Technical paper
The Technical paper 2022-23 contains:

These are used to calculate school boards’ 2022-23 allocations for budgeting and financial reporting purposes.
Addendum to the 2022-23 technical paper: education funding modifications for isolate board school authorities
In Ontario, there are four isolate board school authorities which require modified funding formulas due to their unique circumstances, including the remoteness of their locations and that each isolate board operates only one school. These isolate boards are:
- James Bay Lowlands Secondary School Board (SSB)
- Moose Factory Island District School Area Board (DSAB)
- Moosonee District School Area Board (DSAB)
- Penetanguishene Protestant Separate School Board (PSSB)
Funding for the four isolate boards follows the same methodology as outlined in the technical paper with the specific modifications that are outlined in this addendum.
