No, there hasn’t been any.
As you mentioned earlier, we still have to fight to be able to start offering programs in places where there are none. Currently, our board of directors is considering opening two programs, in Castlegar and Creston. We receive no funding from the province for the first year of a new program, as the funding formula is based on the previous year. Since this program did not exist last year, the students entering the system are not counted.
When anglophones want to open a new school, the students have already been counted, so they already have that funding.
