Parents of Windsor high school children enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program are offering to help pay to keep it from being eliminated due to public school budget cuts.

About 70 people gathered at a town hall meeting last week to voice their concerns and put together a proposal to try and save the program.

The Greater Essex County District School Board is facing a $6.4-million deficit for the next school year and has been told by the Ministry of Education to eliminate that deficit.

In 2024-25 , that amount is about $13,852 per student. That means if 50 students left the public board, the reduction in funding could be as much as $692,000 in one year . And cancelling the IB program will also mean lower enrolment in the future since it’s a draw for students, said Salinitri . [email protected].
