Abstract | The current condition of educational finance in Ontario and the factors influencing efforts at finance reform are examined in this report. Five key issues confronting school finance in Ontario are reviewed first: inequities caused by variations in district wealth; the failure of provincial support to keep pace with expenditures; the loss of efficiency due to the rapid rise in expenditures; the need to fund upper grades in Catholic separate schools; and the fiscal autonomy of school boards. Four options for financing education are examined next: adapting the current "mill rate equalization" grant plan to accommodate the Catholic schools; maintaining the current plan but with revised weighting of students; instituting a foundation grant plan with a variable foundation level; and adopting a resource cost model for funding on a program basis. The report then presents scenarios exploring how four different systems for organizing the schools would interact with each of the financing models in light of the key issues noted earlier. The organizational systems examined are structured with varying emphases on differences in students' language, religion, and grade level. The report concludes with a prediction about the combination of organizational structure and financing method most likely to be adopted. (PGD) |
