The Holy Spirit Catholic School Division is holding three town hall meetings this month to give parents and guardians in Lethbridge, Alberta, a chance to help decide how local schools spend their money for the next year. These sessions will allow local families to speak directly with school leaders about what students need most in the classroom and where financial resources should go.
The first meeting will take place at Catholic Central High School Campus West on March 11, 2026. A second session will be held on March 18, 2026, at the Campus East location, followed by a final virtual meeting on March 23, 2026, for those who prefer to join from home.
During these meetings, school leaders will discuss the division-wide financial situation and new provincial funding for five specialized teams meant to help with complex needs in the classroom. This is a direct opportunity for parents to ask questions about how these new resources and other funds will be used to support students as the division continues to grow.
The feedback gathered from these sessions will help guide the division as it prepares for the opening of the new St. Kateri Elementary School in 2027. Superintendent Chantel Axani and the board of trustees say these open forums are an important way to make sure the school budget matches what the community wants for its children.
