The Calgary Board of Education says it's disappointed with the budget.

School boards are getting a $257-million increase, which will include a 4.4 per cent salary increase for teachers.

CBE Board Chair Pat Cochrane is concerned too much of the money is tied up in teachers' salaries.

At the same time, she's worried there isn't the money to hire more teachers.

"This increase is not even enough to fund the full impact of our salaried staff increases as promised by this government. We also have to factor in increases to teachers as dictated through grid increases based on length of service to the Board and salary growth to our other non-instructional staff. And, in the same budget document no less than six funding programs will be either completely eliminated or reduced by half."

The Calgary Catholic School Board is still going over the numbers.
