2025-2026 Budget
Input
The
Wellington Catholic District School board is comprised of 22 schools,
approximately 9000 students and we proudly serve families in eight
municipalities within the City of Guelph and Wellington County.
Our
budget decisions are guided by strategic priorities, government policies, and
community input. The Board continues to prioritize mental health and
well-being for students and staff, equity and diversity, language support and
assistance for students with diverse needs. We are committed to making
strategic investments that maximize the impact on student learning and
development while ensuring fiscal responsibility.
This
approach allows us to address critical areas such as classroom resources, staff
development, and student support services, ensuring all students can
succeed.
The
Wellington Catholic District School Board must work within policies,
legislation and practices, which help to guide the budget process.
Ministry legislation, accounting standards and labour agreements inform the
budget process externally while Board policy and strategic plan provide
internal direction for budget planning.
The
Ministry of Education provides direction related to the allocation of funding
under the Core Education Funding model and Responsive Education Programs.
For other discretionary funds, the Board uses the budgeting process to align
spending with the Board’s strategic priorities.
