Dear GCA Families,
On Saturday, we heard the
announcement
from Alberta Education, temporarily reducing education funding for transportation, educational assistants and substitute teachers while in-person classes are cancelled.
We know that an announcement like this can cause concern and anxiety, especially when you are not sure what the news means to your student who receives support from an EA.
While the funding cuts do affect GCA, we are looking at the impact on our budget as a whole, not necessarily applying the reduction to a specific group. We are working diligently to find ways to adjust to this reduction in funding.
Our Board of Directors and administration will discuss our entire budget in detail at a meeting on Thursday, and will provide an update after that point.
Thank you for keeping our GCA community in your prayers.
Soli Deo Gloria,
Stanford Hielema
GCA Head of School
