At 22 staff, many media advise it is larger then

the major newsrooms; larger than Alberta
Education's communications department. This
included a full time photographer and
videographer.

Staff secondment for union activites is not broken

out. Statements indicate a 1.1 million increase in
wages due to the increase of seconded staff and
more staff for new school construction projects
