Ken Noster: Board Chair and Court Documents

ken noster: Ken Noster, the board chair and administrator of Wisdom, was paid nearly 300,000 a year, more than the superintendents of the vast majority of Alberta school districts, according to Rabble. His pay totalled 863,882 over three years, court documents showed. And the nail on which their sweater snagged It was the revelation this week that the two extended families running the Trinity Christian School Association and the Wisdom Home Schooling Society, which directly and indirectly receive per-student public funding from the province, took personal pay of almost 3 million over three years. His wife Marlane Noster and several of their children brought in roughly another 1 million in salaries over the same period. Market fundamentalist parties like the Wildrose Opposition and the Progressive Conservative rump in the Legislature love private schools, charter schools, home schools or any other dubious venture in pedagogy on the principle they can be used to undermine public education and weaken teachers unions. Meanwhile, Richard Schienbein, principal of Trinity Christian School in Cold Lake, which one news report said currently has 13 students, was paid 322,813 over the three years, with several members of his family being compensated to the tune of 1.06 million over the same period, some for unspecified duties.
