学校介绍
阿尔伯塔省省政府多年来一直为K-12教育阶段提供额度较大的财力支持。在1994年以前,阿尔伯塔省公立学校和独立学校的校委会曾有法律权力征收地方财产税,作为维持当地教育的财力支持。1994年阿尔伯塔省政府取消了公立学校征税权力,而独立学校仍可继续征税。自从1994年以来,为k-12教育阶段提供资金的征税从未中断过。与此前不同的是,征税的税率是由省政府规定,税金由各地方的市政府征收,然后再集中送到省政府。相关的法律规定,所有征得的财产税必须全部用于k-12教育阶段的使用。省政府将根据一定准则,把征收的财产税分配给公立学区、独立学区和法语学区。This Board Policy Handbook has been developed to highlight and support the very important governance function of the Board. In addition to clearly defining the role of the Board, the role of the Superintendent and the delegation of authority from the Board to the Superintendent, it includes the following as policies:
Foundational statements which provide guidance and direction for all activities within the division;
Directions for how the Board itself is to function and how individual trustees are to conduct themselves; how Board committees and representatives are to function;
Statements as to how appeals and hearings will be conducted;
Non-delegable matters such as school closures and policy-making; and
Specific matters which the Board has chosen not to delegate to the Superintendent.
This Board Policy Handbook is intended to be supplemented by an Administrative Procedures Manual – the primary written document by which the Superintendent directs staff. The manual must be entirely consistent with this handbook.The development of two separate and distinct documents is meant to reinforce the distinction in this division between the Board’s responsibility to govern and the Superintendent’s executive or administrative duties.

学校历史Palliser History
The legal entity, Palliser Regional School Division No. 26, was created in 1995 through the consolidation of two parent school boards which represented the majority of the County of Vulcan and the entirety of the County of Lethbridge. Palliser's original geographic area stretches from just south of the City of Lethbridge to north of the Bow River on the outskirts of Calgary. With the addition of faith-based alternative programs, Palliser now serves students within the City of Calgary as well.Palliser serves about 7,200 students in 15 community schools; 10 Christian alternative schools, nine of which are in Calgary on seven campuses; two alternative programs for Low German-speaking Mennonite families; four outreach programs; 17 Hutterian colony schools; and a home schooling program.Palliser offers a broad range of programming from early learning programs (formerly known as preschools) through Grade 12. Some early learning and kindergarten programs at some sites may be operated by Palliser's private partners.Palliser's student population doubled from 2005-2006 to 2012-2013 as the division serves a growing number of students with diverse backgrounds and learning needs.
