Other Expenditures • All other expenditures (5.2%) 2009-10 FINANCIAL ESTIMATES – Summary Operating Revenue & Expenditures Projections 2009-10 Projections Operating Revenue $ 479,066,293 Expenditures: Salaries & Benefits (87.7%) Committed (7.1%) $ 419,961,059 33,849,638 Balance available to fund remaining Other Expenditures: Other Expenditures (5.2%) Surplus/(Shortfall) (453,810,697) 25,255,596 (25,255,596) 0 MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS Major assumptions used in developing final budget projections : SALARIES & BENEFITS • Implementation of Provincial Framework Agreement for 2009-10 (Note: 2nd year of 4 year agreement) • Salaries and Benefits are as presented to Labour Relations Committee on May 13, 2009 • Benefits renewal premiums as recommended by Benefits consultant (Mercer) • Detailed Salaries & Benefits Expenditure module (28 pages) provides details around related assumptions and staffing level projections for 2009-10 MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS Major assumptions used in developing final budget projections : COMMITTED EXPENDITURES (non Salaries & Benefits) • Committed expenditures are projected at 2009-10 levels as required OTHER EXPENDITURES • All other budgets are at 2008-09 Revised Estimates levels reduced by the amount required to balance the 2009-10 budget (total targeted amount $ 1.4 million or approximately 5.3% of Revised Estimates) • It is proposed that the Allocation of Resources Design Team work towards achieving the reductions that have been made (from Revised Estimates levels.) • System targets (e.g. Printing budgets) • Budget release holdbacks etc. MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS Major assumptions used in developing final budget projections : RESERVES: • No provision has been made for the transfer of reserve funds to balance the operating budget • For 2009-10 it is proposed that a transfer of reserves only be used for those expenditures “excluded” from the operating expenditure projections due to their infrastructure or multi-year profile (e.g. Student Admin. System, telephony, disaster recovery) or of a “one-time” nature. • Recommendation ‘B’ proposes drawdown of up to approximately $ 1.13 million 2009-10 FINANCIAL ESTIMATES – Summary Projected Operating Revenue & Expenditures 2009-10 Projections Increase/(Decrease) $ 461,051,449 $ 479,066,293 $ 18,014,844 3.91% 464,442,490 479,066,293 14 ,623,803 3.15% $ (3,391,041) 0 $ 3,391,041 3,391,041 0 3,391,041 0 0 0 2008-09 Revised Estimates Operating Revenue Operating Expenditures Surplus/(Shortfall) Transfer from Reserves Surplus/(Shortfall) $ % NOTE: For the 2009-10 Financial Estimate Projections, the revenue and expenditures have “excluded” provision for the use of reserves.

F. LOBBYING OF GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: i) THAT the Board continue to lobby the government to ensure equitable and adequate funding is available for all students in Ontario, and ii) THAT Administration be directed and authorized to lobby on behalf of the Board for changes in the new funding model where, in the opinion of administration, the principles of equity and adequacy are not being met. iii) THAT the Board in cooperation with the Ontario Catholic School Trustees Association undertake a review of data regarding school board budgets with the objective of developing a coordinated approach with the Ministry of Education for addressing the short and long term financial needs of school boards. COMPLIANCE REPORTING No Deficit (Balanced Budget) Compliance with Funding “Envelopes” Special Education Pupil Accommodation Administration and Governance see note NOTE: As previously reported, expenditures must be categorized according to Ministrydefined envelopes. Based on preliminary categorization of expenditures included in the final projection, the 2009-10 (as well as projected 2008-09) Administration and Governance envelope will be “exceeded”, but will be less than the Ministry-maximum threshold of 15%. Summary/Conclusion As noted at past Board meetings, the development of budget information has been focused on capturing accurate data and providing accurate expenditure and revenue projections based on assumptions identified. Various individuals have been involved in the developing and coordinating of budgetary information.
