Transportation Survey
Foothills School Division must prioritize spending in the classroom. For the past 3 years, Transportation Services has averaged a $400,000 deficit. FSD has been supporting this deficit through instructional dollars, we believe this approach isn't in the best interest of our students and are actively seeking solutions to address this funding shortfall.
In addition, Alberta Education has recently announced a new student transportation-funding model based upon a task force report. This new model will be introduced in the 2022-23 or 2023-24 school year. We've been informed that this work will be completed by September 2022.
We are interested in hearing your thoughts on current transportation services and a possible transportation fee. It remains a priority of FSD to design a service that meets the unique needs of our Foothills School Division families.
