School Tax Support
As per legislation, your school support defaults to the English Public school board. However, you may be able to change your school support. To direct your taxes to a Catholic school board, you must be Roman Catholic or your joint owner/tenant (such as Roman Catholic spouse) may designate the property's support for a Catholic school board.
You'll find information about which school board your property taxes support on your Property Assessment Notice or by visiting mpac.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.
