Independent School Resources for Administrators

Inclusive education

Independent schools claim inclusive education categories on Form 1701 in September and February of each school year.

To ensure consistency and transparency in communication between school administrators and parent(s)/legal guardian(s) of funded students with disabilities or diverse abilities, an Independent School Forms and Agreements - B.C. Ministry of Education and Child Care Parent/Guardian Confirmation Form is required annually for each student claimed for inclusive education funding or who is on an IEP.
