3 Message from the Director Halton District School Board We are pleased to present the budget for the school year 2014/2015. The budget outlines the allocation of over $664 million to support the education of 61,300 students. The 2014/2015 budget represents an increase of over $33 million from the current budget of the Board and is balanced with the funding provided by the province. The increase in both the budget and the funding is due to an increased enrolment of 1,926 students. This increase will result in the addition of support staff and 125 teachers. Although a large portion of the Board budget is required to sustain the programs in 2014/2015, funds have been allocated to enhance key initiatives and goals included in the Multi-Year plan. The budget will allow for the addition of 6 teachers and learning kits to expand our literacy and math competency targets for our students whose reading/math levels are not equal to their peers, 4 speech language pathologists to increase support for system wide early screening response for students with delayed language and literacy development and 26 additional educational assistants for identified students. Budget also includes funds to support our Mental Health Strategy, English Language Learner Reception and Assessment Centre and additional staff to support our single administrator schools. Schools will receive additional financial support with an increase in the funding of instructional materials, funds for technology renewal and an increase in the support of day to day maintenance. Staff and trustees have worked diligently to develop a budget that not only will continue the excellence in our educational program but one that will promote the continuous improvement in our service to students. David Euale Executive Summary The Halton District School Board has always been financially responsible with a clear focus on providing the system with the resources and supports necessary to ensure we inspire and support learning; create safe, healthy and engaging environments, and provide opportunities for challenge and choice. The budget presented for the 2014/2015 school year continues this approach. In 2014/2015, the Halton District School Board will welcome approximately 61,300 students in 84 elementary and 18 secondary schools. This enrolment projection results in an overall increase of 3.2% as compared to the 2013/2014 school year. Enrolment growth will continue to be experienced in Milton (1,107 students) and Oakville (515 students) for the 2014/2015 school year. This is as a result of new residential development and a younger demographic in these communities. Halton Hills and Burlington will continue to experience growth, with enrolment projected to increase by 42 and 263 students respectively. Slower residential growth in these communities is as a result of limited servicing capabilities in Halton Hills, and the availability of 2

4 lands for new development in Burlington. As we move forward, overall enrolment at HDSB is projected to increase by 6,800 students by the year 2023/2024. This will be primarily as a result of new residential development in Milton and Oakville. The Ministry of Education allocates funding to school boards using a model based on enrolment and the specific needs of students in each board. For 2014/2015, the HDSB expects to receive 92% (approximately $618 million) of total operating revenue from the Ministry of Education. On March 27, 2014, the Ministry of Education released information with respect to education funding for 2014/2015. The 2014/2015 Grants for Student Needs (GSN) supports the education sector s continued focus on key student achievement goals. The level of funding demonstrates the government s sustained commitment to investing in education, despite declining enrolment (provincially) and a challenging provincial fiscal situation. The key objective of the budget development process is to align the allocation of resources with the Operational Plan of the Board, the Multi-Year Plan, and the Special Education Plan; identify school-based staffing requirements; identify budget challenges and opportunities, and gather input from the various stakeholder groups. Updates on the budget development process were presented to the Trustees in April and May In addition, communication and stakeholder input was requested via communication with principals/managers, Special Education Advisory Committee, and public consultation via HDSB website. All budget development documentation was posted on the HDSB website; invitation for parental and community input was made available using Checkbox Software on the HDSB website. This opportunity for input was communicated using news releases to parents/school councils and newspaper advertisements in all local newspapers. The Halton District School Board is committed to every student. The includes base funding driven by the current budget, as well as adjustments for increases in on-going operating expenditures (such as utility costs, fuel, etc.). In addition, the budget proposes a number of new enhancements that support the Operational Plan and the goal areas including Students, Staff, and System. The projected growth in enrolment has also resulted in additional staff in order to meet class size legislation and/or program requirements. The total increase in staff over the 2013/2014 Revised Budget totals full time equivalents (FTE). A summary of budget highlights includes: Investment in Our Students Math Competency Math Context Learning Kits (for schools currently without a kit) Implementation uses FOSNOT approach to mental math and math congress Learning kit provides the foundation and sustainable resource needed for ongoing improvement through math congress Math Plan (Continuation of Plan Approved October 2013) Plan includes training institutes, adaptive learning, Mental Math training, Diagnostic resources training in PRIME, training for math coaches, support for AQ funding, Grade 3 and 6 board wide EQAO math training 3

14 Ministry of Education Regulations The Education Act requires all school boards in Ontario to approve an annual balanced budget within the definitions set by the Ministry of Education regulations. The fiscal year for all school boards in Ontario is in alignment with the school year and runs from September 1 to August 31. According to Ministry of Education reporting and accountability requirements, a school board s budget must be submitted to the Ministry by the end of June preceding the start of the fiscal year in question. Consequently, the 2014/2015 budget will be submitted prior to end of June Beginning in 2010, all school boards were required to convert to a PSAB (Public Sector Accounting Board) basis of accounting. This results in a new definition of balanced budget including the requirement to approve a capital budget in addition to an operating budget. The new PSAB standards follow more closely private sector finance and expenditure principles including, but not limited to, a statement of amortization, deferred capital charges and future liabilities (retirement gratuities). One of the consequences of PSAB accounting is that any non- Ministry funded capital spending must be financed through available accumulated surplus (previously referred to as reserves). Therefore, there is a need to produce a surplus in any year in order to allow non-ministry funded capital projects and the related financing costs. The new balanced budget definition also allows school boards to allocate a portion of the unrestricted accumulated surplus (not to exceed one percent of the Ministry s Grants for Student Needs) funding to balance its budget. 2014/2015 Ministry of Education Funding Grants for Student Needs (GSN) The provincial announcement of March 27, 2014 continues with the transition from a time of large annual increases in education funding to a more constrained fiscal environment. In this environment, the Ministry focus will continue to be on student achievement and ensuring that Ontario is served by a well-managed education system that focuses resources on students and schools. Details of the GSN are available on the Ministry website at: Conclusion The 2014/2015 Operating and Capital Budget of the Halton District School Board provides stability to programs and services. It has been developed with the mission of inspiring and supporting learning; creating safe, healthy and engaging environments; and providing opportunities for challenge and choice. Lucy Veerman, B.
