Report to the Community 2010 Celebrating No Limits to Student Success No Limits Report to the Community 2010 Celebrating No Limits to Student Success No Limits What if there were no limits to students’ success — a world where every student completed school and their options were limitless? In 2010, EducationMatters engaged with donors, collaborated with the community and partnered with the Calgary Board of Education to find and build those limitless opportunities for students through supports in literacy, leadership, life transitions and healthy learning. 2 Our Vision … is a society that promotes and values excellence in public education. • We believe that a strong public education system is the cornerstone of a healthy, vibrant society. • We believe that the best public education happens when the community participates in its development. Our Mission … is to promote and facilitate public engagement with public education, to enhance and enrich the education offered to all students – enabling them to fully realize their potential and become valued and contributing citizens, locally and globally. Our Mandate • We enhance public education by providing grants to innovative programs that help students realize their potential and become productive global citizens. • We mobilize resources for innovative programs by offering donors a wide range of funds that demon- strate the commitment of Calgarians to innovation and excellence in public education. • We inspire passion for public education in Calgary by fostering a two-way dialogue about the role of public education in our society. “ Public education represents a unique period in your life as an opportunity (and obligation!) for a no-compromises deployment of your curiosity and a no-compromises pursuit of excellence in yourself. But it also represents, for our City and larger society, a matching opportunity to give in return, the no-compromises commitment to the learning infrastructure and teaching resources that these students deserve.” MARK SAAR , GOVERNOR 3 From the From the Chair Executive Director Chris Fong Barbara Burggraf Chair, Board of Governors Executive Director When I began my preparations to step down as the Chair It has taken countless hours, extraordinary energy and of the Board at the end of 2010, I took the opportunity endless patience to successfully launch Calgary’s first to reflect on what I learned during my six years of public education trust.

  • Calgary Board of Education – Final Report – May 2020
    Financial Cost Management and Governance Review of the Calgary Board of Education Pursuant to Section (70)(1) of the Education Act and Public Inquiries Act Prepared for the Minister of Education Government of Alberta May 11, 2020 Contents Executive Summary 2 About the Review 4 Approach and Methodology 7 Detailed Findings 8 Financial Cost Management and Governance Review 1 Executive Summary Alberta Education remains committed to ensuring school boards provide high-quality educational programming to their students and recognizes that many factors contribute to school board success. In order to ensure this commitment and pursuant to Sections 70(1) and 33(h) and (i) of the Education Act, Shane Troyer, Partner with Grant Thornton LLP and Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) was appointed to review the financial and administrative condition of the Calgary Board of Education (CBE). The scope of our review included Governance and Financial Cost Management with a focus on: • Board procedures, related governance practices and decision making • Effectiveness of financial management and internal control processes • Funding and allocation of resources including program delivery costing • Control of public information • Specific cost centres including head office lease options, plant operations and maintenance including student transportation costs, staffing levels and related compensation, procurement, and instructional program cost management. Overall, the findings are indicative of an organization that has undergone turmoil at the governance level with a focus on process over function and a short-term view of financial sustainability. This said, at the operational level of financial management we found many examples of strong financial processes and controls along with some areas for which we have provided recommendations for improvement.
