The Flin Flon School Board presented their budget plan for the 2022-23 school year at a virtual meeting last night. Revenue shows a total of just over 15.8 million dollars. Under expenditures of just over 16 million dollars 80 percent of funding goes to payroll, 18 percent to services and supplies and 2 percent to fiscal items. Just over 307 thousand will be transferred from their surplus. Provincial government funding increased by 2.6 percent or just over 254 thousand dollars to just over 9.6 million dollars.
The Manitoba government has requested school divisions hold the 2022 special levy at the same amount as 2021 so the Division will receive the property tax offset grant in lieu of the 2 percent increase cap so the proposed mill rate is 22.8 percent. The 2022 municipal request is just over 5 million dollars or an increase of just under 101 thousand dollars for 2021.
Total student enrollment at last September 30th was 946 compared to 948 for September 30th 2020.
The budget presentation has been posted on the Division’s website www.ffsd.mb.ca.
