​The 2019/2020 Budget questionnaire closed on Tuesday, March 19, 2019. ​  We thank all survey respondents for providing input. Results will be shared after the April 17 Board meeting.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Parents/guardians, students, staff and community members are invited to provide input on the 2019/2020 Budget​

The Halton District School Board strives always to support students to explore and enhance their potential, and to create a safe, healthy and engaging learning and working environment for all. The coming year, however, may prove a challenging one. 

Accordingly, and in preparation for the 2019/2020 Budget, the Halton District School Board (the Board) invites parents/guardians, students, staff and community members to provide input into the budget development process.

In the 2019-20 Education Funding Guide, released as part of the Education Funding Consultation, the Ministry of Education shared its commitment to make more efficient and effective use of taxpayer dollars and focus on achieving four percent (4%) savings overall. While the extent of this reduction on the education sector is not yet known, the Board will review how it meets its commitments to students, staff and the community and align with the provincial government’s mandate. In anticipation of the release of the Grants for Student Needs (GSN) at the end of March, the Board would like to hear from parents/guardians, students, staff and community members on areas of priority and potential ideas for efficiencies and savings.

The budget development process aligns the allocation of resources to the strategic priorities identified in the Multi-Year Plan 2016-2020  and the targets incorporated in the annual Operating Plan. Following an assessment of system priorities and areas for growth, Administrative Council developed targets to measure the success of the goals in the Multi-Year Plan. These targets were incorporated into the 2018/2019 Operational Plan and will be updated/revised to continue into the 2019/2020 school year.

Below is a snapshot of the 2018/2019 year. For details on last year's budget, visit this p​age​.
