In preparation for the 2023-2024 Budget, the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB) invites parents/guardians, students, staff and community members to provide input into the budget development process.
The GECDSB has developed a multi-year strategic plan to address student success and well-being which identifies three (3) priority areas:
- Creating Confident Learners
- Engaging Communities
- Demonstrating Ethical Stewardship
Approximately 95% of GECDSB funding is provided by the Ministry of Education using a funding formula known as the Grants for Student Needs (GSN). This formula is applied consistently to each of the 72 district school boards in Ontario. The GSN is allocated with limited flexibility. For example, Special Education funding provided in the GSN must be spent on Special Education programs.
For more information about the GECDSB 2023-24 annual budget and budget process, please watch this recording of the 2023-2024 Public Budget Consultation Presentation.
As part of these priorities, the GECDSB is committed to ensure the effective, responsible and sustainable use of resources. This survey will help to guide budget development to ensure alignment with strategic priorities.
Please take a few minutes to complete this anonymous survey, which will be open until: March 31, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.
