Summary of Decision:
Approve in-year amendments to the regulations needed each year to update preliminary information contained in the regulation to reflect updated information (e.g., enrolment and staffing) provided to the ministry by school boards as well as other technical adjustments, if any.
Analysis of Regulatory Impact:
There is no regulatory impact on for-profit business, not-for-profits or the Broader Public Sector.
These amendments would ensure that the GSN funding regulations fully reflect the government's policy goals for elementary and secondary education; funding is flowed to school boards under proper legal authority; and there is accountability for this major transfer program.
