SD34The Abbotsford school district is inviting the public out to a meeting tonight where it will present the latest information on the 2015/2016 budget.
Last year the district was faced with a $5 million shortfall and was forced to draw on the $14.6 million surplus that had been stored up from previous years.
This year the district has to face the usual cost pressures from salary increases, plus hydro rates going up.
In addition, the province has mandated that districts across the province have to cut a combined $29 million from their budgets.
The budget info session will be from 7 to 8 at the board office.
