2026-2027 Budget
The CBE’s
2026-2027 budget demonstrates a commitment to student achievement, equity and well-being through effective budget management, financial planning and transparency. It provides a clear roadmap for a sustainable financial future.
Budget development is a multi-step process. In February 2026, the Government of Alberta announced its 2026 budget and in March the CBE received its
funding profile which provides a detailed breakdown of provincial funding specifically for the school district.
