CBE Budget – Where Do $s Come From? For the 2018-19 school year:

• 94 per cent of funding came from the

provincial government

• 14 per cent of this funding is

restricted for specific uses

• In recent years, provincial funding

has increased to support student enrolment growth.

CBE Budget – Where Do $s Come From? For the 2018-19 school year:

• The other six per cent was generated

from school fees, school fundraising activities, facility rentals and investment income

CBE Budget – Where Do $s Go?

• The entire organization supports student

learning

• 75 per cent the entire CBE budget is for

salaries and benefits

needs of all students at the school.

students

School Budget – RAM Supports Student Learning

• The school budget is the resources we

have to implement our School Development Plan and other supports for student learning. Some of the factors we consider are:

• What are the priority outcomes and

strategies for students?

• What supplies, resources and

equipment is required to support learning goals?

• Do we need to invest in professional

development or mentoring?

Our 2018-19 School Budget

• Our student enrolment for the current year

was 775. Our school budget was:

RAM Allocations Per School total $ 585,316 Per Student total $ 4,325,073 Total RAM Allocations $ 4,910,389 RAM deployment Scenario A Organization FTEs Teachers $ 4,074,073 40.3 Support staff $ 128,402 2.4 Administration $ 433,858 5.2 Total staffing $ 4,636,333 47.8 Supplies /other $ 274,056 Total RAM deployment plans $ 4,910,389

Our 2018-19 School Budget

Staff deployment is based on a lot of variables: Student needs and feedback in surveys from parents and students Staff expertise Emerging needs PATs and gaps we might be seeing – how we can best address these English Language Learners Trying to keep class sizes low while keeping as many of our specialists as possible

Our 2019-20 School Budget

• Our student enrolment projection for the 2019-20

school year is 710. Below is an estimate based on the 2018-2019 RAM formulas

RAM Allocations Per School total $ 539,693 Per Student total $ 3,860,202 Total RAM Allocations $ 4,399,895 RAM deployment Scenario A Organization FTEs Teachers $ 3,638,545 35.9 Support staff $ 87,379 1.7 Administration $ 490,111 5.8 Total staffing $ 4,216,034 43.4 Supplies /other $ 183,861 Total RAM deployment plans $ 4,399,895

Our 2019-20 School Budget

• A decrease of 70 students plus the loss of

many coded learners means that we will be losing approximately 5 teachers next year

• Tough choices we need to make:
• What’s in the best interest of our

learners and school

• Specialist outside of core classes
• Fewer people to do the work –

concerns over extracurricular and burning people out

• Class sizes
