The Upper Grand District School Board has approved their 2023-24 school year budget.
A release from UGDSB states that its Operating Expenditures Budget is $455,486,186. The approved 2023-2024 Capital Projects Budget is $38,074,756.
The budget reflects the multi-year plan developed by the UGDSB Board. The plan intends to deliver foundational education and student achievement, inspire a love of lifelong learning, champion health and wellbeing, ensure equity of access and outcomes and to lead through sustainability for students and staff.
The board will utilize available accumulated surplus to address the budget shortfall of $6.5 million to better address math and literacy needs.
“By focusing our investments on Upper Grand students and on the priorities of the MYP, we hope to achieve Vision 2026, which is to be recognized as educational leaders in creating unparalleled, agile and inclusive learning experiences for all,” said UGDSB Chair Ralf Mesenbrink.
