District 8 officials working hard to keep the impact of cost-cutting away from the classroom.
The Provincial government is looking for 1 per cent savings this year and additional 2 per cent for 2011/2012 school year.
Superintendent Susan Tipper tells CHSJ News they are looking at every way possible to find savings, everything from photocopying practices to turning down the heat at night. Tipper adds the cost saving measures are being spread throughout the system so no particular department feels the crunch more than another.
Provincial Education Minister Jody Carr is asking the Districts not to fill existing vacancies but that does not mean teachers.
