Comox Valley Schools has begun to shape priorities for the district’s 2026-2027 preliminary budget. A public survey is now open until February 20th.

The District says they are launching budget engagement earlier this year to strengthen transparency, collaboration, and shared understanding of the financial context that shapes decisions about student learning and school services.

“Community voice plays an important role in helping align our resources with our values and our strategic priorities,” said Board Chairperson Michelle Waite.

“By beginning this process earlier, we are hoping to create more space for meaningful dialogue and collective stewardship.”

The public survey invites participants to share their perspectives on which strategic design principles should receive particular focus in the coming year and provides space for suggestions for the board to consider as it examines budget priorities.

All feedback will be compiled and presented to the Board of Education at a meeting March 10, which is open to the public.
