Parent & Public SD57 Budget Input for 2024/2025 School Year
2024-04-18 01:00 - 2024-05-03 10:00 | British Columbia
The Board of Education is inviting feedback from the public regarding 2024/2025 budget priorities in order to inform the budget process. The 2024/25 Annual Budget is prepared over several months and completed in June. The district is projected to receive $199 million in revenue of which 95% comes from the Provincial Government. Of the revenue received, currently 85% is spent on operating, administering and maintaining the schools and district facilities. There is currently an operating budget shortfall of approximately $2 million dollars. The Board is therefore considering reductions to expenses for its submission of a balanced budget to the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
The Board’s focus is to ensure available resources support the Strategic Plan and student success. Further information on the 2024/25 draft budget is available here.
2024/2025 Annual Budget feedback may be submitted in the following ways:
