Process

Funding for Level 1 Special Needs Support is calculated according to the information provided in the document Funding of Schools. The funding support is provided to school divisions/districts as part of their Base Support and used by school divisions/districts to provide special education staffing such as resource teachers or special education teachers. Support for Counselling and Guidance, Grades 5 to Senior 4, is also provided as part of the Base Support.

Special Needs Categorical support is provided to school divisions/districts through the Funding of Schools Program in accordance with the formulae and conditions outlined in the Funding of Schools document.

Level II and III funding is part of the Special Needs Categorical support provided through the Funding of Schools Program. The process for determining eligibility of students requires the department to consider students on a student by student basis. The Student Services Administrator together with resource teachers and other division-based personnel identify those students requiring exceptional supports who meet the Guidelines for Level 2 and 3 funding support. Applications are completed and submitted to Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth's funding review team to determine eligibility. The process for application and determination of eligibility are outlined in the link to the right.

School divisions/districts are required to provide specific information regarding student need and programming when applying for EBD Level 3 support and the Unified Referral and Intake System (URIS) support for students with Group A complex Health Care needs. Students with profound emotional/behavioural disorders require Multisystem treatment plans. For students who are medically stable due to technology, the URIS application process is used. Eligibility for funding is determined by Multisystem Teams that have representation from Education, Citizenship and Youth, Family Services and Housing, Health, and, in the case of EBD Level 3, Justice.
