Abstract
This policy study explores origins of part 6.1 of Bill 34 (School Amendment Act, 2002) and its impacts on the institutional behaviour of two public school districts in British Columbia. Part 6.1 permits school districts to raise funds through for-profit school district business companies (SDBC). The analysis found several consequences of the policy: lack of accountability of SDBCs, increased fiscal inequity among school districts, and greater responsiveness of school districts to the needs of a globally rather than locally situated community of students.
Résumé
Cette étude est une analyse critique qui examine l’origine de la section 6.1 des modifications apportées à la loi scolaire en 2002 (School Amendment Act, 2002) et ses répercussions sur la culture organisationnelle de deux conseils scolaires en Colombie Britannique. La section 6.1 permet aux conseils scolaires de créer des organismes à but lucratif dans le but de générer une partie du financement de leurs opérations. L’analyse démontre plusieurs conséquences de cette politique : la faiblesse de l’imputabilité de ces organismes à but lucratif; la diminution de l’équité entre les conseils scolaires en matière de financement; et la propension des conseils scolaires à s’intéresser davantage aux besoins de diverses clientèles internationales au détriment des clientèles locales.
