Surveys

Lethbridge School Division hosted the annual Town Hall event on Tuesday Feb. 6, 2024. The purpose of Town Hall was to seek feedback to assist the Board of Trustees and the Division in planning for the future. Below, you will find the list of topics that helped guide the discussions at Town Hall. Now, we are asking for additional feedback through this online form.

You are welcome to respond to all questions in the survey or you can select which questions you would like to respond to. It is NOT mandatory to respond to every question.

Information from this survey and from the Town Hall session will be used by the Board of Trustees and administration to assist with identifying priorities and strategies for the 2024/2025 school year and beyond.

As always, the Survey Results area on the Community Engagement website will be the place to go to view the summary of the information gathered from this survey. The summary will be available on March 7, 2024. Thank you for taking the time to provide this valuable feedback!

Saturday, Feb. 17 is the deadline to complete the survey.

TOWN HALL 2024

Lethbridge School Division has begun preparation of the 2023/2024 Preliminary Budget. Approximately 91% of the Division’s total revenue comes from Alberta Education. Student enrolment is the most significant factor in determining the Division’s funding. 
Through this budget engagement tool, we are seeking input into the development on the instruction area of the budget. In 2022/2023 the instruction budget was approximately 72% of the Division’s total budget, which was approximately $136 million.
Using this tool, you will have the opportunity to provide input into the percentage of the instruction budget should be allocated to each area. Note that as you adjust the spending in one area, it will impact funds available in another area. For example, if a higher percentage is allocated to be spent on Educational Assistants than last year, you will need to reduce funds in another area. By allocating 0%, you will be completely excluding spending in this area, which may not be realistic due to operational, contractual or legislative requirements.
There is also an opportunity to provide other information or feedback at the end of the allocation tool.
Thank you for taking the time to provide information through the budget engagement tool. Information gathered will help inform budget decision making for the 2023/2024 based on stakeholder priorities as outlined in the results.
