​​​​​​卡尔加里教育委员会在应对前所未有的增长之年中艰难前行 — 正如在2022-23年度财务结果和经审查的财务报表中详细描述的那样，该报表已在董事会于11月28日举行的公开董事会会议上获得批准。尽管面临教育格局的不断变化，其中有显著的人数增长，但CBE成功地管理了其财务状况，实现了140万美元的经营盈余，占总支出的不到千分之一。相对于CBE的137亿美元预算来说，轻微的盈余反映了对学生需求的即时投资。董事会主席Laura Hack对管理层在支持超过131,000名学生（创纪录的高水平）的成功所做的努力表示赞赏。更高的入学人数意味着需要更多的员工和支持资源，学校已接近容量极限或者出现了超员现象，而且需要更多的学生乘坐交通工具。Hack说：“卡尔加里教育委员会在应对快速增长的复杂情况方面表现出非凡的技能。”她表示：“该组织一直致力于提供卓越的教育机会，并高效地管理资源。”在财务方面，这一年度的特点是几项储备分配的发展。

经营储备略微增加至3,790万美元 —— 仍然远低于阿尔伯塔教育部规定的范围。此外，资本储备增加到7900万美元，得益于出售了三栋建筑物，这三栋建筑物已被认为已接近其使用寿命的终点：蒙哥马利学校、塔克西多公园学校和贝内特子爵高中。展望未来，CBE仍致力于解决迅速扩大的学生群体的教育需求。《2024-2027年三年校园资本计划》概述了CBE未来发展的需求，并与该市的人口增长预测相一致。

除了2022-23年度的财务结果和经审查的财务报表外，董事会还审查了《年度教育成果报告（AERR）》，该报告突显了过去一学年取得的教育成就。这些文件一起突出了CBE对公共资源的谨慎管理承诺，以及该组织如何利用这些资源造福学生及其学习。

审核后的财务报表将于11月30日之前提交给阿尔伯塔教育部。

​​​​​​The Calgary Board of Education has navigated a year of unprecedented growth — as detailed in the 2022-23 Financial Results and Audited Financial Statements approved by the Board of Trustees Nov. 28 at its public board meeting.

Despite facing an evolving educational landscape marked by significant enrolment growth, the CBE successfully managed its finances, posting an operating surplus of $1.4 million or less than one-tenth of one per cent of total spending. The slight surplus, relative to the CBE’s $1.37 billion budget, reflects an immediate investment in student needs. Laura Hack, Chair of the Board of Trustees, commended Administration’s efforts in supporting the success of more than 131,000 students — a record high. Higher enrolment means more staff and supporting resources are required, schools are reaching capacity or are being overflowed, and more students require transportation. “The Calgary Board of Education has shown exceptional skill in navigating the complexities of rapid growth,” said Hack. “The organization continues to demonstrate a strong focus on providing excellent educational opportunities while efficiently managing resources.” Financially, the year was marked by several developments in reserve allocations.

Operating reserves saw a slight increase to $37.9 million — remaining well within the Alberta Education-mandated range. Additionally, capital reserves grew to $79 million, bolstered by the sale of three buildings, which were deemed to be at the end of their functional lifespan: Montgomery School, Tuxedo Park School, and Viscount Bennett High School. Looking ahead, the CBE remains committed to addressing the educational needs of a rapidly expanding student population. The Three-Year School Capital Plan 2024-2027​ outlines the CBE’s need for future development, aligning with the city's demographic growth projections.

Alongside the 2022-23 financial results and audited financial statements, the Board of Trustees also reviewed the Annual Education Results Report (AERR)​, which highlights educational achievements over the past school year. Together, these documents underscore the CBE’s commitment to prudent stewardship of the public resources entrusted to it and how the organization used those resources to benefit students and their learning.

The audited financial statements will be submitted to Alberta Education by the Nov. 30 deadline.
