TCDSB trims another $2.7M from budget Tuesday night

Toronto Catholic District School Board trustees have voted in favour of a host of motions that will trim an additional $2.7 million from their budget.

Among the items approved by trustees during their meeting Tuesday night is a plan to slash $1.7 million from the textbook budget, $350,000 from the computer technology budget and 5 per cent from the budgets of 19 different departments, including human resources, communications, special education and the safe school team.

Trustees also voted to reduce non-classroom spending across the board by $435,770 and eliminate the $50,000 discretionary budget given to Director of Education Angela Gauthie.
