Analysis of Regulatory Impact:
These regulatory changes will impact the school board sector and will not impact for-profit business, not-for-profits or the rest of the Broader Public Sector.
The costs associated with implementing the accountability requirements stipulated under the various GSN and GSN-related regulations are supported by the funding derived from the regulations themselves, and therefore pose no additional cost or burden to school boards that is not supported by the funding. School board stakeholders were made aware of the changes in advance and had time to contact the Ministry if there were concerns around the proposed action taken.
