KAP Responds To Education Announcement

Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) is responding to the province's major education announcement made Monday.

 

Manitoba has introduced legislation to replace most elected school boards with community school councils and a provincewide advisory board.

 

The plan also includes reducing funding from education property taxes, starting in 2023.

 

"It's frustrating in some sense, that we have had discussions and lobbied long and hard about this and it has been recognized and acknowledged that it is inequitable. To have it moved back to 2023, we would have liked to have seen that dealt with in the budget this year and steps moving forward," said KAP President Bill Campbell. "I'm not sure that postponing it is going to really bring about a solution to the equity. We would like to see clearer signals about the equitable funding."
