Please read my School Watch column about the recently-concluded, long-extended school closure process in Maple Ridge, BC - published in the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Times on Friday (Dec. 18th)
A week and a half ago, I reported on the public board of education meeting and the decision by trustees to close two elementary schools.
During the same meeting, the annual SOFI report was presented to school trustees. It wasn’t posted on the school district website the next day and I finally got around to reading it last Wednesday.
This document is an interesting catalogue of salaries and expenses for every employee earning more than $75,000 plus elected officials (trustees).
Trustees recorded a forty percent jump in expenses for the year beginning July 1st 2008 and ending June 30th 2009, compared to the previous year.
More on that later….
