First Nation Student Transportation Fund

Through our joint plans we were approved for $45197.00 for extracurricular support and $92918.00 for To and From Support. The extracurricular funds are generated by looking at our 1701 numbers and multiplying by $31.54. This is used to support all parental travel expense transporting their child to extracurriculars. This could be teams, clubs, tutoring and anything outside of regular curriculum. We are advertising this through Education Coordinators and emails to all parents. These funds only support on-reserve students in school related events. The $92918.00 breaks down to parental assistance, bands running extra transportation to allow some scheduling flexibility, transition events, and an extended bus run. All of these dollars were jointly applied for in collaboration with the bands and the needs of their students. Considerations were any transportation issue that was getting in the way of a child experiencing academic success.
