School Tax Support
By default, your property taxes support your municipality's English public school board. However, you may be able to change the school board that your taxes support.
You'll find information about which school board your property taxes support on your Property Assessment Notice or by visiting voterlookup.ca
As a registered Catholic school supporter, you have the opportunity to elect trustees who will represent and address your interests and concerns at the school board level and at various levels of the government.
Registering your Catholic school support ensures your school board’s assessment roll is accurate. This is important because:
- Your school board’s assessment base is a public record of the breadth of support for Catholic schools
- It helps track demographic trends for educational planning purposes
- It guarantees your right to enroll your children in Catholic schools. However, we do welcome non-Catholic children to our schools.
Benefits of changing your school support
In addition to supporting the board that best reflects your educational preferences, you will be able to vote in the next municipal election for trustees for the school board that you support.
If you do not have children registered at a Superior North Catholic District School Board school, you can still choose to support Catholic education.
The process to change your school board support
To change the school board designation that The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) has on file for you, please follow these steps:
- You must complete and attach an Application for Direction of School Support form.
- If you are Roman Catholic but your joint owner or leaseholder is not, and you want to change your designation to a Catholic board, you must complete and submit a Separate School Lease Agreement.
- Using mail or email, please send MPAC your Application for Direction of School Support and Separate School Lease Agreement (if applicable)
