Fall Budget Update

Additional $107 Million Funding / Fall Budget Update

School jurisdictions are required to submit a Fall Budget Update to Alberta Education every year.  The Fall Budget Update builds on the spring budget and reflects the September enrolments and other significant funding changes since the spring budget.

On October 12, 2011, the Government of Alberta provided school jurisdictions with an additional $107 million as part of the 2011/2012 Budget.

School jurisdictions were asked to provide details as to how they plan to spend the additional funding.  The following table is a summary of the resources and staffing implemented with the additional funding.

Details on each jurisdiction's Fall Budget Update are available by clicking on the respective jurisdiction name below.  More details are available by visiting the individual school jurisdiction's website via http://www.education.alberta.ca/apps/schoolsdir/.
