Riverside School Board’s Approach to the MEQ Recovery Plan

As you may have seen in the media and on different social media platforms from the Ministry of Education (MEQ), the government must recover $200 million for the 2024 fiscal year. For Riverside School Board (RSB), this means adjusting our operations to recover approximately $1.18 million.

After a thorough and strategic review, we have safeguarded all essential services for our students and staff, ensuring they remain fully intact while optimizing efficiency and sustainability. Our priority has always been to support student success without compromise.

Please be assured that RSB is making every effort to minimize the impact on vital services. We are also engaged in ongoing discussions regarding future budgets, as we anticipate significant reductions to our operational budget for the next school year.

We will keep you informed as the situation evolves, and please know that our students and staff remain our top priority.
