Thanks, Madam Chair, and thanks to the Minister for that. What's the date of that report? Thank you.

Yes. November -- or January 2020, something like that. I had a press conference that day, and it turned into a bit of a disaster. So that's a -- and no really report on the ERI, so. It was very early in the term. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair, and thanks to the Minister. Let's avoid further disasters. Maybe the Minister might think about another report. I don't know how extensive the last one was but if it was a couple years ago, it might be time to redo or find another way to report on progress with ERI. That's a friendly suggestion. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you. We do have an online progress tracker that is tracking those -- the progress of the last action plan which is related to ERI. And so we have that, and I'm not -- you know, we do do a lot evaluations in ECE. Ten years ago, it might not -- might not have been the way, but there's a lot of effort put in to ensuring that what we're doing is working, and so I can ask the deputy minister what the plans are for any sort of ERI evaluation. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I thought the Minister was asking his staff to provide some further information. Thanks.

I didn't have my ear plate. It was buzzing so I can't hear. So deputy minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So with respect to ERI, we are in the final action plan which, as the Minister mentioned, is an OHE action plan as well. So we did, as part of ERI, have five year or a half way mark evaluation, which is the one the Minister mentioned for 2020. And there's an intention to have a final or a summative action plan or evaluation for the end of the ten-year ERI framework.
I will also mention that as part of that midpoint review, we did commit to providing annual updates on a number of difference indicators across the JK to 12 system. So within the next few weeks, actually, there will be a 19, 20 indicator's report to provide a more iterative response or an update. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks. No, that's great. I appreciate being educated about the education renewal and innovation strategy. Thanks, Madam Chair. That's all I had.

Thank you. And then just so I could, you know, provide a bit more context.
So ECE doesn't deliver education. That's what the education bodies do. And so what ERI really is, it's a way for us to contribute to the education system in a number of ways. And so some of the projects under ERI were the Our Languages curriculum, which I think is something that we can all be proud of. The New to the North Educators Conference, so when we get many of our southern teachers, we bring them together and we provide information about the Northwest Territories and its peoples, supports for small community school principals, who have a very unique job and it's tough for someone to be thrown into that role, and so we provide supports for them through this. The support assistance certification process, that is something that came out of ERI. So these are a number of the ways that we are trying to use our role as sort of a coordinating agency to contribute to the education system. So I just wanted to add that. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm wondering if the Itlo School, formerly Sissons, is all on track and ready to open?

Always happy to hear that. I asked some questions today at session about the funding formula, and I want to get into that. I guess just as a start, can I confirm, so the plan is to go back to the regular funding formula which would see schools for the upcoming year have funding based on September 2021 enrolment, is that correct?
