Capital Budget Government establishes a three-year capital plan
which provides project funding for new schools, replacement or renovation of schools and site purchases
All 60 school districts submit projects which are then prioritized by the Ministry of Education for support within the budget
Some criteria that will assist in being rated higher are:• School consolidations• Community sharing/partnership• School districts providing some of the funding from
the proceeds of sale of older sites• Age and facility rating of the school

Will the proposed replacement school increase school taxes?
NO. As the project is approved within a fixed capital budget total, the taxes are already set on that amount and the project will not increase the amount of dollars being raised from school taxes. If school taxes changed, it would be a result of the Province deciding to fund a different amount of their budget from school taxes or changes in assessed value of the taxpayer’s home.
If Saanich does not build the replacement school, those resources would be re-allocated to another project elsewhere in the province.

History of Project As part of a three-year capital plan for public schools,
Government approved the renovation and/or replacement of North Saanich Middle School in the 2006/07 funding year
This project was one of 11 approved for the entire province in that year
August 2006 – Provincial projects deferred due to rising construction costs
January 2007, reapproved to proceed to Project Agreement in March 2009.

Approval Process
Feasibility Study: Phase 1: Establish the Project Scope
– Renovate or Replace Phase 2: Establish the Site & Budget
for the Project
Project Agreement between the Province and the School District which sets out the particulars of the project for which the School Board will be held accountable

Renovate or Rebuild The first step in the feasibility study was to determine
if the best option was to renovate the existing school or to demolish the school and start again
December 2005 – Chang Holovsky Architects and Advicas Group, Quantity Surveyors determined that the cost to renovate the school would be approximately 92% of the cost for new
On a Life Cycle cost comparison basis, the lower operating costs for a new school would pay back in less than 5 years’ time
The recommendation at Phase 1 was to demolish the school and build a new one on the John Road site
