​â¶Ä‹
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (Âé¶¹´«Ã½) has been operating under an approved Multi-Year Financial Recovery Plan (MYFRP) with the Ministry of Education since 2023, with related concerns and issues dating back to the 2020-2021 year. This continues to be a very difficult time for the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ community, in managing deficit budgets and a growing accumulated deficit position. Âé¶¹´«Ã½ continues to work with the Ministry of Education in addressing the employer-paid Long-Term Disability (LTD) benefit plan that is a significant unfunded expenditure. As we prepare for the upcoming budget year, Âé¶¹´«Ã½ will continue to operate under the MYFRP until a resolution is in place.
The Ministry of Education provides funding to school boards through the Core Education funding formula. Core Education information will be available on the Ministry of Education website as well as through the budget reports presented to the Board of Trustees. Âé¶¹´«Ã½ is committed to ensuring our stakeholders have access to information regarding the budget development process. Stakeholders are encouraged to review the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Multi-Year Strategic Plan and Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Financial Statements.
Public Budget Information Webcast
Âé¶¹´«Ã½ held a live webcast to provide a Public Budget Information Session on April 24, 2025. This was an opportunity to share financial information and updates on the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ deficit position with our community stakeholders. Link to: Recording of Public Budget Information Session Webcast
Stakeholders can contact their local area trustee directly or send an email to Âé¶¹´«Ã½ to provide input for the development of the 2025-2026 budget.
