Section 3E - Student Safety and Well-Being Allocation

This allocation has three components, which are all enveloped collectively on Data Form A2 - Student Safety and Well-Being.

1. Well-Being and Positive School Climates Component

This component is calculated as a base amount and a per pupil amount.

2. Safe and Accepting Schools Component

This component includes amounts for Prevention and Program Support and Professional Staff Support. Both amounts are calculated based on ADE, benchmarks, and table amounts from the funding regulation; they each also include dispersion amounts that use the same dispersion distance table amount as that used for the Remote and Rural components under CSF (Section 2C, item 4.3.1) and LRF (Section 3B, item 8.3.1).

• The 2021 census data is being phased in over 5 years beginning in 2024-25. Because this only affects calculation of the demographic amounts, there are separate demographic values calculated using the 2006 census and 2021 census table amounts. These are then used to calculate separate 2006 and 2021 amounts for Prevention and Program Support and Professional Staff Support, which are phased in over 5 years. In 2025-26, the calculations use 60% of the 2006 census values and 40% of the 2021 census values.

3. Urban and Priority High Schools Component

This is a table amount in the funding regulation.
