More about that new money

Chad says:

I see you put a comment from David Gleim about the comment from Dan Preston on your blog. I would like to have it clarified that this was directly from Andrew Thompson today at a meeting in Moose Jaw.

Also:

In response to David’s comment about the $1.2 & 1.8 Million, it’s because they are trying to make it look worse to the public. They hired a communications person in January (Prairie South did) specifically for spinning things to sound good. The $1.8 million 'loss' is actually from 2006-07 to 2007-08 fiscal years. This decrease has nothing at all to do with the budget. The per pupil grant has to do with the PRE budget 2006-07 compared to the POST budget 2006-07.


The per pupil grant INCREASE was from Andrew Thompsons lips himself today. I don't care what the boards try to say to the public, I don't believe a word they say any more, especially after what they said to me yesterday, and the proven lies they have said to the public. (See my media release re: amortizing buses)


Thank you very much.

Chad

To Balance not Bias.

You do not go the the funding manual for the grants received for last year.....you go the the school board office and get a copy of the 2005-06 audited financial statement...Like I did. In this will be a whole lot more information such as all the RM's who get grants in Lieu of taxes and more goodies. You might find it interesting reading. Try it.
