Share your perspectives to help fine tune the final year of the current CBE Education Plan

The CBE transports 23,500 students on yellow school buses to and from school every day. For the 2019-20 school year, the user fee is $365 for students on general transportation yellow bus routes. Currently, the CBE pays $7.4 million more for transportation services than is provided through provincial funding and user fees. We cover the deficit with funds from our overall budget, meaning less money is available to support our schools and system. This deficit grows every year. The purpose of engaging stakeholders is to gather feedback from parents, students, staff and other stakeholders on how the CBE can provide a safe, reliable and cost-efficient program. Specifically, the 2020-21 budget gap must be closed.
