Please check your district below for dates and times, I have included them where possible.
This page will gather links to budget meetings processes and any information we find, including details about proposed budget cuts. Please do share information about your school district budget or any concerns you may have.
Budgets have a huge impact on service delivery. Every year BCEdAccess wishes they had time to pursue this. This year, many districts are considering very large cuts – some of the larger districts in the millions of dollars range. We all need to be paying attention.
ALWAYS check with your school District for the most up to date and correct information; this page is being provided to gather the District information in one place but should not be seen as a replacement for official information.
Please contact us if you see missing or incorrect information, or if there are broken links.
