  12. Expenditure Project

  13. The Expenditures Project The expenditures project was an in-depth analysis project undertaken by ISC to identify all the education-related funding that was provided in one past fiscal year- broken down to the Band level for each First Nation An actual amount from 2017/2018 was calculated. What were the objectives?: • Determine the government’s actual education-related expenditures (In 2017/18) and attribute them on a per-student basis • Identify which recipients, other than First Nations, received funding on behalf of First Nations students • Compare the total actual education expenditures from 2017/2018, broken down by FN, to the provincially-based funding formulas based on 2017/18 Nominal Roll data. • Gain understanding of the national picture of education funding being distributed across Canada to identify particular issues or exceptions.

  14. Step 1: Delivery Model of Current Education Funding Indigenous Services Canada

  15. Step 2: Analyze 2017/18 Funding • Looked at all education programs: • Reviewed the 70+ different Program Areas (FA’s) offered Under Education to establish amounts for each by recipient • Removed one-time funding to ensure only regular ongoing funding is included (i.e. event funding) • Determined what kind of group is receiving the funding (First Nation, Provincial Board of Education, Service Organization). • Attributed all funding to students • Calculated total funding by band

  16. Step 3: Provide Overview of 2017/18 AllocationsActual funding from 2017/18 for each Nation is presented, includes both direct and indirect funding received.

  17. New Approach

  18. The New Approach = Interim Formula • Review the province’s budgets and funding guides to determine education-related funding rates • Develop outline of funding components and applicable amounts • Formulas will be updated annually to reflect any changes in provincial rates • Finalize nominal roll by school for the preceding school year • Add $1500 per FTE language and culture enhancement • Add FTEs for up to full-time, K4, K5 - 2-year kindergarten funded at new provincially comparable model rates • Add regionally specific enhancements that may have been developed

  19. New Approach New Funding Current Funding 1st Level - New Core Operating Funding Based on Prov Formula with Adaptations 2nd & 3rd Level – Regional Service Agreements – New Core Operating Funding Core Funding Interim Formula New Targeted Funding – HC Sp Ed, Innov’n, EPP Proposal-based Funding *Where applicable a Component of High Cost Special Education will continue as proposal based funding 3

  22. MANITOBA APPROACH

  23. MB Interim Funding Model

  24. INTERIM FUNDING FORMULA • Insufficient funding for unique First Nation student needs for: • language and culture and • closing the gap • Socio Economic gap

  25. Program Delivery – Socio-Economic Realities Community Well-Being Index (CWB) Average CWB Scores, 1981-2006 • There has been progress over the last 25 years in improving the socio-economic conditions in First Nations and Inuit communities. • A significant gap still exists in the socio-economic conditions of First Nations and Inuit communities compared to those of other communities. Source: Statistics Canada, 1981, 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006 Census of Population.The Community Well-Being Indexis expected to be updated using the 2011 National Household Survey later this year.

  32. REPORTING

  33. The Funding Model is only a method for determining the amountand is not intended to prescribe how each First Nation should allocate or expend funding. Each First Nation has the discretion to allocate and expend the funding based on its own budget and expenditure decisions and Education Programming priorities
