Budget 2014-2015 Community input is an important step in developing our budget. Parents, students, partners, and community members bring a unique perspective. You are invited to share your ideas about budget priorities. Please think about our strategic objectives and consider the following questions: Can you identify three opportunities for investment that would support student achievement and well- being at the OCDSB? Can you identify three opportunities or changes that could generate savings? The District’s four key priority areas are well-being, engagement, leadership and learning. In your opinion, does one of these priority areas require more investment at this time? Please send us your thoughts by e-mail to [email protected]. Your submission will be considered during the development of the staff recommended 2014-2015 Budget and may be included in Board reports. We would like to receive input by March 31, 2014 to allow sufficient time to incorporate your comments into the budget process. For more information please read our Budget Guide. Math Facts Do you ever think about the connections between math and music? Here are a couple of videos that explain the connections. The Math of Music is an 8 minute video that talks about patterns, waves, frequency, and amplitude. It's geared to a secondary audience. "A-Rythm-etic" is an entertaining and informative TED talk by Drummer Clayton Cameron. It's a great video to watch with the kids as he breaks down different genres of music—from R&B to Latin to pop—by their beats. This talk proves hip hop and jazz aren't cooler than math—they simply rely on it. This is a great video to watch with elementary students.
