2025-26 Revised Estimates

Submission Instructions

The 2025-26 Revised Estimates forms are provided in the Education Finance Information System (EFIS).

School boards are required to:

  • submit their Revised Estimates to the ministry through EFIS
  • submit a copy of the following documents in PDF, from their active EFIS submission:
    • Certificate of Director of Education
    • Compliance Report
    • In-Year Deficit Elimination Plan, if required

The files should be uploaded to the FAAB SharePoint site.

For the PDF files from the active EFIS submission, only the Certificate from the Director of Education requires the Director of Education’s signature. Please follow the naming convention “DSB#_DSB Name_2025-2026 RE Supporting Docs”.

A printable version of the instructions is available here.

The due date for submission of EFIS and all supporting documents is December 15, 2025.

Late Submissions

It is important that school boards meet the due dates above as the information is needed for the interim reporting in the provincial budget. If the school board is unable to meet the reporting deadline due to extenuating circumstances, please contact your ministry financial analyst to discuss the need for an extension to the due date.

If the submission is not received by the due date (or extended due date, if applicable), the ministry may implement cash flow withholding until the submission is received. The cash withholding amount is equal to a 50% reduction in the school board’s regular cash flow. Upon submission of the Revised Estimates, the ministry will revert back to the normal monthly payment process and will include in the monthly payment the total amount withheld up to that point.
