What's the market rate on leasing an inner city school that is sitting empty?

You guys can always email a charter school and ask then what they pay for the lease on a 50 year old building that they're responsible for maintenance.

Govt/CBE. Splitting hairs. One fully funds the other, so I consider them a general entity of incompetence.

As for the discount, it came from a schoolboard meeting.Forget which Charter it was, but they rented the school for $1.00.

Right before I was about to say... this sounds exactly like the kind of scapegoatism that would be cooked up by an elementary school principal and PTA Karens.

Wait, the problem with charter schools that the CBE has empty buildings?

Maybe if the CBE had more compelling programs, they could fill those buildings. The demand exists for schooling in those locations. That seems like the ultimate win-win for parents and taxpayers.

Change the provincial and municipal zoning laws to let CBE sell off these schools for development and then revenue will be generated.

Isn't that what you lefties bitched about incessantly about them doing in southern Alberta? Selling off land that was of literally zero value and cost the province money to look after.

It's been a while since I've been around, I forgot kert was the chick that thinks the solution to government caused meddling is more government, always, and doing anything that is slightly better than the status quo is immediately proof of crony corporate interests using said government to its advantage.

Well, I'm a lot less unbiased now about school funding and ideas like vouchers. My youngest has been accepted into foothills academy. Pretty happy about it, the public school system was failing that kid. Expensive, but still cheaper than a nanny. Probably never afford a nice car now, all my disposable income will be going to that school.
