Division responds to provincial government budget announcement

Lethbridge School Division is pleased the Government of Alberta is putting education as a top priority by maintaining education spending at $8.3 billion for the upcoming school year.
Although we do not know details and can’t comment on allocations to our Division specifically, we are encouraged the province sees the need for COVID-19 mitigation funding.
The Division also looks forward to learning more in regards to the additional $40 million allocated to the Learning Support Funding envelope.
Specifics of how the 2021/2022 budget will impact Lethbridge School Division will become more clear towards the end of March, when the Division expects to receive its funding profile from Alberta Education.
