Support of Small School Jurisdictions in Alberta.

Jefferson, Anne L.

Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v31 n1 p35-40 Mar 1985

Compensating effects of Alberta's Small School Jurisdiction Grant (SSJG) were examined. Districts with 1,000-1,499 students had lowest per-pupil cost; districts with 500-999 had highest. Greatest expenses were salaries and utilities. SSJG funds perpetuated small school jurisdictions--but did not encourage their establishment--and generally seemed underfunded for maintenance/operation of facilities. (DC)
