WATCH: Central Okanagan schools to face shortfall in September

KELOWNA, B.C. – The Central Okanagan School District is juggling financing as it deals with a $4 million shortfall for the fall.

While some schools have savings to dip into, they will have to come up with $70 per student that won’t be coming from the district.

Everything from MSP payment increase to a CUPE settlement must be paid for by the district, not the provincial government.

About 16 district employees who are retiring will not be replaced, according to Superintendent Hugh Gloster.
