Fees Charged to Boards
3. (1) Except as provided in subsection (10) and section 4, the fee in respect of a pupil whose fee is receivable from another board, from Canada or from a band, council of a band or education authority authorized by the Crown in right of Canada to provide education for Indians and the fee in respect of a pupil to whom subsection 49 (6) of the Act applies, shall be determined in the following manner: 1. Subtract from the current cost of operating of the board that provides the instruction the school-based operating expenditure for elementary school purposes and secondary school purposes. 2. Prorate the remainder from paragraph 1 to elementary school purposes and secondary school purposes in the ratio that the day school A.D.E. of elementary school pupils and the day school A.D.E. of secondary school pupils is to the total day school A.D.E. of the board. 3. Add the amount determined in paragraph 2 for elementary school purposes to the school-based operating expenditure for elementary school purposes and subtract the legislative grants payable to the board in respect of elementary school pupils for the eligible sum for French as a first language, the eligible sum for French as a second language, the eligible sum for Native as a second language, the eligible sum for full-day kindergarten and the reduction in class size in grades 1 and 2 and the grant for pay equity as determined under sections 22 and 30, respectively, of Ontario Regulation 78/97 (General Legislative Grants, 1997). Divide that sum by the day school A.D.E. of elementary school pupils. 4. Add the amount determined in paragraph 2 for secondary school purposes to the school-based operating expenditure for secondary school purposes and subtract the legislative grants payable to the board in respect of secondary school pupils for the eligible sum for French as a first language, the eligible sum for French as a second language, the eligible sum for Native as a second language and the grant for pay equity as determined under section 30 of Ontario Regulation 78/97 (General Legislative Grants, 1997). Divide that sum by the day school A.D.E. of secondary school pupils. 5. Multiply the A.D.E. of each pupil to whom subsection 49 (6) of the Act applies or the A.D.E. of each pupil whose fee is receivable from another board, from Canada or from a band, council of a band or education authority, as the case may be, by the sum of, i. the amount determined under paragraph 3 or paragraph 4, as the case may be, and ii. the P.A.C. for that pupil. (2) Subparagraph ii of paragraph 5 of subsection (1) does not apply to a board that is appointed under section 68 of the Act. (3) The fee in respect of a pupil referred to in subsection (1) who is enrolled in a Native language program and whose fee is receivable from Canada or from a band, council of a band or education authority authorized by the Crown in right of Canada to provide education for Indians may be increased by an amount equal to the portion of the eligible sum for Native as a second language that would be generated for that pupil if the pupil were a resident pupil of the board. (4) The fee in respect of a pupil referred to in subsection (1) who is enrolled in a high cost program may be increased by multiplying the fee by a factor agreed upon by the board providing the instruction and the party from whom the fee is receivable. (5) If the board providing the instruction and the party from whom the fee is receivable cannot agree upon a factor, the factor shall be determined by three arbitrators. (6) If the fee is in respect of a pupil for whom the Minister pays the cost of education, the three arbitrators shall be, (a) one arbitrator appointed by the board that provides the instruction; (b) one arbitrator appointed by the Minister; and (c) one arbitrator appointed by the arbitrators appointed under clauses (a) and (b). (7) In all cases other than a case to which subsection (6) applies, the three arbitrators shall be, (a) one arbitrator appointed by the board that provides the instruction; (b) one arbitrator appointed by the party from whom the fee is receivable; and (c) one arbitrator appointed by the arbitrators appointed under clauses (a) and (b). (8) The decision of the arbitrators or a majority of them is final and binding upon the board providing the instruction and the party from whom the fee is receivable. (9) The number of pupils in a high cost program provided by the board in respect of whom the fee receivable by the board from a party may be increased under subsections (4) to (8) shall not exceed the amount obtained by, (a) multiplying the A.D.E. of pupils in respect of whom fees are receivable by the board from the party by the ratio of the A.D.E. of pupils registered in the high cost program to the A.D.E. of pupils enrolled in schools operated by the board; and (b) subtracting the product obtained in clause (a) from the A.D.E. of pupils registered in the high cost program in respect of whom fees are receivable by the board from the party. (10) The fee in respect of a pupil aged 21 or over and who is referred to in subsection (1) shall be equal to the product of the A.D.E. of the pupil and $2,257 or such other amount that is agreed upon by the board providing the instruction and the party from whom the fee is receivable.
