2. SEA Claims-Based Component

This component provides funding to school boards for equipment required by a specific student with special education needs, following a claims process. Refer to the Specialized Equipment Allocation (SEA) 2024-25 directives for more details.

  • In the Estimates and Revised Estimates, values are loaded to item 2 based on input on the 4D. INPUT - SEA tab.

  • In the Financial Statements, actual approved values are loaded by the ministry.

ℹ️
Please note that the SEA claims that have been loaded here are based on your school SEA Claims submission to the Ministry’s Field Services Office, which is still undergoing final approvals, and therefore are subject to change. Please consult with your school board SEA Claims lead to verify that these numbers reflect your board’s submission. You may contact your regional Ministry of Education SEA Claims Education Regional Officer if you have additional questions.
