What clearview public schools does

Clearview Public Schools is a rural public school division (Division No. 71) operating under the School Act of Alberta, delivering Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 education to approximately 2,200-2,390 students across east-central Alberta. The division operates 10 community schools in Big Valley, Botha, Brownfield, Byemoor, Castor (Gus Wetter School), Coronation, Donalda, Erskine, and Stettler, along with 10 Hutterite colony schools and outreach campuses at Castor, Coronation, and Wm. E. Hay. The division is staffed by approximately 346 dedicated employees and operates with a 2026-27 operating budget of $40.9 million. Service coverage spans the Town of Stettler, County of Stettler, and County of Paintearth, with student transportation services linking the regional communities.

The educational platform is built on a foundational K-12 curriculum aligned with Alberta Education standards, enhanced by structured programs in literacy (systematic phonics and phonemic awareness for Grades 1-9), numeracy (collaborative workshops and assessments), inclusive education (speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and inclusive consulting), and student engagement (three pillars: instruction, school culture, and student supports). Technology infrastructure includes a 1:1 Chromebook program covering all students in grades 3-12, refreshed on a five-year cycle, with a dedicated Technology Services team. Specialized offerings include Heartland Academy for flexible learning, dual credit partnerships with four post-secondary institutions (Red Deer Polytechnic, Olds College, Lakeland College, Northern Lakes College), student career engagement through CAREERS: Next Generation, Indigenous Education, and a Return to Service Bursary program.

The revenue model is government-funded: approximately 90%+ of funding flows from Alberta Education through provincial grants, supplemented by school fees (subject to the School Act and cost-recovery principles), transportation fees for bus services, and preschool program fees. The division is governed by an elected Board of seven trustees and is led by Superintendent Scot Leys. Recent operational disruptions include the October 2025 Alberta Teachers' Association strike which closed all schools, and Board of Trustees elections in October 2025 setting governance for the 2025-2029 term. The corporate entity is a government state entity, not a private or publicly traded company.
