Dividing the Dollar:

How Alberta Education Funding Supports CBE Schools

• The entire organization supports student learning
• 78 per cent of the entire CBE budget is for salaries and

benefits

Dividing the CBE’s dollars

• 21 per cent of Alberta Education funding

goes to services and supports that directly support the work of schools. Of this:

• Twelve per cent goes to plant,
• perations and maintenance
• Four per cent goes to transportation
• Three per cent goes

to system administration

• Two per cent goes to external services

Dividing the CBE’s dollars

• 79 per cent of Alberta Education funding

directly supports instruction, with the majority of these funds going directly to schools through the Resource Allocation Method (RAM). This is the school budget and includes:

• Teacher and staff salaries
• Instructional supplies and materials
• RAM allocation is deployed to meet the

needs of all students at the school.

• Funds are not allocated based on specific

students.

School Budget: More About RAM

• RAM funds schools based on enrolment

and student population complexity.

• It also provides instructional supports at

the Area and central level to ensure responsive programming and service delivery.

School Budget: How the RAM Supports Student Learning

• The school budget is the resources we

have to implement our School Development Plan and other supports for student learning. Some of the factors we consider are:

• What are the priority outcomes and

strategies for students?

• What supplies, resources and

equipment is required to support learning goals?

• Do we need to invest in professional

development or mentoring?
