School Division: Education Minister Donna Harpauer

School Divisions Dept: Under the new model, decreases to a school division's tax revenue will be offset by provincial funding. If a school division's tax revenue increases, its grant funding will decrease accordingly, according to CTV. Funding for school divisions will increase five per cent to $1.74 billion. That includes $10 million in transition funding to mitigate the financial impact of the new funding model on school divisions and the Saskatchewan government unveiled details of a new funding formula for education in the provincial budget Wednesday. Education Minister Donna Harpauer says the new model will ensure school division funding is equitable across the province. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
