  11. TCDSB 2008-09 Prelim. Budget Status Conclusion • Although staff has concerns regarding reductions in Program Areas and related staffing, it is expected that we will comply with the approved 3 year Deficit Management Plan which ends in 2008-09 • Factors that could reduce the impact on the Board’s budget are: - EPO grants allocated outside the GSN - Future grants such as $150M province wide Junior Intermediate, as yet unallocated, will enable the board to rescind layoff notices - Less returns from leaves and more retirements - Application for Safe Schools Grant • Cost Pressures: - Large number of small schools is a strain on Board resources - Continuing decline in enrolment - Increases in the cost of Utilities above funding - Cost of providing Transportation to our students exceeds grant - Aging technology, both hardware and software, IT infrastructure • Number of budget requests not included in the Budget due to lack of funding. These requirements have a significant impact on the system
