Stan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Finally, the children of taxpayers, can go to the school of choice of taxpayers, and use their taxes to support their school of choice..... in Saskatchewan... SOURCE - - - copy and paste - - - For the first time, the Saskatchewan government says it will give per-student grants to religion-based schools that are independent from the public school system. The provincial government announced Wednesday it will pay qualified independent schools 50 per cent of the per-student payment that public and Catholic schools get. Schools that could potentially qualify include the Islamic Academy of Saskatchewan located in Prelate, the Seventh Day Adventist Christian School in Saskatoon and Mother Theresa Middle School in Regina. However, in order to get the grants, the schools will have to follow a set of provincial criteria, including participating in Saskatchewan's student assessment program. The Education Ministry is also making changes to payments for "associate schools" — another class of religion-affiliated schools that are already supervised under the public system and follow the provincial curriculum. Under the change, the schools will now receive money directly from the province — at 80 per cent of the regular per-student rate. Until now, the province has paid the money to the school systems that the associate schools are part of. Although details weren't immediately available, it's expected that the change will generally mean more money for the associate schools Quote If you receive benefit to being here please help out with expenses. https://www.paypal.me/clubadventist Administrator of a few websites like https://adventistdating.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
