Investment in Public Education

The provincial budget for 2023-24 provides an additional $110 million for CBE students. This investment means we can hire the teachers, education assistants and other staff who are needed to support the students we have, and are expecting to have, over the next few years.

Continued investment must be sustained to ensure CBE students are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.

​​​​​​Building and Modernizing Schools​

We require new schools to support rapid enrolment growth in Calgary, and modernizations to ensure students are learning in up-to-date facilities close to home.  ​
