Education Minister Wayne Ewasko has announced funding for the Manitoba School system will increase to 120 million dollars in the upcoming school year.  That includes a 43 million dollar increase in annual funding and additional one time funding of 77 million to address incremental wage costs and other pressures. The annual funding includes an increase of 18 million for public schools, 2.2 million for independent schools and a 23.2 million dollar increase to the Property Tax Offset Grant. 

According to the government release Flin Flon School Division receives 10 million dollars in funding.  If you add in the property offset grant and wage assistance it comes to 10.5 million.

The Division is reviewing all the numbers in the announcement to determine what the effect will be on their budget figures.
