2020/21 Interim Operating Grants
Government is providing an additional $96 million in operating grants to school districts this year for a total of $5.495 billion.
Children and youth in care, children living in low income families and a greater number of students with mental health challenges will benefit from a new $23-million supplement being allocated to school districts in 2020/21.
The ministry is improving equity in the system by continuing to increase funding to support students with special needs and Indigenous education. Students with special needs are being supported with $627 million in supplemental funding in 2020/21. Indigenous learners will benefit from $90.9 million in supplemental funding in 2020/21.

Funding Estimator Program for 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23
Funding and Allocation makes available to boards a tool to assist in estimating their funding for the next three years.
The Estimator is in the form of an Excel workbook and can be input with a district's projected enrolments to estimate a particular year's funding.
A customized Estimator for a district will be provided on request by e-mail to Michael Lebrun.
