  • FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP GSSD Believes That We Are All Accountable
    March/April 2021 FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP GSSD believes that we are all accountable. Board members, students, staff, families and community members have a responsibility, both individually and as part of the learning team, to participate and to contribute positively to public education. STUDENT & FAMILY INTERNAL PROCESSES PEOPLE CAPACITY FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP FINANCIAL CAPACITY PEOPLE PROCESSES INTERNAL FAMILY & STUDENT Long-term Goals • By June 30, 2021, GSSD will implement systemic and transparent approaches to find efficiencies and increase value for money allowing the division to respond to the challenges of student and staff needs. 2021-22 BUDGET Provincial Context Saskatchewan school divisions will receive $1.96 billion in operating funding for the 2021-22 school year which is a net increase of $21.9 million over last year. Though the increase appears to be significant, much of it will be used to offset the costs associated with the teachers’ collective bargaining agreement as well as other minor adjustments within the operating grant. What Does this Mean for GSSD? GSSD’s projected enrolment for September 2021 is set to be approximately 127.50 lower than the previous year. Enrolment numbers are established with the support of local in-school administrators, year over year (straight- line) projections, and a software package called Barager Demographics. Though we are expecting the grant revenues for GSSD to increase slightly ($375,000) for the upcoming school year, the division’s associated expenses have also increased at a much high

First, we would like to thank all those people experiencing homelessness who shared their stories with the researchers. These are the people who shared personal accounts and community knowledge. Every piece of information was a valuable asset to the project. We are grateful for all the courage and conviction you have shown. Second, we are honoured to have many people who dedicated themselves to helping with the project. These are the front line workers and service providers who met and spoke with the researchers. The devotion to their communities and to eliminating challenges and homelessness is encouraging and inspiring. Without your help we would not have accomplished this task. Next, we would like to express our gratitude to all the advisors who helped advance this research process. These are the members of the communities and service providers who guided the progress of the project. Thank you for pointing us in the right direction. Lastly, we would like to thank the Aboriginal Homelessness Advisory Board for being the steering committee of this project. Your commitment to Saskatchewan and its Aboriginal people is awe-inspiring!
