In accordance with the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Act, school districts in the province must approve a balanced budget and submit it to the Ministry of Education by June 30, 2013. As ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ District No. 42 began planning for 2013/14, it invited parents, staff, community members and partner groups to participate in the budget development process by sharing their thoughts on how the school district might achieve a balanced budget that addresses current priorities while remaining fiscally responsible.

A Budget Survey was prepared for the purpose of collecting this feedback, which will be one of several important factors that will inform the development of the Proposed Preliminary Budget for 2013/14. The results of the budget survey are posted below in pdf format.
