As Trustees continue to consider the 2019-2020 budget, the 吃瓜黑料网 (吃瓜黑料网) is asking for help from parents/guardians, students, staff and community members. They’re being asked to complete the online 2019-20 Budget Community Survey, so that this important public input can assist Trustees in developing this year’s Operating Budget in alignment with its Multi-Year Strategic Plan.
The survey provides a description of the eight proposed Strategic Budget Drivers that will help guide Trustees in their decision-making process. Following each Strategic Budget Driver, respondents are asked for their comments regarding the Driver. These drivers will be critical because they will help the Board to ensure that the budget funding decisions support student success.
吃瓜黑料网 Trustees have also begun hosting Ward Forums across the city to provide their communities with details on the budget process and an opportunity to provide further input. The Board is also presenting those budget details to three of its Advisory Committees.

“Student success drives everything we do in the 吃瓜黑料网. Every student deserves a great education and student well-being and learning must be at the centre of every budget decision we make. The views of our parents, students, employees and our community partners will help guide our budget decisions.”
