Statement from the Greater Victoria School Board Chair on the 2021/22 Budget

“The Greater Victoria School District is postponing a decision on the 2021/22 budget. Therefore, the special budget meeting on Monday, May 17th at 7:30 p.m. is postponed until further notice. The regular Board meeting that was scheduled at 9:30 p.m. will now start at 7:30 p.m. 

We heard the feedback from our learning community loud and clear, so we’re requesting outside support to help the Board balance and approve its budget. The Chair and the Superintendent have requested the Ministry of Education to assist with identifying an independent advisor to help review the process and options and make recommendations to the Board.”
