Rising school fees necessary to provide student services: Calgary Board of Education

The Calgary Board of Education is defending raising school fees, adding the money is necessary to run its schools.

Some parents recently told Global News some of the fees they pay are too high.

“Noon supervision fees is where it’s hurting everybody,” Calgary mother Brittany Moore said.

“I understand where they’re coming from — I mean, teachers got to eat too — but if it was less that would be a whole lot better because we’re not doing so hot at my house.”
