The report, based on a survey of 120 schools boards across Canada, begins with an overview of provincial legislation, regulations, policy, and funding for heritage language instruction. A province-by-province look at local school board programs examines scheduling, teacher certification, professional development, community involvement, transportation, cultural components, and pupil, teacher and parent satisfaction with the programs. An outline of teacher training in heritage languages is included, as are sample policies and curriculum guidelines received from the boards polled.
This report focuses on the more innovative ways school boards across Canada have been cutting costs. The information in the report comes from a survey of 100 school boards in the ten provinces and the Northwest Territories. Cost-cutting methods used by survey respondents are reviewed under the following headings: policy and planning; purchasing, including bulk and group buying; sharing of resources such as school facilities, equipment, and transportation services; human resources, including staff reductions and using part-time staff; services and activities such as printing, insurance, and banking; school system facilities; energy conservation; maintenance; vandalism; and miscellaneous.
This report describes the current state of school board recruiting and retention practices in a sample of school boards. It provides tips to help boards tackle the issue of finding and keeping good teachers now and in the near future.

Consciente que la controverse posée par les programmes de langues d'origine se poursuit dans les années 90, l'Association canadienne d'éducation a envoyé un questionnaire à des conseils et commissions scolaires du Canada pour voir quels programmes ils offraient (s'ils en offraient), quelle partie de la grille-horaire ces programmes occupaient, qui les enseignait, qui payait le transport des élèves, et quels en étaient les avantages, les inconvénients, etc. La première partie de ce rapport brosse un tableau des lois, règlements, directives, programmes provinciaux et financement de l'enseignement des langues d'origine dans les écoles du Canada en 1990. La deuxième partie décrit les programmes des conseils et commissions scolaires, province par province. Et la dernière partie présente un aperçu des programmes de perfectionnement à l'intention du personnel enseignant, offerts par les facultés des sciences de l'éducation.
