FUNDING SOURCES

The province encourages minimizing education property tax through the Property Tax Offset Grant and Tax Incentive Grant, totaling $9.3 million. The Board has identified additional resources to support the reduction in class sizes for our youngest learners. 

While the Division has received a slight increase in overall base funding of 1.5% from the Province, it is not enough to keep up with the student enrolment increases, salary increases and fixed cost increases like utilities. 

This budget continues to provide excellent educational opportunities for all students achieved through a modest increase in the mill rate, which remains the lowest in the city of Winnipeg. 


2025-2026 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS

Budget combined operating and capital expenditures of $248 million. 

In recent years, the Provincial Government had restricted the amount of money raised through local taxation. This restriction has been lifted. Homeowners will see a variety of fluctuations in Education Property Tax Depending on the value of their home (see Schedule 5 above).

Increase in combined operating and capital expenditures of $24,562,096 or 11%. 

Our Board has added 76.6 Full Time Equivalent teaching positions and 80 educational assistant positions which continues to support staffing levels and adds further resources into the classroom. 

Continued support of Pre-K to Grade 6 early learning needs through our summer Ignite 3 programming for the 2025-2026 school year.
