District Education Councils want a streamlined budget process so they know what numbers they have to work with well in advance.
Rob Fowler, who chairs the Anglophone South District Education Council, tells CHSJ News that point will be made clear to Provincial Education Minister Jody Carr in meetings this weekend.
Fowler would like to see the budget for the next school year soon after the end of next month to make planning easier. The Anglophone South School District is still on budget according to the most up to date figures.
Fowler says another issue he will bring up is the age of school buildings in Saint John and the extra cost needed to maintain them properly.
