Capital Planning

Last updated on March 28, 2025

The capital plan submissions from boards of education are used by the Ministry of Education and Child Care to determine which priority capital projects may be included in the ministry’s capital plan for the following fiscal year. The capital plan submissions also provide the ministry with important insight into future year capital priorities, which can be used for longer term government planning and the determination of potential future capital funding requirements for the public education system.
