What Parents and Students Need to Know
Hello,
This is a friendly reminder that the 2023/2024 SD48 Annual Budget Input Survey is available for your input until January 18, 2023. Please see the below message from Secretary-Treasurer, Danielle Haverstock:
Dear SD48 Partner,
SD48 Board of Education follows a budget development process each school year in order to establish the final annual budget for submission to the Ministry of Education and Child Care. This process begins with providing an opportunity for partners to share input towards decision-making.
The District has a carefully developed and well-defined Education Plan (Pathways to Learning). The purpose of the survey opportunity is to seek advice on aligning the budget with the Education plan.
Once the survey closes, the next step in the budget development process is the Partner group meeting. The Partner Group meeting will help prioritize the input gathered through this survey.
Please click the link below to provide your input.

Sincerely,
Danielle Haverstock
