Projections for September

The CBE has provided administration with the initial projections for the upcoming 2011-2012 school year. While these numbers are preliminary, historically they have been fairly accurate. In an attempt to be prepared, and transparent, we have started to plan for some possible scenarios at Haultain Memorial. Please know that these “plans” are extremely tentative, and a few extra (or fewer) students in one grade can have a significant impact on the entire plan. Please also know that recent announcements, made by the Province of Alberta, have put considerable strain on the Calgary Board of Education’s ability to maintain all levels of service, small class sizes, and infrastructure maintenance and upgrading. By providing our projections, and a few possible scenarios, we are demonstrating the complexities involved in planning for next year, and inviting feedback and alternative suggestions from readers. No final decisions will be made concerning class configurations until the summer, and even then, the situation could change, with moves or new registrations, in September.

  1. Thanks for posting this. I know that these plans are tentative and can change. But I would like to say that the second scenario, where there is no split classes is the best in my opinion. I'm not sure if my opinion has any sway, but I'm all for no split classes.
