The Calgary Catholic School District says budget challenges have forced it to cut new enrolment for two of its specialized programs, including one that supports students with a range of learning disabilities.Financial concerns have forced the Calgary Catholic School District to shut down intakes for two of its specialized learning programs.
"We need to triage student learning complexities and create congregated options for students with very complex needs for the next school year," the spokesperson said. The implications of that growth, and what it might mean for the quality of education, is a concern for Mary Rose Argonza-Oberhoffner, who said her oldest daughter excelled in the congregated gifted program.
"It's really quite upsetting for us to hear that these programs aren't going to be continuing on," she said. A $2.1-billion commitment over the next three years should help build more schools in Calgary and the rest of the province, the government said. It's also allotting $1.2 billion in new funding over the next three years to help hire more teachers to try to keep up with demand.
