SCDSB approves balanced and compliant budget of $768 million for 2025-26 school year
At the May 28 Regular Meeting of the Board, trustees approved a balanced and compliant budget of $768 million for the 2025-26 school year, in compliance with the Ministry of Education’s mandate. The Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) budget focuses on meeting the needs of students, guided by the board’s Strategic Priorities.
“Developing and maintaining a balanced and compliant budget is a collaborative effort between the Board of Trustees, Director of Education, senior administrative team, and financial reporting team,” said Corry Van Nispen, Superintendent of Business and Facility Services. “Fiscal responsibility and accountability have long been a focus for the SCDSB, positioning the board well to operate effectively with a conservative budget.”
Funding is allocated to school boards from the Ministry of Education using a funding model designed to be easily understandable, strengthening accountability while balancing the need for flexibility based on local school board needs.
This initiative links directly to the SCDSB Strategic Priorities in the areas of Well-being, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Community and Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
