Mr. Speaker, I have a return to the written question asked by Mr. O'Reilly on June 2, 2017, regarding the School Funding Framework.
In the 2016-2017 school year, there were 86.5 full-time equivalent students enrolled in junior kindergarten and 7, 701 FTE students in kindergarten to grade 12.
Junior kindergarten was offered in the following 20 communities: Aklavik, Fort McPherson, Ulukhaktok, Tsiigehtchic, Tuktoyaktuk, Fort Simpson, Fort Liard, Wrigley, Kakisa, Jean Marie River, Colville Lake, Deline, Fort Good Hope, Normal Wells, Tulita, Lutselke, Ndilo, Detah, Sachs Harbour, and Nahanni Butte.
For the 2017-2018 school year, the Department of Education, Culture and Employment projects 475.3 FTE students to be enrolled in JK and 8,107 FTE students in K-12, for a total of 8,582.3 FTE.
Later today at the appropriate time I will table the calculations made using the 2017-2018 School Funding Framework that show the incremental amount under each funding category comparing K-12 funding and JK-12 funding. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the following three documents entitled "Return to Written Question 23-18(2): School Funding Framework," "Follow-Up Letter for Oral Question 804-18(2): Territorial Immigration Policies and Programs," and Follow-up Letter for Oral Question 816-18(2): Healthy Relations Training for Educators."
