“We’re hearing that everything is on the table.”“There are no cuts. Education funding this year is up 6.7 per cent. That builds on $65 million that were provided last year, investment into that budget,” said Moe.“Boards only received a 0.7 per cent increase to operational funding. That’s not enough to cover inflationary costs or enrollments. And so what that means for boards is cuts,” she said.
“Our public education system is severely underfunded and requires an estimated $400 million to restore funding back to 2012 levels when Saskatchewan led the country in per student funding,” said Samantha Becotte, STF President. Duncan said Monday that additional money would likely come in November, which the SSBA and STF say will likely be too late to stave off cuts.“Since Minister Duncan declined to attend the rally and hear from students, parents and teachers, and also has not spent time in a classroom to understand his portfolio and its challenges, the STF would be pleased to offer him an opportunity to hear directly from Saskatchewan’s teachers about the realities in schools,” read the message.

Vintage Photos From Cleveland May Day DemonstrationsMay Day has brought all types of activity to Public Square throughout the years. The day started off as an ancient spring festival with dances and singing turned into the International Workers' Day in the late 19th century. Since then, communists, socialists and likeminded individuals have used the day as a day of protest and solidarity. Throughout the years in Cleveland, the day has led to peaceful demonstrations and not so peaceful ones. On this May 1st, as workers continue to fight for safety measures and improved working conditions, we look back at May Day's history in Cleveland. All photos via the Cleveland Memory Project.
