Further Cuts To Education Not Possible

Some questions being raised about what form further cuts will take in education after the first two per cent reduction caused such an outcry. 

Education Minister Jody Carr is speaking about cost containment. Rob Fowler, who chairs the District 8 Education Council, believes Carr has recognized that further 2 per cent cuts in the years ahead are not possible.

Fowler thinks there could be some innovative ways to save money such as amalgamations and the idea of sharing services between school districts. He doesn't think you'll be seeing further cuts in any of the front line operations.
