​以下是由董事会主席乔伊·鲍恩-埃尔代表董事会于2017年6月9日发布的声明。

卡尔加里教育局欢迎教育部长对我们的系统进行运营审查，包括我们的交通计划。

CBE对我们健全的财务实践和预算历史充满信心。我们致力于全面透明。我们每月、每季度和每年向教育部提交所有必需的财务信息。我们继续接受干净的审计，显示我们的财务结果完全符合法律、法规和加拿大会计准则。

CBE对我们的交通部门和计划进行了两次独立审查。我们的2017-18年度交通计划是根据初步技术审查的发现、去年家庭对我们交通参与的反馈以及《第1号法案》的指导而制定的。

我们的2017-18年度预算已发布，并将在6月13日的董事会公共会议上进行讨论。

我们希望通过这次审查，教育部长能更好地了解这样一个庞大而多元化的学校系统中存在的运营复杂性和我们所面临的财务限制。我们非常自豪地看到每天在整个系统中工作的员工确保学生始终是我们工作的重心。

​The following is a statement from Chair Joy Bowen-Eyre on behalf of the Board of Trustees issued on June 9, 2017.

The Calgary Board of Education welcomes an operational review of our system, including our transportation plans, by the Minister of Education.

The CBE is confident in our sound financial practices and budget history. We are committed to being fully transparent. We submit all required financial information to the Ministry monthly, quarterly and annually. We continue to receive clean audits that show our financial results are fully compliant with legislation, regulation and Canadian accounting standards.

The CBE has undertaken two independent reviews of our transportation department and plans. Our 2017-18 transportation plan has been guided by the findings of the initial technical review, what we heard from our families last year during our transportation engagement, and the direction provided in Bill 1.

Our 2017-18 budget has been posted and will be discussed at the June 13 public meeting of the Board of Trustees.

We hope that through this review, the Minister will gain a better understanding of the operational complexities that exist within such a large and diverse school system and the financial constraints under which we operate. We are extremely proud of the work staff do each day across the system to ensure students are at the forefront of everything we do.
