Trustees with the Waterloo Region District School Board have passed the budget for the 2023-24 school year.
But in doing so, they were “forced to make some very difficult decisions regarding staffing and resources,” chairperson Joanne Weston wrote in a letter to Ontario’s Minister of Education Stephen Lecce.
The board’s letter, dated June 27 and which has also been published on the school board’s website, has asked Lecce to review how school boards are currently being funded and “address some of the critical gaps” the board is facing.
Among the top concerns is transportation, Weston said in an interview with CBC News.
