Summary of Proposal:
The Grants for Student Needs Regulation (GSN) is a collection of grants which determines the funding allocation for publicly-funded school boards (72 district school boards and 10 school authorities) in Ontario. The Calculation of Fees for Pupils Regulation specifies the tuition fee amounts that may be charged by publicly-funded school boards for the school year.

These regulations are made annually in accordance with the Education Act. The new regulations and amendments to related regulations are required to flow funding to school boards for the 2023-24 school year and establish accountability requirements. Amendments were also made to previous years' GSN and Fees regulations in order to update expired terms and conditions and outdated dates and information, as well as clarify existing policy.
