The Calgary Board of Education went head to head with another school division in court Friday and lost.
The CBE accused the Palliser Region of overstepping its authority by taking the two Calgary area schools into its fold.
The case revolves around Calgary’s Heritage Christian and Menno Simons Christian School.
Some time ago they asked to become alternate program schools with the CBE. The Board rejected the schools because they teach religion which goes against its policy.
The Palliser Region, based in Lethbridge, welcomed them both.
Lawyers for Palliser argued the move was done with the assistance and approval of the Department of Education and falls under the School Act.
CBE lawyers say Palliser has no right to run schools outside its jurisdiction.
The decision will have a big impact on the schools and the parents of the children who attend them.
When Heritage and Menno Simons were private schools, they were funded sixty percent by the Province. Forty percent had to be made up by constantly rising fees.
Now as public schools with alternate programming under Palliser they qualify for full funding. The fees parents pay will be significantly less.
The children are assured of receiving a Christian education but they will also benefit from stable funding and an association with a school board that really wants them under their wing.
Classes at both schools starts Tuesday morning.
