16.1 Determine the retirement gratuity allocation for the board calculated under section 33.1.

16.2 Apply the percentage specified in Table 8 for retirement gratuities to the amount determined under paragraph 16.1.

17. Determine the amount, if any, calculated for the board under subsection 46 (2) as a phase-in funding deduction amount. Apply the percentage determined for the board under subsection (9) to that amount.

18. Determine the amount, if any, calculated for the board under subsection 47 (2) as a phase-in funding addition amount. Apply the percentage determined for the board under subsection (9) to that amount.

19. Total the amounts determined for the board under paragraphs 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 16.2.

20. Where paragraph 17 applies to the board, deduct the amount obtained for the board under that paragraph from the amount obtained for the board under paragraph 19.

21. Where paragraph 18 applies to the board, add the amount obtained for the board under that paragraph from the amount obtained for the board under paragraph 19. O. Reg. 287/98, s. 51 (8); O. Reg. 537/98, s. 4.

(9) For the purposes of paragraphs 17 and 18 of subsection (8), the board shall determine a percentage that reasonably corresponds to the way in which the board actually applies the phase-in funding deduction amount or phase-in funding addition amount, as the case may be, to classroom expenditures in the 1998-99 fiscal year.

(10) A board shall be deemed to be in compliance with subsection (5) where its 1998-99 classroom expenditure allocation, calculated in accordance with subsection (8), exceeds its 1998-99 net classroom expenditure amount, calculated in accordance with subsection (6), if the board demonstrates, in a written report to the Minister, that the excess is accounted for by reason of expenditures other than non-classroom expenditures.

(11) For example,

(a) an amount paid on account of a part of a deficit from a previous year where the part of the deficit is reasonably attributable to classroom expenditures is not a non-classroom expenditure; and

(b) an amount placed in a reserve fund for classroom expenditures is not a non-classroom expenditure. O. Reg. 287/98, s. 51 (9-11).

(12) In making the determination under subsection (9), the board shall not apply the phase-in funding addition amount to expenditures that are not classroom expenditures and shall not apply the phase-in funding deduction amount to expenditures that are classroom expenditures if doing so would reduce the board’s 1998-99 net classroom expenditure allocation, calculated in accordance with subsection (8), to an amount lower than the amount for the board set out in the column entitled “1997 Net Expenditure” and the row entitled “9 Sub-total” in the Table entitled “Classroom — Non-classroom Summary Report”, which Table was released by the Ministry to school boards on March 25, 1998 and is available for public inspection at the offices of the Ministry of Education and Training, 900 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M7A 1L2. O. Reg. 469/98, s. 4.

52. (1) Subject to subsection (2), a district school board shall ensure that an amount equal to the special education allocation determined for the board under section 14, less the programs in facilities amount determined for the board under section 19, is spent in the 1998-99 fiscal year on special education for pupils of the board.

(2) Where a board’s expenditure on special education for its pupils in the 1998-99 fiscal year is less than the result obtained by subtracting the programs in facilities amount determined for the board under section 19 from the special education allocation determined for the board under section 14, the board shall place the difference in the board’s special education reserve fund.

(3) This section shall not be interpreted as limiting the amount that a board may spend on special education. O. Reg. 287/98, s. 52.

53. (1) Subject to subsection (2), a district school board shall ensure that an amount equal to the total of the following three amounts is spent in the 1998-99 fiscal year on the acquisition of capital assets:

1. The amount determined for the board under subsection 37 (7) for school renewal.

2. The amount determined for the board under subsection 37 (8) for new pupil places.

3. The amount determined for the board under subsection 37 (13) for leased instructional space. O. Reg. 560/98, s. 3.

(2) Where a board’s expenditure in the 1998-99 fiscal year on the acquisition of capital assets is less than the total amount referred to in subsection (1), the board shall place the difference in the board’s pupil accommodation allocation reserve fund. O. Reg. 212/99, s. 6.

(3) This section shall not be interpreted as limiting the amount that a board may spend on the acquisition of capital assets. O. Reg. 287/98, s. 53 (3).

54. (1) It is a condition of the payment of a grant to a district school board under this Regulation that,

(a) the board manage its estimates process and its expenditures so that the total of its administration expenditures and governance expenditures in the 1998-99 fiscal year does not exceed the administration and governance allocation amount determined for it under section 36; or

(b) the board submit the plan referred to in subsection (6).

(2) For the purposes of this section,

(a) an expenditure by a board is an administration expenditure if it is an expenditure categorized in the 1998-99 Uniform Code of Accounts as an administration expenditure; and

(b) an expenditure by a board is a governance expenditure if it is an expenditure categorized in the 1998-99 Uniform Code of Accounts as a governance expenditure.

(3) The Minister shall ensure that the 1998-99 Uniform Code of Accounts, required by subsection 51 (2), states which items of board expenditures are in the category of administration expenditure and which are in the category of governance expenditure.

(4) In meeting the requirements of subsection (3), the Minister shall follow the categorizations of administration expenditures and governance expenditures set out in the three documents referred to in subsection 51 (3).

(5) Subsection (4) does not prevent the Minister from making minor adjustments in categorizations for the purpose of improving the accuracy with which,

(a) board expenditures that relate to administration are identified; and

(b) board expenditures that relate to governance are identified.

(6) Where the total of a board’s administration expenditures and governance expenditures in the 1998-99 fiscal year exceeds the administration and governance allocation amount determined for the board under section 36, the board shall submit a written plan to the Minister outlining how it proposes to reduce the total of the amounts that it spends on administration expenditures and governance expenditures so that, by the fiscal year 2000-2001, that total does not exceed the administration and governance allocation amount determined for the board under section 36. O. Reg. 287/98, s. 54.
