This is from an outsiders perspective, but it's my understanding that funding is granted on registration to the school, and school boards are pretty medieval in their decision making process to alter any potential funding miscalculations or mishaps. The school probably had no choice but to play the games they did with the school board, to hold a portion of funding for whatever happens in the next school year.
I know of a school where when they changed to 'fighting covid' with enhanced sanitation, it became very clear that the ventilation, as well as the physical standard of the school itself, was sadly lacking. A doctor in Calgary prepared a paper identifying the school as potentially having 'sick building syndrome', which could result in a number of ailments presenting themselves to staff and students. Followed by absolute silence.
School boards are generally not very forthcoming, and the Ministry even less so.
