Public School Board facing big budget cuts

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is looking at a million dollar hit to its budget next year.

Last week, the provincial government outlined exactly much much each school board would be getting for the 2012/2013 school year.

Superintendant of Business Dean Carrie says its going to be a challenge to balance their budget this year.

If there is a bright spot, its in the all-day everyday kindergarten program.

The public school board will be getting an extra 800 thousand dollars next year to expand the all day JK and SK programs in the region.
