Preparations for the 2014/15 Budget are now underway. The Board of Education is required to submit a balanced budget to the Ministry of Education no later than June 30, 2014. The Board typically approves the budget at its Public Board Meeting in May of each year.
The Board welcomes input from the community on its budget priorities for the coming school year. In recent years, budget priorities have focused on addressing supports for students with special needs, class size and composition, and leadership and instructional support.
No additional funding is anticipated for the 2014/15 fiscal year from the Ministry of Education. To address increased costs and ensure a balanced budget, the North Vancouver School District will continue its efforts to identify and capture efficiencies and cost savings (e.g., Summer School review; shared services; energy efficiencies, etc.). We will also continue efforts to increase revenues where possible (e.g., school leases and rentals). These efforts will provide for the reallocation, or allocation, of resources to priority areas, such as the growth required to meet the complex needs of students with special needs and technology-related costs.
