In April 2020, school districts were informed that the Province of B.C. had initiated a process for government organizations to record and report on financial transactions that are incremental to regular operations due to a specific major event. The intent of the process is to facilitate consistent financial reporting by the Ministry of Finance across the entire government reporting entity.

Effective December 6, 2021, and continuing until further notice, the government has identified the Extreme Weather that has occurred in Fall 2021 as an additional major reporting event. 

Effective April 1, 2022, and continuing until further notice, the government has identified the Settlement of Displaced Ukrainians as an additional major reporting event. 

Ministries, crown agencies, School Districts, Universities, Colleges, and Health Authorities are to track incremental and necessary costs that are incurred as a direct result of these “major reporting events” for the purpose of consistent government-wide reporting. 

Districts are to report costs and savings in the 2025-26 School Year for the period ended December 31, 2025. This report is due January 16, 2026.
