The Brief - May 28, 2025

The May 28 edition of "The Brief" offers a dynamic look at how Canadian Rockies Public Schools' Board of Trustees is advancing its priorities across the Bow Valley. Highlights include a joyful Spotlight on Learning led by CRPS music educators, who showcased how rhythm, coding, and performance are inspiring students across all grade levels. Trustees also approved the 2025–2029 Four Year Education Plan - Year 1, a community-shaped roadmap built on equity, well-being, and real-world learning. The 2025/26 operational budget was passed with full transparency, reflecting a deliberate deficit to protect classroom supports despite funding shortfalls. CRPS also celebrated the green light for a new EcoTourism collegiate stream at Banff Community High School and secured $2.5 million in provincial support for its staff housing initiative. Meanwhile, the call went out for new host families to welcome international students this fall.
