School districts operate on a fiscal year that runs from 01 September to 31 August. The District’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year must be approved by the Board before the end of June of the current year. To meet this timeline, a staff-recommended budget will be presented to Committee of the Whole Budget (COW Budget) on 25 May 2020, and several meetings are scheduled to obtain comment from the public, to provide the Board with an opportunity to establish the District's priorities and to refine the allocation of resources.
