Summary

School bus fees in Calgary are skyrocketing next year—up to $500 per student as the CBE cites rising fuel, staffing, and shrinking reserves. While some trustees say it’s in line with other districts like Edmonton ($540) and Rockyview ($415), critics warn these costs could influence where schools are built. The Calgary Catholic School District is taking a different route, standardizing fees at $450—including specialized transport—and calling it fairer. The CBE’s chief superintendent is tasked with reviewing all transportation options and reporting back by December. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
