A shortfall in funding of more than $20 million will impact classrooms and jobs, predict trustees on the Halton District School Board (HDSB).
The forecast was made in a missive presented to the board by two of its trustees.
In their statement, trustees Kelly Amos (Oakville Wards 5 and 7) and Jeanne Gray (Halton Hills) point out the impact of funding shortfalls by way of Ontario’s Ministry of Education.
“Simply put, the funding provided will result in a decrease in (student) funding and staffing levels across the HDSB,” reads the opening line of the statement.
