Catholic School Board Budget Consultation Process

Posted On Thursday March 01, 2018

The Durham Catholic District School Board has always been financially responsible with a focus on student faith formation, well-being and achievement in accordance with the Board's Strategic Plan, Discovery 20/20. As part of the budget process for the upcoming 2018/2019 school year, the Finance Committee of the Durham Catholic District School Board is seeking input from all members of the Catholic community to assist in formulating and affirming Board priorities. In particular, the Board is seeking feedback surrounding the following: essential supports and services to be sustained; areas in need of additional supports; areas to consider for budget savings; as well as any other comments or suggestions you may have.
