Trustees with the Rainy River District School Board have approved the budget for the next school year.Board chair Mike Lewis says he's happy with the balanced budget coming in at just over $48-million.
"We're really pleased with the budget," says Lewis. "We we're able to keep things that we want that will improve things in the classroom, improve things for the teachers. We didn't have to cut those kind of programs that this board has worked hard for years to put in place but we were able to do it only by bringing money out of reserves."
The budget also reflects a projected enrolment decrease of 3.5 per cent and changes in Ministry of Education funding that's almost $1.8 million higher.
