Seven Oaks is consistently

the lowest or second lowest

spending division in Winnipeg -

well below the provincial average.

We spend our money well.

We find economies.

We've put a phone in every classroom and saved $60,000 each year in

the

process.

We've secured additional sources of funding:

  • Adult Education - 434,000
  • Settlement Services - 826,000
  • Wayfinders - 878,000
  • Seven Oaks Education Foundation - 698,000
  • Seven Oaks Performing Arts Centre - 850,000
  • Kildonan Youth Activity Centre - 110,000
  • Maples Youth Activity Centre - 110,000

AND we've undertaken substantial

improvements on our own.

We engage our students

We Get Results

But we have Challenges

Our enrolment growth

is also a budget challenge.

Trustees have worked to lobby for more equalization and a fair system of school funding.

This year their efforts translated into a 3.4%

funding increase for Seven Oaks.

After review the Board

is now proposing a budget

that calls for a 3.54% increase.

Next year's 2017-2018 budget will support

11,700 students in 24 schools

We've focussed our spending where it makes the most difference for students - in the classroom and on programs that engage students in learning.

All 4,000 plus of our

high school students

have a teacher advisor.

2017 - 2018

Budget Presentation

But we are facing challenges.

  • 1% provincial funding increase
  • continued enrolment growth
  • limited and declining commercial assessment
  • no offsetting tax relief

This year 150 students are enrolled

in cooperative vocational education programs

that lead directly to employment, apprenticeships and college training.

Because we spend well we get results

Closing Remarks:

Our graduation rate is consistently over 90%

This year 400 students are enrolled in Wayfinders

tutoring and mentoring program.

This year over 250 of our graduating students are enrolled in courses that earn them University and College credits

this increases their chance of

graduating from 52% to 86%

Each year graduates are awarded over $500,000

in bursaries and scholarships and 2 out of 3 go on to further their education in university, college, trade schools or apprenticeships.

We're selling our old Service Centre

and building a new one at no cost

to the tax payer.

Declining Commercial Assessment

Continuing Enrolment Growth

Homeowner Tax Increases

But that will still result in an 8/10 mill tax increase for homeowners, $105.75 on a house assessed at $293,000.

Last year's increase was $122.85.

A lack of Commercial Assessment

VS

City of Winnipeg Commerical

Assessment has declined by $17.6

million or 5%. This puts an increased

tax load on residential property.
