2022-2023 Budget
The 2022-2023 Operating and Capital budget was passed unanimously by the Prairie Land Board of Trustees on May 24, 2021. An operating surplus of $876,940 will enable the support of additional capital purchases that will provide upgrades to fleet vehicles, maintenance equipment, activity buses for extracurricular events, and additional funds to augment the future retrofit of the Morrin gymnasium into a CTS facility. These capital commitments will reduce the surplus by $1.2 million for a net draw on operational reserves of $323,057 which will be submitted to the Minister of Education for approval.
