Section 4 - Special Education Fund

The Special Education Fund (SEF) supports positive outcomes for students with special education needs. The following allocations make up the SEF:

• SEF - Per Pupil Allocation
• Differentiated Needs Allocation
• Complex Supports Allocation
• Specialized Equipment Allocation (SEA)

Please refer to the Core Education Funding: Technical Guide for School Boards, 2025-26 for details on the funding methodology.

The entire SEF is enveloped for use only on special education. Refer to Data Form A2 - Special Education for reporting related to the envelope.

Unless otherwise indicated, funding is allocated between panels based on amounts generated per panel, or based on the relative ADE of pupils in each panel if the calculation is not broken down by panel.
