What is the GSN?

The Grants for Student Needs (GSN), also known as “the funding formula”, is the regulatory vehicle the Province uses to determine the annual funding allocation for each district school board. Each school board’s GSN allocation comes from two sources:

Education Property Tax: collected by the municipalities with rates set by the Ministry of Finance; and

School Board Operating Grant (SBOG): funding provided to boards by the Province to cover the difference between the property tax collected and the total allocation as determined by the GSN funding formula. SBOG makes up 68% of funding to boards, while property taxes account for 32%. Prior to the Province assuming responsibility for setting education property taxes (1997), these percentages were reversed.

In addition to the GSN, funding for Education Programs(EPO) Other is provided to boards to support specific projects and programs (e.g., Student Success).
