Finance and Budget
The Finance Department oversees the development and implementation of policies that ensure the effective allocation of resources to support student learning. The department is organized into three divisions: Finance, Budget and Accounting, Purchasing, and Payroll.
Approved Budget
In June 2025, the DCDSB approved a balanced budget of $328.85 million for the 2025-2026 school year. The annual budget is developed by senior staff, under the direction of the Board’s Chief Financial Officer and the Board Finance Committee. The process involves stakeholder consultation and requires adherence to Ministry of Education priorities and the commitments of the DCDSB’s established multi-year plan. The Board continues to demonstrate fiscal responsibility while ensuring financial support for the mission, vision and strategic priorities of the DCDSB community.
