At the Committee of the Whole Meeting on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the Board of Education received an update on the 2025-2026 preliminary budget from Acting Secretary-Treasurer Jeremy Hunt.
Hunt reported that a projected enrolment decline of 113.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) students, along with a decrease of 20 FTE in categorized funding, is expected to result in a $1.3 million funding shortfall. He noted that the District is exploring cost savings across departments, including reductions to finance software, WCB contract services, electricity and energy due to conservation projects, wellness initiatives, and administrative restructuring, resulting in an estimated savings of $725,165.
