Forecast budget deficit not a concern for Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools
Despite a budget deficit of just over $400,000 forecast for the upcoming school year, officials with Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools are confident it will have minimal impact on students.
Secretary-Treasurer Rod Steeves says they have reserves available to offset the projected loss.
“We’re not really concerned with that,” says Steeves. “We decided at this point to cut in a couple of areas, and then we would go forward and hopefully be able to balance our budget in the following year.”
Steeves says there are two areas they’re not expecting to receive government funding for.
