Agreement Between Province And Francophone Schools

After months of bickering, the Provincial Education Department and School District 1 which includes Samuel de Champlain have reached a funding agreement.

The Alward Government announcing the agreement covers three main points......a balanced budget, funding that will reflect the growth in student enrollment and new funding for immigrant students.

The school district will receive an additional 600 thousand dollars in provincial money along with 600 dollars for each immigrant student.

Provincial Education Minister Jody Carr points out the francophone school district has never received additional funding for students from other countries even though anglophone school districts have.
