Dear Parents/Guardians/Caregivers,
As you may already be aware, the TDSB’s budget process for 2024-25 is currently underway.
During a Special Meeting on April 4, 2024, Trustees approved a motion that outlined several actions to take place over the next few weeks related to the TDSB budget.
Last week, the Chair sent a letter to the Minister of Education to highlight the budgetary challenges we continue to face as a Board and to ask that the Ministry of Education address these funding concerns. Read the full letter here.
Trustees have also created a brief survey to gather feedback from communities as they consider next steps with regard to the budget. Please find a link below and complete as many of the 7 questions as possible. Thank you in advance for your participation. The budget survey will remain open until Friday, May 3, 2024 at 12 noon.
