PROVINCIAL FUNDING
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Provincial Education Funding the same, at $4.725 Billion
Decline of 6,246 FTE students, slightly less than last year
Funding per FTE increased $116 per student to $6,900
LIF, Early Reader Funds to continue
AFG to continue
8 districts reporting increased enrolment, 30 districts in Funding Protection
No increase to cover rise in pensions, Net Zero type mandate for bargaining
PROVINCE WIDE
•
•
•
•
As our drop would equate to more than 1.5% of our budget, we are in
Funding Protection ($31 000), thus a cut of $154 041.
Block Grant for SD 50 will be $10 066 911.
With additional cost pressures and new initiatives we will need to
calculate on saving $250 000
Despite this, we will have our lowest PTR yet.

are actually in the facility.
 Difference between the Design Space and
Actual Space is the room (space) available.

YOUR INPUT

budget and had their say. What are your ideas?
What should we do to keep our budget
balanced?
 What about the long term? Are there things we
should be doing in view of the ongoing changes
to our district and education in general?
