The school felt alive once more.”

2021, including an updated analysis of Ministry of Education (MOE) grant funding for 2020-2021 and changes made to the draft budget projections from March 11 to May 29, 2020.

The Secretary Treasurer provided highlights of the draft Annual Budget illustrating that there is a

Draft Annual Budget for 2020-2021

REFERENCE TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Goal 3: Create a culture of care and shared social responsibility. Objectives:

• Encourage and enhance practices that support cultural, emotional, physical and mentalwell-being.

Goal 4: Provide effective leadership, governance and stewardship Objectives:

• Effectively utilize school district resources and facilities.• Develop and implement a long-term financial planning model.

INTRODUCTION:

The attached Annual Budget Bylaw (Attachment A) forms the preliminary budget submission for the fiscal year July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021. The School District’s financial activities are accounted for using Public Sector Accounting Board (“PSAB”) reporting standards. The financial activities incurred by the District are recorded in three different funds: the Operating Fund, the Capital Fund and numerous Special Purpose Funds. Together they form the consolidated Statement of Revenue and Expense for the District.

In accordance with Section 113 (1) of the School Act, Boards of Education must adopt, by bylaw, an annual budget on or before June 30 of each year for the next fiscal year. The budget bylaw must be read three times before adoption. The attached Annual Budget is being presented in draft form. The document is considered draft until such time as the Board of Education adopts the bylaw. When the bylaw is adopted, the document will be finalized, signed, and forwarded to the Ministry as required under Section 113(1) of the School Act.

This report contains a recommendation that the Finance Committee recommends that the Board of Education adopt the Annual Budget Bylaw.

BACKGROUND:

The development of the Annual Budget for 2020-2021 has been focused on the operating fund. In previous reports to the committee and the Board detailed explanations were provided of the changes in the projected deficit for next year in the operating fund since the status quo budget was produced in March. The following chart shows the changes in the projected net expense at the various points in the development of the budget:

ITEM 5.3.2.1

2

The status quo operating fund budget in March had a projected net revenue expense of $7.45 million. The operating fund budget included in the attached Annual Budget has a net expense or deficit of $9.14 million. A status quo budget assumes the District will be providing the same level of services and programs for the next year as what is provided in the current year. The existence of a deficit in the status quo budget indicates the District’s budget has a structural deficit. A structural deficit exists when the revenue available to a district is inadequate to cover the district’s costs on a continuing basis. District will be presenting more information on this at the Finance Committee meeting in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. DISCUSSION: The annual budget bylaw in the amount of $647,191,058 is being presented to the Finance Committee along with the complete draft Annual Budget for the 2020-2021 school year for the Committee’s review and recommendation to the Board of Education. The budget bylaw amount is comprised of the fund expenses and capital purchases in the Operating Fund, the Capital Fund and the Special Purpose Funds, as illustrated below:

The Annual Budget is presented in the prescribed Ministry of Education format, and consists of the following: Annual Budget – Revenue $ Expenses Statement 2 provides the details of the budgeted revenue and expense components pf all the funds in the Annual Budget for the District for 2020-2021. As detailed, the total budgeted revenues of $632,129,588 and the total budgeted expenses of $643,157,132 result in a net expense of $11,027,544. The budgeted surplus allocation of $9,127,307 results in a budgeted deficit of $1,890,237 which is entirely in the Capital Fund. The difference between the expense total of $643,157,132 and the bylaw amount of $647,191,058

Operating Fund Expenses 523,233,744$ Operating Fund Capital Assets Purchased 1,777,336 Capital Fund Expenses 29,226,777 Capital Fund Capital Assets Purchased from Local Capital 2,216,712 Special Purpose Funds Expenses 90,696,611 Special Purpose Funds Capital Assets Purchased 39,878

is $4,033,926 which is the sum of the capital assets purchased in the Operating Fund ($1,777,336), the Capital Fund ($2,216,712) and the Special Purpose Funds ($39,878).

Operating Fund Schedules 2, 2A, 2B, and 2C provide the details of the budgeted revenue and expense components of the 2020-2021 Operating Fund budget. As noted in the 2021 Annual Budget column of Schedule 2, the operating budget is balanced, with an appropriation of $9,137,307 of prior year’s surplus. It is important to note that because the preliminary budget is prepared prior to the start of the fiscal year, it reflects information known and estimates made at that time. Many of the estimates used in the operating fund budget for 2020-2021 have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the draft operating fund budget for 2020-2021 was prepared using conservative assumptions, the impact of the pandemic on the District’s operations next year may not have addressed all risks that might occur. Following are major risks that would have a negative impact on the District’s budget:

1. International students are not permitted to enter the country. Currently there are approximately 1,100 ISP students in the province but if enrolment in the International Student Program is lower that the reduced amount in the draft budget the District will see a reduction in funding offset only partially by a reduction in staffing and departmental costs.

2. If there is a significant shift to distance learning for course completion the District’s revenue will decrease because the pe course funding for Distance Learning courses is less than the basic per FTE allocation for students in a bricks and mortar school.

3. Summer School may not have the enrolment projected which will result in a loss of net revenue.

4. The average teacher salary cost is higher than was is projected. 5. Government may place legislative conditions on districts which have the potential in add

costs. 6. The revenue the District receives from community use and leases may decline if

businesses and organizations no longer operate due to financial circumstances or the impacts of the pandemic.

7. There may be additional costs required to support students with special needs 8. Supply shortages for cleaning and disinfecting supplies may impact operations.

This preliminary budget will be updated based on actual enrolment in September 2020, and other factors affecting the 2020-2021 fiscal year. An amended budget will be presented to the Board in February 2021 for approval pursuant to Section 113 (2) of the School Act. In addition to the possible impacts of the risk factors listed above, other costs that will have to be addressed in the preparation of the amended budget include:

1. A wage lift for excluded staff and principals and vice-principals. BCPSEA published guidance on providing such wage lifts at the end of May. A previous estimate for such a lift had been included in a previous version of the budget but was removed pending more information which the District now has.

2. Possible implementation of components of the recently presented Music Program review. 3. Continued work on Anti-Racism strategies.

Special Purpose Funds Schedule 3 and 3A provide the details of the budgeted revenue and expense components of the 2020-2021 Special Purpose Funds budget. Special purposes funds are provided by the Ministry of Education and other contributors for the purposes of funding specific programs and are required to be balanced to zero.

4

The major components of the special purpose funds budget are the Classroom Enhancement Fund, the Annual Facilities Grant (the portion of expenditures pertaining to operating costs), Community LINK, Provincial Resource Programs and School Generated Funds. Capital Fund Schedule 4 provides the details of the budgeted revenue and expense components of the 2020-2021 Capital Fund budget. As noted in the Fund Balance column of Schedule 4, the capital fund has a budgeted deficit of $1,890,237. The budgeted deficit is primarily caused by the amortization of capital asset expense being greater than the amortization of deferred capital revenue offset by rental income, transfers from other funds and capital lease payments. The capital fund budget is comprised of estimates of amounts in Invested in Tangible Capital Assets and in Local Capital. The Invested in Tangible Capital Assets component of the fund consists of the budgeted purchases of tangible capital assets to be made in 2020-2021 and includes capital commitments the Board of Education has made to support seismic projects at Maple Grove Elementary and Dr. George M. Weir Elementary. The Local Capital component of the fund consists of revenue and expense amounts of a capital nature, and capital lease payments. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that:

The Board of Education of School of School District No. 39 (Vancouver) 2020/2021 Annual Budget Bylaw in the amount of $647,191,058 be: Read a first time on the 22nd day of June 2020; Read a second time on the 22nd day of June 2020; That the Board of Education adopts the 2020-2021 Annual Budget Bylaw for School District No. 39 (Vancouver) at the June 22, 2020 public board meeting by having all three readings of the bylaw at that meeting. Read a third time, passed and adopted on the 22nd day of June 2020.

Motion 1: BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Vancouver Racial and Ethnocultural Advisory Committee requests that the City Council urges the Province of B.C. to take action on health inequities by mandating the collection, use and analysis of disaggregated, socio-demographic and race-based data in health and social service sectors; and ensuring that the collection of data is led by critical race researchers who identify as having racialized identities and experiences to ensure that the data collection measures meaningfully contribute to building a culturally safe health care system and is not used for any other purposes. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the committee calls on City Council pass a motion for the City of Vancouver also to mandate the collection, use and analysis of disaggregated, socio-demographic and race-based data in health and social service sectors; and ensuring that the collection of data is led by critical race researchers who identify as having racialized identities and experiences to ensure that the data collection measures meaningfully contribute to building a culturally safe health care system and is not used for any other purposes. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Committee send the letter attached “Call for Race-based data collection in B.C” outlining these recommendations to the City Council.

Motion 2 BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Vancouver Racial and Ethnocultural Advisory Committee publishes the attached media release with the letter to City Council entitled “Call for Race-based data collection in B.C”.

Item 7.3

City of Vancouver Racial and Ethno-Cultural Advisory Committee calls for Race-based health data collection in B.C “This pandemic, and future crises, cannot be effectively tackled without addressing underlying structural inequities that have exacerbated its escalation. Our leaders need to start now by mandating the immediate collection of socio-demographic and race-based data in health and social services”. Ignatius But- Co-Chair, City of Vancouver Racial and Ethno Cultural Equity Advisory Committee. June 3, 2020- The City of Vancouver’s Racial and Ethnocultural Advisory Committee is joining the urgent call from community organizations and institutions across British Columbia and Canada for the collection of socio-demographic and race-based data to understand the impacts of COVID-19 on racialized communities. As members of our committee raised in a previous call with Councillor Kirby-Yung, collecting this data on COVID-19 is of utmost urgency. Marginalized groups experience health inequities despite the existence of Canada’s universal healthcare system. We have ample evidence indicating that individuals and groups of different marginalized identities, including race, experience health inequities despite the existence of Canada’s universal healthcare system. Social determinants of health researchers have consistently echoed the findings of the 2018 report titled “Key Health Inequalities: A National Portrait” , where the Public Health Agency of Canada found that “significant 1

health inequalities were observed for those with lower socioeconomic status, Indigenous peoples, sexual and racial/ethnic minorities, immigrants, and people living with functional limitations”. It is no longer a debate that a person’s identity has significant impacts on their income, employment, access to food and shelter among many other determinants of health. Racialized communities are among the most likely to contract COVID-19 COVID-19 has exacerbated many of these structural inequities. Racialized communities are among the most likely to contract COVID-19 and face disproportionate challenges navigating life in the “new normal”. Racialized individuals are more often employed in sectors deemed essential (including healthcare , food , and transportation providers), 2 3

live in smaller housing units where it is difficult to self-isolate, and face barriers to accessing information, resources and support services among other factors, thus 4

contributing to their vulnerability. Poignant examples have splashed the headlines and have given us a glimpse of the situation; however, a thorough understanding of COVID-19’s impacts on racialized communities does not yet exist.

We urge the Vancouver City Council and the Province of B.C. to take action on health inequities by

● Mandating the collection, use and analysis of disaggregated, socio-demographic and race-based data in health and social service sectors; and

● Ensuring that the collection of data is led by critical race researchers who identify as having racialized identities and experiences to ensure that the data collection measures meaningfully contribute to building a culturally safe health care system and is not used for any other purposes.

PROPOSED MOTION: That the Vancouver Board of Education request the Ministry of Education to work with stakeholders and the community to develop curriculum, learning resources and professional development related to Canadian Black History. Moreover, that the VSB inform the Ministry of Education of its willingness to pilot curriculum, learning resources and professional development in this subject. RATIONALE: With the new Vancouver School District Resource Teacher Anti-Racism position, there has been a tremendous creation of educational initiatives with Canadian Black History content. In a short time, she has created an anti-racism lead in each school and provided books and booklists to school libraries, collaborated to create beautiful Black History Month displays at the Ed Center, numerous Professional Development opportunities on Anti-Black racism; Anti-racism youth summit, walking tour of Hogan’s Alley, etc. Moreover, there is a development of a BAA course related to Black History Month, in partnership with Yasin Kiraga from African Descent Society. These new initiatives need to be widely shared and expanded upon. The Vancouver district has begun some of the work, we need the province to take on this role – to support our initiatives.

It is crucial to work with stakeholders and the communities to ensure agreement and mutual responsibility. A whole range of discussions around the new curriculum model, “in-service/professional-development”, various grade levels, and relevancy needs to be had to ensure a positive support.

We need to develop these educational tools to positively reflect an important historical part of our population. Not only to reflect our students; as well as, to have all students be able to share and discuss this significant part of our Black history.

There have been recent comments from the Ministry of Education in support of resources and curriculum around Canadian Black History.

Item 9.2

"That the BCSTA request the Ministry of Education to review and incorporate Canadian Black History into the learning objectives of BC School curriculum. This includes their contributions and recognizes the adverse effects of policies and racism on their communities" RATIONALE: With the new Vancouver School District Resource Teacher Anti-Racism position, there has been a tremendous creation of educational initiatives with Canadian Black History content. In a short time, she has created an anti-racism lead in each school and provided books and booklists to school libraries, collaborated to create beautiful Black History Month displays at the Ed Center, numerous Professional Development opportunities on Anti-Black racism; Anti-racism youth summit, walking tour of Hogan’s Alley, etc. Moreover, there is a development of a BAA course related to Black History Month, in partnership with Yasin Kiraga from African Descent Society.

Date: June 22, 2020 TO: Board of Education FROM: Allan Wong, Trustee RE: Notice of Motion – BCSTA – Incidents of Racism Database REFERENCE TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal 3: Create a culture of care and shared social responsibility.

Objective:

• Encourage and enhance practices that support cultural, emotional, physical, and mental well-being.

• Increase knowledge, awareness, appreciation of, and respect for Indigenous histories, traditions, cultures, and contributions by all students through eliminating institutional, cultural, and individual racism within the Vancouver school district learning communities.

• Respect and celebrate all forms of diversity.

Goal 4: Provide effective leadership, governance, and stewardship.

Objective: • Support effective communication, engagement, and community partnerships.

PROPOSED MOTION: That the Vancouver Board of Education send the following resolution to the British Columbia School Trustees Association (BCSTA) for debate and adoption: "That the BCSTA request the Ministry of Education to initiate and maintain a database for incidents of racism in schools in British Columbia.” RATIONALE:

In 2019, the Vancouver District’s new District Resource Teacher Anti-Racism position was filled. Within one short year, much has been achieved in supporting K-12 schools with ongoing educational initiatives, preventative and restorative practices, continued collaboration with teachers, counsellors, administrators and parents. The position is proactively addressing and responding to incidents involving racism.

Item 9.3

This mentor initiated Anti-Racism leads in every school and a District Council of Student Anti-Racism leads.

We offer a “How to respond to Racism in Schools” poster with QR codes linked to resources for students, parents and school staff. This motion is an important extension of connecting directly with what our students and staff may be experiencing. What if the next step is to provide an additional link for students and staff to report incidents of racism. Moreover, to have this organized on a provincial level.

I have read one particular email from a student of a specific incidence of racism where it was brushed off as a joke and ignored. The mental damage of this is lasting. Although the database does not fix this, it does provide an important barometer of racial ignorance/hate in the education system.

We need to know the ongoing extent of racial incidents. Also, we need to understand the extent of the situation amongst the BIPOC community (and even between the BIPOC community).

“We all have a key and critical role to play in anti-racism education as we work to address systemic bias and discrimination in ensuring all staff, students and families are safe, respected, welcome and truly included”

Date: 2020 June 22 TO: Board of Education FROM: Barb Parrott, Trustee RE: Notices of Motion – Racism and Discrimination REFERENCE TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal 3: Create a culture of care and shared social responsibility Objective:

• Not really one that applies, ergo one of my motions PROPOSED MOTIONS: That the following motion be sent to the Student Learning and Well-Being Committee: That the Racism and Discrimination Strategic Plan include anti-racism as a guiding principal and that the goals explicitly stated ensuring school communities are safe from racism and discrimination. That the following motion be sent to the Policy and Governance Committee for advice: That VBE Policy 21 be amended to add “Anti-Racism and” at the beginning of its title. RATIONALE: A movement is afoot. The VBE has a responsibility to be a participant in the movement. We have an obligation to ensure our students can learn in an environment free from hate, racism, and discrimination. If we don’t learn from history, we will repeat it. Black, Indigenous, and POC must see themselves reflected in what they learn, in what they read, in major contributions to society.

Our language needs to be concise. The word “racism” needs to be in our policy. See it, say it.

Item 9.4

Date: June 22, 2020 TO: Board of Education FROM: Trustees Janet Fraser, Barb Parrott, Lois Chan-Pedley RE: Notice of Motion – Review of VPD/RCMP Role in Schools REFERENCE TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal 3: Create a culture of care and shared social responsibility
