Budget
2010 - 2010
Rainbow District School Board approved a budget of approximately $172 million for the 2010-2011 school year at the regular Board meeting on Monday, June 21, 2010.
The 2010-2011 budget provides the financial framework for Rainbow District School Board to achieve its priorities – ensure success for all students, ensure efficient business management, and promote succession planning and talent development.
Provincial funding for 2010-2011 has increased by 1.3 per cent. The Province has allocated funding for the introduction of the new Early Learning Program in six Rainbow Schools and the ongoing implementation of retrofits to achieve energy savings.
The budget includes the introduction of full day every day Junior Kindergarten in all Rainbow Schools. The Board also approved funding to expand the communication system for parents in elementary schools, renew some computers for teachers, and upgrade the wireless network in secondary schools.
Rainbow District School Board provides quality programs and character development to students in Sudbury, Espanola and Manitoulin Island in 38 elementary and 10 secondary schools.
