The Sooke School District (No. 62) manages a $188 million education operation on Vancouver Island where 80.8% of expenditures go directly to compensation — because in a school district, teachers and staff are the program. With 40 years of registration, perfect filing history, and healthy reserves of 8.7 months, this is a well-managed public education institution.
Our Verdict: A large, publicly governed school district with strong institutional fundamentals. The high compensation ratio is inherent to education delivery, and 8.7 months of reserves provides solid financial stability — donors supporting this district can be confident in its stewardship.
