  • 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
