Section 7 - School Board Administration Fund

The School Board Administration Fund (SBAF) provides funding to support the operations of the school board, including staffing and non-staffing administration expenses, trustees, parent engagement, central bargaining agency fees, data management, and an adjustment for declining enrolment. The following allocations make up the SBAF:

  • Trustees and Parent Engagement Allocation
  • Board-Based Staffing Allocation
  • Central Employer Bargaining Agency Fees Allocation
  • Data Management and Audit Allocation
  • Declining Enrolment Adjustment (DEA) Allocation

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

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.

Maximum School Board Administration Expenses

There is a spending limit on school board administration expenses. Refer to Compliance - School Board Administration for details.

This tab is for school boards to input data used in the calculations of both the Trustees and Parent Engagement Allocation and the Board-Based Staffing Allocation.

  • Input the number of trustees broken down into: Chair & Vice Chair, Other Trustees (excluding Indigenous), Indigenous representatives, and Student Trustees.

  • Cumulative number of days in the office for all student trustees: Enter the sum of the days each student trustee is in office (e.g., 2 student trustees in office for the whole year and 1 student trustee in office for 300 days would be 1,030 days (2 x 365 days +1 x 300 days)). Note that the number of days in the year is displayed at the bottom of the input form for reference.
