Funding Estimator Program for 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13

Funding and Compliance makes available to boards a tool to assist in estimating their funding for the next three years.

The Estimator is in the form of an Excel workbook and can be input with a district's projected enrolments to estimate a particular year's funding.

A customised Estimator for a district will be provided on request by e-mail to Michael Lebrun@gov.bc.ca.
