Regina alternative school asking for support amid financial troubles [Video]

The Cornwall Alternative School is currently running a fundraising campaign to keep their programming in operation.

Due to a loss in funding, the institution has had to make various cuts to stay within its budget.

Bryan Rice, the principal and CEO of Cornwall Alternative School said this year they’ve been forced to cut the school outreach position in order to stay above water.

“We dropped it down to two counselors and myself that are now sharing the role of doing the outreach and connecting with students,” Rice explained.

Since 1972, Cornwall Alternative School has been offering a range of supports to students to get them back in good academic standing and ready for graduation.

Each student attending has been referred to the school.
