Funding Estimator Program for 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14

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.
