Sch 12 & 13 Enrolment

This form is used to collect current year board-level enrolment data, as well as prior year enrolment and other data used in the calculation of the Declining Enrolment Adjustment (DEA) Allocation on Section 7E. It includes several different tabs that require data entry. For all tabs, input data relating to FTE and ADE are to be reported to two decimal places. PLAR completed challenges are reported to one decimal place. All other input enrolment data on this schedule are whole numbers.

Pupils of the board

Pupils of a board are defined in each year’s funding regulation. A pupil of the board is generally defined as a student who satisfies the conditions for the right to attend a publicly funded elementary or secondary school without the payment of fees as outlined under the Education Act.

Average Daily Enrolment (ADE) had been redefined since the 2013-14 introduction of the 34-credit threshold, which included the creation of the “high-credit” day school ADE category for secondary pupils. For details on the 34-credit threshold, please refer to the Enrolment Register Instructions for Elementary and Secondary Schools, found on the FAAB website in the Pupil Enrolment section.

Other pupils

Other pupils are defined in each year’s funding regulation, and are required to pay tuition fees. For more details regarding tuition-paying students as defined in regulation, please refer to the Enrolment Register Instructions for Elementary and Secondary Schools, found on the FAAB website in the Pupil Enrolment section.

TAB: Sch 13 Pupils of the Board

This tab should be completed AFTER the School Level Data form has been completed, since the calculations depend on the total full-time equivalent which is calculated on that form. The data on this tab appears on the report for Schedule 13-1 Day School Enrolment - Pupils of the Board.

The enrolment data for day school pupils of the board should be reported on this tab. The number of full-time and number of part-time pupils at October 31 and March 31 must be input, which for secondary includes the number of high-credit pupils. The information is used to calculate the FTE for part-time pupils at the board level. The FTE of full-time and part-time high-credit pupils should also be input, as well as the headcount and FTE for pupils of the boards who are age 21 and over.

  • For all rows other than those for high-credit pupils and those age 21 years and over, the values in column 5 (Full-Time Equivalent) are aggregated from input on the School Level Data form.

  • For elementary under age 21, the FTE of full-time pupils (col. 3) is simply the value input in column 1 as the number of full-time pupils. The FTE of part-time pupils (col. 4) is the full-time equivalent (col. 5) minus the number of full-time pupils (col. 1).

  • For pupils 21 years and over (both elementary at items 1.5.1 / 1.12.1 and secondary at items 1.7 / 1.14), values are input on this form for number of full-time pupils, number of part-time pupils, and FTE of part-time pupils. The FTE of Full-Time Pupils (col. 3) is equal to the number of full-time pupils from col. 1; and the Full-Time Equivalent (col. 5) is the sum of FTEs of full-time (col. 3) and part-time pupils (col. 4).

  • For secondary under age 21, the FTE of full-time pupils (col. 3) equals the number of full-time pupils (input in col. 1) minus the FTE of high-credit pupils (input in col. 3, item 1.6.1 for October or item 1.13.1 for March). The FTE of part-time pupils is then calculated as the Full-Time Equivalent (col. 5) minus the FTE of full-time non-high-credit pupils (col. 3).

  • Supervised Alternative Learning (SAL) pupils who receive less than 70 minutes of instruction per day are considered part-time students with 0.5 FTE.

  • All other SAL pupils (i.e., those who receive at least 70 minutes of instruction) are included in the Number of Full-Time Pupils column. However, to determine the regular and high-credit FTE of the secondary full-time SAL pupils, multiply the pupil’s minutes of instruction by their high-credit factor. If the remaining number is at least 70, enter 1 for the pupil in the Number of Full-Time Pupils column on the Grades 9 to 12 line.

The data on this tab appears on the report for Schedule 12 Enrolment - Continuing Education and Other Programs. Note that manual input into this schedule is required in all three EFIS cycles. Although school boards report the continuing education and summer school enrolment data to OnSIS, the deadlines for the EFIS Financial Statements do not align with the OnSIS reporting timeline.

The values input here are used in the funding calculations for several components within the Learning Resources Fund on Section 3F Continuing Education and Other Programs Allocation. For further details on amounts to be reported, please refer to the Enrolment Register Instructions for Continuing Education Programs, found on the FAAB website in the Pupil Enrolment section.

  • In the Estimates and Revised Estimates, only the total equivalent ADE (column 5) is reported. In the Financial Statements, the breakdown of the equivalent ADE into September to June and July to August is required.

    • If the small class adjustment is applicable as outlined above, it is calculated as follows:

      • If the number of pupils in the class is at least 10 but less than 15, the number is increased to 15.
      • If the number of pupils in the class is less than 10, the number is increased by 5.
  • Exclude enrolment in respect of pupils to whom the board charges fees per the Calculation of Fees Regulation.
