These grants are designed to address socio-economic contexts and geographic locations which pose unique challenges to the operation of schools and delivery of educational services.
Socioeconomic Status
The Socioeconomic Status Grant will be allocated based on the following factors in each school authority (using Statistics Canada 2016 census data): mother’s education, lone parent households, home ownership, average income and parents’ post-secondary education.
Geographic
The Geographic Grant will be allocated based a number of variables for each school authority, including rurality, sparsity-distance, and northern location factors, as well as the size of the rural area served by the school jurisdiction.
