Section 3C - Indigenous Education Supports Allocation
This allocation has two components:
- Board Action Plan (BAP) Component
- Indigenous Education Lead (IEL) Component
All Indigenous education funding is enveloped, including components under the Classroom Staffing Fund, Indigenous Education Supports Allocation (Section 2D). Refer to Data Form A2 - Indigenous Education for reporting related to the envelope.
Board Action Plan (BAP) Component
The BAP Component is calculated based on ADE, benchmarks, and table amounts in the funding regulation.
Indigenous Education Lead (IEL) Component
The IEL expenses and FTE are loaded based on information entered on the INPUT - LRF 3B, 3C, 3D, 3F, 3H tab. In order to generate full funding under the IEL Component, school boards must employ an IEL.
-
If no salary expenses are reported at item 2.4, then there will not be any IEL base funding generated at item 2.10, and no amounts will be transferred to the BAP envelope at item 2.11.
-
If a school board does employ an IEL and reports salary expenses at item 2.4, then they will generate the full funding from item 2.3. Any underspending on the IEL (up to the maximum value at item 2.3) is transferred to the BAP envelope at item 2.11 (which is then loaded to Data Form A2-IE, item 1.4).
-
School boards also must confirm whether they employ a dedicated IEL (one who holds only this portfolio within the school board), by selecting “Yes” or “No” from the drop-down menu at item 2.0. Note that an error message (Error_LRF_C_1) ensures that a selection has been made.
