School Divisions can encourage their school councils to engage in professional development and learning opportunities utilizing the Alberta School Council Engagement (ASCE) grant. The government funds each school council with $500 to support and strengthen engagement with parents.
ASCA School Council Learning Opportunities are ASCE grant eligible.
School Divisions often want to coordinate learning for their School Councils (CoSCs, etc.), or multiple School Councils wish to “pool” their ASCE Grant funding to save money and learn together. ASCA offers discountedGROUP pricing, based on the number of School Councils attending the Learning Opportunity.
Rather than paying $400 or $500 each (plus GST), School Councils or School Divisions choosing this option will enjoy the same quality learning at a lower cost with the added benefit of networking and learning from each other as well!
Foundation (Level 1) and Enhancement (Level 2) GROUP pricing Learning Opportunities fees are aligned with the ASCE Grant available to each School Council and offer a substantial discount when a significant majority of school councils in a school division participate. ASCA does not restrict the number or roles of individuals who can attend. Capacity may be limited by a school division for an in-person Learning Opportunity (travel, etc. expenses billed separately), depending on the venue space.
