Ottawa Carleton District School Board

Every spring, the OCDSB develops the annual operating budget for the next school year. Guided by the commitments in our strategic plan, the budget outlines how funds will be spent to support students across the district in reaching their full potential. 

School districts operate on a fiscal year that runs from September 1 to August 31. The District’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year must be approved by the Board before the end of June of the current year. To meet this timeline, several meetings are scheduled to obtain comment from the public, to provide the Board with an opportunity to establish the District’s priorities, and to refine the allocation of resources.

The tentative public meeting dates at which budget matters will be discussed are:
