我们很高兴政府的运营审核未提出任何实质性问题。从根本上说，我们的运营实践是健全的，只需对租赁成本的呈现做出一些调整。

在审核过程中，CBE行政部门和阿尔伯塔教育部工作人员、部委工作人员和董事们进行了许多会议和对话，以便更好地理解我们这个大型学校董事会所面临的挑战。我们非常乐意根据阿尔伯塔教育部的指示进行调整或改进。

我们了解到，部委要求我们改变我们教育中心租赁成本的呈现方式。我们乐意遵守这一要求，并与阿尔伯塔教育部工作人员合作，以澄清具体细节。CBE每年在经过审计的财务报表中公开披露了我们建筑租赁的全部成本。即使在这些成本的呈现方式发生变化的情况下，CBE的董事会和系统管理成本仍将低于阿尔伯塔教育部规定的3.6%的门槛。

与阿尔伯塔教育部共享的信息可以在我们的运营审核页找到。政府的最终报告可在他们的网站上找到。

​We are pleased that the government’s operational review didn’t raise any substantial issues. Ultimately our operational practices are sound, with one adjustment to the presentation of lease costs to make.

Throughout the review process, CBE administration and Alberta Education staff, ministry staff and the trustees have had many meetings and conversations to build understanding of the challenges our large school board faces. We are always happy to make adjustments or improvements as directed by Alberta Education.

We understand that the ministry is asking for a change in the way that our Education Centre lease costs are presented. We are happy to comply with this request and are working with Alberta Education staff to clarify the details. The CBE has publicly disclosed the full costs of our building lease annually in our audited financial statements. Even with the requested change in presentation of these costs, the CBE’s Board and System administration costs will be below the Alberta Education threshold of 3.6 per cent. 

Information shared with Alberta Education can be found on our Operational Review page. The government’s final report can be found on their website.
