The Ottawa Catholic School Board is planning to dip into reserves to balance its budget for the next school year.
"This budget provides for minimal additional spending as compared to prior years and focuses on maintaining spending on areas of strategic priorities achieved through the savings from efficiencies and expenditure reductions," Director of Education Tom D'Amico says in an overview of the budget. According to staff, the budget includes funding for 124.6 new full-time equivalent staffing positions, including 54 education assistants and two mental health workers.
The budget also includes a $7.5 million multi-year investment in outdoor learning spaces and WiFi to allow schools to "incorporate new innovative ideas" into outdoor learning spaces.
