This is a&nbsp;deficit budget balanced through the use of reserve funds.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The approved budget complies with Ministry of Education requirements and includes:</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Operating expenditures&nbsp;of&nbsp;$316.8 million, representing a $73,000 decrease compared to the previous year.</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Capital expenditures&nbsp;of&nbsp;$23.7 million, allocated to school condition improvements and renewal projects.</span></li></ul><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The vast majority of the operating budget is directed to student instruction and relates directly to classroom support. Capital funding is used to fund school condition improvements and school renewal projects.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Board continues to face financial pressures in several key areas, including:</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Special Education</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Staff Replacement</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Student Transportation</span></li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Statutory Benefits</span></li></ul><h2 class="editor-heading-h2"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Resources</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">:</span></h2><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem"><a href="https://www.limestone.on.ca/documents/cc327962-05b2-4cac-b89e-711e1e75ca27/2026-06-16-Budget-Overview.pdf?fingerprint=ppb20260623145224" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">2026-2027 Budget Overview</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> (PDF)</span></li></ul>

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Education has shared a letter for students, parents and families: </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Students, Parents and Families,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To our amazing students: well done on finishing another school year! This is a good time to celebrate everything you have accomplished over the past several months. You worked hard, took on challenges, learned new things and continued to grow. You should be proud of all you have achieved this year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As you begin your summer break, take time to rest, explore your interests, and enjoy time with family and friends. However you choose to spend your summer, I hope you make the most of the months ahead.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To the graduating Class of 2026, congratulations on reaching this important milestone. Graduation marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Whether your next step is college, university, an apprenticeship, the workforce or another pathway, I wish you every success in the years ahead.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As families look ahead to September and the start of a new school year, there are a few things to keep in mind. Ontario schools will continue to focus on helping students build strong foundations in reading, writing and math while preparing them for success beyond the classroom. Students in elementary schools will learn from the same core materials and benefit from a revised Kindergarten curriculum focused on foundational literacy, math and science skills. In Grade 7 and 8, updated History courses will include new mandatory content on the history of Black Canadians.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In high schools, students in Grade 10 History will have new learning about Black history, the Holocaust and Holodomor. Students will also be required to demonstrate financial literacy as part of earning their high school diploma. To help provide clearer expectations and a more comprehensive picture of student achievement, high school students will complete written final exams during a dedicated exam period, and attendance and classroom participation will form part of their final grade. Together, these changes will help students stay engaged in their learning and be better prepared for life after graduation.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I hope the summer ahead provides an opportunity to recharge and enjoy some well-earned time together. I wish you and your family a safe, happy and enjoyable summer.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Sincerely,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Honourable Paul Calandra Minister of Education</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><a href="/documents/1fba83f3-9f1b-4d60-a77c-3bc15cd094c8/Year-End-Letter-to-Students-and-Parents.pdf?fingerprint=ppb20260617152216" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Year End Letter to Students, Parents, and Families from The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Education - English</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> (PDF)</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><a href="/documents/1466db2e-00ea-40f2-b63d-8d3f65d04a0d/Lettre-concernant-la-fin-de-l-ann-e-scolaire-l-intention-des-l-ves-et-des-parents.pdf?fingerprint=ppb20260617152354" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Year End Letter to Students, Parents, and Families from The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Education - French</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> (PDF)</span></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In August 2026, four Limestone District School Board (LDSB) students will represent the Canadian Ice Stock Federation (CISF) at the U16 European Stock Sport Championships in Oberwart, Austria.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Representing Loughborough Public School are Caleb Hammer and Preston Klein, both in their final year of elementary school. They will be joined by Jayden Kermeen of Frontenac Secondary School and Lucas Hammer of Sydenham High School.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Often described as a combination of curling and bocce, stock sport originated centuries ago in the Alpine regions of Austria and Germany. Players slide a stock toward a target, known as a daube, using precision and strategy to place it closer than their opponents. While the sport began on ice, it is now played on both ice and non-ice surfaces using specialized equipment.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This August’s European Championships will mark the first time a Canadian youth team has competed in an international stock sport event. The team will compete against athletes from several nations in Austria, widely considered the heart of the sport. These LDSB students are not only representing Canada—they are making history. This experience will also provide a unique opportunity for international competition and cultural exchange.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To help offset travel and accommodation costs, the team has been actively fundraising and seeking sponsorship support. Their next major fundraiser will be a Schnitzel Dinner on July 18, 2026, at Golden Links Hall in Harrowsmith, with both dine-in and take-out options available. Tickets are $25 and include schnitzel, sauerkraut, and German potato salad.

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board (LDSB) Education Centre, along with schools across the district, is recognizing Pride Month in the KFL&amp;A region by flying the Progress Pride Flag for the remainder of the school year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Government of Canada notes that the manner in which the Canadian flag is displayed is not governed by legislation. The guidelines provided are not mandatory for individuals or organizations but are intended to offer general direction.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">After consultation and clarification from Heritage Canada and communication with trustees, LDSB schools with only one flagpole will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag for the balance of this school year.&nbsp; Limestone’s goal will be to increase the number of schools with more than one flagpole and/or the addition of yardarms to existing flagpoles to display more than the Canadian flag. Until this goal is achieved, we will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag at sites with only one flagpole.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Displaying the Progress Pride Flag is a way for LDSB to show support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. This recognition does not diminish our respect for Canada’s national flag; rather, it reflects our commitment to ensuring that all students, staff, and families feel welcomed, valued, and respected in Limestone schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Flying the Progress Pride Flag is one example of how LDSB demonstrates its inclusive culture. As a publicly funded school board, we have both a legal and moral responsibility to create learning environments where everyone can see themselves reflected and feel a sense of belonging.</span></p>
