The Lord Selkirk School Division Board of Trustees officially approved its budget for the 2026-2027 school year during a meeting on March 3, 2026. This decision in Selkirk, Manitoba, sets the spending plan for local schools, including money for daily classroom operations and new school buses.
The approved budget includes $78,802,674 for the operating fund. This money is used to pay for the everyday costs of running schools, such as staff salaries, school programs, and building maintenance.
An additional $300,000 was approved for a separate fund dedicated to buying new buses. These funds ensure that student transportation remains reliable for families across the division for the upcoming school year.
Before the final vote, the school board held a virtual presentation on February 19, 2026, to share the draft budget with the public. This meeting allowed community members to review how the division planned to manage its finances and balance provincial funding with local needs.
