Public Inquiry on Funding Formula for Public Education

That BCCPAC urge the provincial government to conduct a public inquiry on the funding formula for public education and also on all related regulations. The inquiry must focus on the impact that declining enrollment, the level of per-pupil allocation of funds, and the elimination of base infrastructure funding, has had on the ability of school districts to sustain the delivery of quality educational programs and services to children while also maintaining a balanced budget. A flexible funding formula that meets the varied needs of all school districts is required.
