2) Brodbeck says school divisions have doubled their per student spending from 1999 to 2018. This is true. I looked at the 1997/98 budget and compared to 2017/18 figures. The 2017/18 per student spending was $13,287, while 97/98 was $6,158 (adjusted for inflation that's $8,911).
3) He blamed decades of uncontrolled spending and in particular singled out costs relating to divisional administration in particular. Using the adjusted for inflation 1997/98 dollars, divisional administration spending increased by 36%, which would be $21 million.
