On May 13th, 2004, Learning Minister Andrew Thomson announced the Government
of Saskatchewan’s Education Equity Initiative to renew our province’s
system of education to restore sustainability and equity for students and education
ratepayers. Three phases were outlined in this initiative:
- Establish a three-member Education
Equity Task Force to recommend new division boundaries based
on specified criteria;
- Direct Saskatchewan Learning to work with its stakeholders to develop
a new system of school
operating grants that is simpler, fairer and
more transparent; and
- Dedicate 30 per cent of new and ongoing compensation on equalization
received from natural resource revenues from Ottawa to property
tax relief, to shift the balance off education property tax.
