[Translation] Mr. Speaker, I have a return to Written Question asked by Ms. Bisaro on May 30, 2014, regarding the GNWT funding provided to education councils and authorities.

The Department of Education, Culture and Employment allocates school contributions based on School Funding Framework, which determines allocations primarily based on the number of full-time equivalent students.

Later today, at the appropriate time, I will table “Enrolments and Contributions by Education Authority,” which provides total student enrolments by education authority in September 2013, as the determining factor in calculating 2014-2015 school year contributions. The “Enrolments and Contributions by Education Authority” document also lists basic school contribution funding allocations by education authority for the 2014-2015 school year, in total, as well as specifically for inclusive schooling and Aboriginal languages and cultural programs. Not shown in the “Enrolments and Contributions by Education Authority” document are additional contributions to education authorities, such as for extraordinary enrolment, student success initiatives and staff benefits that are distributed throughout the school year.

Because the Yellowknife education authorities are expected to collect school property taxes as revenue, the contributions provided to these authorities represents approximately 82 percent of the calculated amount as per the school funding formula. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
