  • Based on enrolment
  • New Pupil Places Grant (school

construction)

  • School Operations (custodial, utilities,

maintenance, minor repairs)

  • School Renewal (major renovation)

Community Education & Information Meeting Community Education & Information Meeting

New Pupil Places Grant

  • Used for School construction
  • Generated by “need” as defined by

Ministry of Education

  • Calculated separately for elementary and

secondary panels

  • If a board has greater enrolment than

capacity in a panel, there is a “need” and the Board is funded

New Pupil Places Grant

Ways to increase grant:

– Increase enrolment – Decrease capacity

  • From 1998-2005, Board could reduce

capacity by school consolidation and

  • ffering the facility to another board
  • With 2005 changes to Funding Model,

school consolidation no longer generates additional grant Community Education & Information Meeting

New Pupil Places Grant

  • TCDSB eligible in secondary panel
  • In 2002-03, the Board became

eligible for funding in the elementary panel by consolidating schools

  • Due to declining enrolment, the Board

was no longer eligible for funding in the elementary panel beginning in 2003-04.

  • Board receives $18M in annual NPP

grant. Community Education & Information Meeting

Capital Program

  • In 2001, Board of Trustees approved
  • Phase 1 Capital Program of 15

replacement schools and additions

  • Phase 2 Capital Program of 16 projects,

subject to the Board acquiring additional NPP grants

Community Education & Information Meeting Community Education & Information Meeting

Since 1998, the Board has constructed or approved 29 replacement schools/additions, at $288 M

Debt

  • Declining enrolment & increased school

leasing costs have eroded the NPP grant to the point that we cannot issue debentures to cover the cost of the capital program

  • TCDSB will start to carry approx. $21 M

deficit for capital construction in 2006/07

Community Education & Information Meeting Community Education & Information Meeting

SCHOOL OPERATIONS GRANT

  • Funds caretaking, utilities,

minor repairs & ongoing maintenance

  • Expenditure in excess of grant
  • ($77 M expenditure, $66M

grant in 2004/05)

  • Problem will get worse with

expected increase in utility costs

Leased Facilities

  • 17% of students in leased

facilities

  • Cost: $3.185M per year
  • Must be charged to New Pupil

Places Grant

  • Since 1998, the number of

leases has been reduced from 34 to 25. Community Education & Information Meeting Community Education & Information Meeting

Leased Facilities

  • TCDSB pays $3.185 million in

lease payments per year. 17%

  • f TCDSB students are in leased

facilities. According to the funding formula, lease payments must be paid from funds for school construction. The Board has reduced the number of leases over the last few years from 35 to 25.

Leased Facilities Possibilities:

in Board-owned properties, if possible

MINISTRY TECHNICAL INSPECTIONS

  • Ministry of Education School

Renewal Initiative: School Inspections in 2003

  • Technical Inspections only, on “as

built” basis

  • Did not include improvements to

building, Building Code requirements, program needs, accessibility, IT needs

Community Education & Information Meeting

DEFERRED MAINTENANCE

  • Technical inspections:

For 2003-2007: $318 M (in 2003 dollars)

  • For 2005-2015 (taking

inflation into account): $750M (est.)

SCHOOL RENEWAL FUNDING

  • Regular Annual Renewal Grant:

$15M

  • “Good Places to Learn” one

time allocation that will generate $39M. Can only be used for “High & Urgent” projects as defined by Ministry inspections

Community Education & Information Meeting

SCHOOL RENEWAL BUDGET

  • 2004-06 School Renewal

Budget was $32.6 M, which included both technical & program needs such as Science labs

The Deferred Maintenance Needs for TCDSB schools is: For 2003-2007: $318 M (in 2003 dollars) For 2005-2015 (taking inflation into account): > $750M (est.) Regular Annual Renewal Grant: $15M “Good Places to Learn” one time allocation that will generate $37M. Can only be used for “High & Urgent” projects as defined by Ministry inspections 2004-06 School Renewal Budget was $32.6 M, which included both technical & program needs such as Science labs

What factors should be considered so the Board can make effective use of scarce Renewal funds?

Issues for Discussion Renewal funding

Renewal Funding Possibilities

  • Concentrate on building envelope

projects only board wide (windows, boilers, roofs)

  • Deep retrofit (fix everything) schools

with high enrolment only. This could mean moving students out temporarily,

  • Concentrate on schools with projected

growth

  • Consider overall condition of building

(replace vs repair)

  • Other

Issues for Discussion

  • 7. Growth Related

Needs/Education Development Charges

Community Education & Information Meeting What are education development charges (EDCs)?

  • Legislation permits eligible school boards

to levy a charge on new residential and non-residential development.

  • EDC revenue can only be used for

growth-related site acquisition. It cannot be used for construction purposes. Community Education & Information Meeting

slide-24
SLIDE 24

24

  • Since TCDSB adopted its first EDC By-

law, it has used EDC revenue for the full or partial acquisition of 6 sites.

  • An additional 10 sites are identified for

acquisition in the current By-law. Community Education & Information Meeting

slide-25
SLIDE 25

25

Growth Related Needs

  • TCDSB receives funding from

Education Development Charges to purchase school sites in growth areas. However, it does not receive funding to construct any schools or additions in these areas. What should we do?

Issues for Discussion Growth Related Needs Possibilities

  • Continue to request the provincial

government that Funding generated by Education Development Charges could be used for school construction as well as for the purchase of school sites

  • Continue to request that funding for

school construction be based on accommodation needs in a small review area and not board-wide.

Small Schools

  • Funding model is based on

enrolment and does not fully support the proper operation of small schools (operationally and educationally)

  • TCDSB has “small” schools that

are:

– Small buildings with high enrolment and – Large buildings with low enrolment

  • Fixed costs remain high

Small Schools (Small physical size, small enrolment) Possibilities
