The Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB) uses education development charges (EDC) to fund the acquisition of new school sites to accommodate a growing student population. Local municipalities collect development charges on behalf of the Board and these charges are payable at the time a building permit is issued.

2019 education development charges review

In late 2018, GECDSB started a review of the education development charges.

Here are some background studies and reports related to the review process:
