Absolutely, inflation is a reality in our school board. Time and again, we have had to explain to the provincial government how much our transportation costs had increased due to inflation. We had to show them repeatedly to make them understand, when everyone is experiencing this inflation. So, it’s something that concerns us a lot.
It also affects the OLEP, the official languages in education program. Inflation is driving up costs, but the funding we receive under the OLEP hasn’t increased at the same rate as inflation.
We feel the effects of inflation twice rather than once.
