Trustees approve a budget to address the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic
On Wednesday, June 16, 2021, Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) trustees approved a balanced budget comprising $803.2M in expenditures, with a capital budget of $87.9M for the 2021-22 school year.
Financial Services worked closely with departments throughout the WRDSB to review budgets, making sure spending trends were analyzed and any necessary adjustments were made. The WRDSB benefitted from this review, ensuring we are well-positioned fiscally to address the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as any future pressures. The approved budget complies with provincial legislation, ensures the long-term fiscal stability of the board, and provides funding for new initiatives to continue to move the board forward and improve student achievement and well-being.
