Catholic School Board Approves Budget

Cuts have been made to computers, resources and program development
funding in order to balance the Northwest District Catholic School Board’s
books.
The Board has approved the 2007 budget, although $1.1-million
had to be taken out of reserves.
Director of Education Mary-Catherine Kelly says they felt the pinch
this year.
Kelly says the deficit is due in part to a decline in several
Provincial grants and a drop in enrolment.
Enrolement dropped by 80-students but staffing levels will remain the
same.
No major capital work is planned this year.
