Transcript Slide 1

Introduction
• Welcome everyone to our first Budget meeting just for
SPC’s. Part of the school act states that districts must
consult with SPCs on staffing and resources, plus our
own policy 1030R1 provides for this as well. So the
purpose of this meeting is to increase understanding of
how we budget funds for the schools. This will also
allow better discussions when the Board sets its budget
priorities for the year.
• We are going to review some overall budget information
• Present details of school budgets
• We’ll then review how the school growth plans tie into
our budgets
• Talk about School Centered Leadership
Budget Process Goals
• Engage Schools and Communities in the
Process
• Ensure that the decisions are aligned with
the student achievement goals, both
district and school
• Make spending decisions that reflect
priorities for district and school programs
• Ensure that the decisions are clearly
communicated and periodically reviewed
Some Challenges
• The next few slides are meant to help you
understand some of the challenges we
face.

Project Surplus\Deficit
• At this time we are projecting a surplus of
892,000 that is slightly higher than the
planned surplus in the preliminary budget.
• This was a deliberate plan of the Board as
they were trying to stretch out the large
budget increase last year to allow what
had been added back into the budgets to
be maintained for more than one year
Budget Estimates for 06/07
• With enrolment of 8902 FTE our revenues would total $65,352,298
• Our expenditures for the year would be $ 65,609,958 This would leave a
balance of to be cut of $257,903 This is on a status quo basis and doesn’t
contemplate adjustments to class size [which should be cut in half as we put
in those extras half way through the year], increased costs, or reductions in
instructional staff for declining enrolments.
• One surprise is that last year the Ministry announced we would get 150
million extra in 05/06 and 20 million extra in the two year after that. Guess
what is being used to fund the extension of the class size adjustments that
were originally funded out of the strike savings
• This year the budget process will be more complicated as we first have to
remove all the effects of the strike and then the adjustments that the ministry
added back. We also can expect there will be a wage increase but at this
time we have no firm numbers and can only hope all increases will be
funded by the Ministry. In the future we expect any extra funding from the
Ministry to be targeted.

Detailed School budgets
• Handouts
School budgets and their tie into
School Growth Plan
• 3 main areas of funding.
• School Growth funds of $4 per student, learning
resources, and library supplies. Can also move
other general supplies funds.
• Look at goals like literacy and might want to add
funds into more books at the library
• If improved math is the goal may want more
math manipulative
• Examples
School Growth Funds
• These funds are set at $4 per student
• If the school doesn’t spend the funds, they
are put back into the pool. Our expectation
is for the funds to be spent each year.
• If a school does spend all of the funds they
can apply to the district for additional
support. They would need to develop a
plan and rationale for their project or idea
School Centered Leadership
• Following is some excerpts from a presentation
given by the Deputy Minister Emery Dosdall
• The object of his presentation was to develop a
shared understanding of SCL and how it allows
for effective local decisions to improve student
achievement
• Certainly an indication of how serious the
Ministry takes the role of SPCs and parents in
decision making around budgets
• Might be the future?
• We have the responsibility to improve
performance for all students
• Our achievement levels are high when
compared to other jurisdictions
• Pressure from parents and community for
even higher levels
• Pressure to keep up with other
jurisdictions as they improve
• A performance plateau will require
significant change to see continued
improvement
• Give schools more control over decision
making in order to increase student
achievement
• When decision are made closer to the
students the right decisions are made
• Effective schools are empowered schools
• Leadership for learning is required in every
school
• Offer to participate given to all school
districts, may provide some incentives for
early adopters

• Move decision making closer to the students
• Give schools greater authority and ability to
make decisions that impact the learning of their
students
• Requires effective and appropriate involvement
of staff parents and students
• They hope to pilot this idea in one or more
schools in 06/07 in each participating district
• Again. I included this as more as a discussion
point to see where we as a district would stand
on this issue
Budget Time lines
• We will get detailed numbers and instruction in
the middle of March
• I will ask the Finance Committee later this week
to help me set out the consultation meeting
schedule. In general terms I would like to see
one soon after spring break with all our
education partners and then one with the public
soon after that to allow the Board to receive feed
back to discuss changes at a later public
meeting
Priorities
• This would be a good time to review what in your
minds should be the priorities for the Board to
consider in setting next years budget.
• That would also be both things that need to be
maintained/ added or less emphasis placed on
them.
• We will shortly have some budget information to
go on the web and that will include directions on
how to provide input to the trustees on the
upcoming budget.
