Community Education & Community Education & Information Meeting Information Meeting 1.Pupil Accommodation Grant - Funding 1.Pupil Accommodation Grant - Funding • Based on enrolment • New Pupil Places Grant (school construction) • School Operations (custodial, utilities, maintenance, minor repairs) • School Renewal (major renovation) Community Education & Community Education & Information Meeting Information Meeting New Pupil Places Grant • Used for School construction • Generated by “need” as defined by Ministry of Education • Calculated separately for elementary and secondary panels • If a board has greater enrolment than capacity in a panel, there is a “need” and the Board is funded 3

Community Education & Information Meeting New Pupil Places Grant Ways to increase grant: – Increase enrolment – Decrease capacity • From 1998-2005, Board could reduce capacity by school consolidation and offering the facility to another board • With 2005 changes to Funding Model, school consolidation no longer generates additional grant Community Education & Information Meeting New Pupil Places Grant • TCDSB eligible in secondary panel • In 2002-03, the Board became eligible for funding in the elementary panel by consolidating schools • Due to declining enrolment, the Board was no longer eligible for funding in the elementary panel beginning in 2003-04. • Board receives $18M in annual NPP grant . 4
