4 Education Funding Sources The education property tax is pooled into the Alberta School Foundation Fund, and then distributed among Alberta's public and separate school boards on an equal per-student basis The total amount of education property tax is based on 32 percent of Education s operating cost Using two revenue streams provides stability for education funding and ensures equitable access of quality education for all students across Alberta 4
5 Funding Framework Three Pillars Funding Method of allocating funds equitably Approximately 25 different grants Addresses common costs as well as unique characteristics and circumstances of school authorities Flexibility Majority of funding is flexible Only a few targeted grants must be used for the purpose provided Supports local decision making Accountability Measuring achievement and improvement Using results to improve programs for students Transparency for how school boards use their financial resources Types of Grants Base Instruction Largest component of funding Provided for every eligible full-time equivalent student ECS to Grade 9 per student basis Grades 10 to 12 based on credit enrolment units (CEUs) Differential Funding Based on the unique characteristics of each authority Demographic the types of students served Geographic area of the province in which students live Economic economic conditions under which students are served Examples: Inclusive Education, Equity of Opportunity, Transportation, Plant, Operations and Maintenance, English as a Second Language, First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI), Socio-Economic Status 100% Flexible Targeted Funding Provided for specific provincial initiatives Must be used for the initiative for which it was provided Examples: Regional Collaborative Service Delivery, SuperNet 5
