Hey there, time traveller!

A change in the system for early budget feedback has been introduced this year at Mountain View School Division, moving the process from a public forum to an online survey.
The school division put out a news release on Tuesday noting that the public forum event to solicit feedback early in the budgeting process has been stopped this year. In its place, the division opened an online survey to gather responses from interested parties.
“Historically, Mountain View School Division has held a public forum where people could attend and participate online or in person,” reads the school division’s notice. “Due to low attendance at these events, the division will only seek input via an online survey this year. This is on a trial basis and will be reviewed again next year.”
The changes come to the early phases of the budgeting process. In the new year, the school division still plans to have a public forum for feedback and budget discussions once more information is known from the province.
“In January, the Board will begin their more detailed discussions in anticipation of the provincial funding announcement being released by the end of the month. Once the amount being provincially funded is known, the discussions continue. The public is then informed through another public budget forum of what is included in the draft budget and provided an opportunity to supply feedback. Special levies are due to municipalities by March 15th and the budget is approved and submitted to the Province by March 31st.”
The division emphasized that those interested in sharing feedback should stay tuned on social media and the division website to ensure they get that chance to offer input.
