“day school A.D.E.”, for a board, means the day school average daily enrolment for the board, as calculated under section 2 of the short year A.D.E. regulation; (“effectif quotidien moyen de jour”)

“high cost program” means,

(a) a special education program, other than a program provided in a school of a board in lieu of an education program provided by a provincial school for the blind and deaf or other similar program for which a legislative grant is payable, or

(b) a technological education program that qualifies for one or more credits toward the secondary school graduation diploma or the Ontario secondary school diploma; (“programme à coût élevé”)

“P.A.C.”, for a pupil, means the pupil accommodation charge for a pupil as determined under subsections (3) and (4); (“frais de pension”)

“section 68 board” means a board established under section 68 of the Act; (“conseil créé en vertu de l’article 68”)

“short year A.D.E. regulation” means Ontario Regulation 283/98. (“règlement sur l’effectif quotidien moyen de l’année abrégée”)

(2) For the purposes of this Regulation, the day school A.D.E. of a pupil enrolled in a school operated by a board is the day school A.D.E. for the board calculated as if that pupil were the board’s only pupil.

(3) Subject to subsection (4), the P.A.C. for a pupil is the product of the day school A.D.E. of the pupil and $141 in the case of an elementary school pupil or $282 in the case of a secondary school pupil.

(4) If a board has entered into an agreement under subsection 188 (3) of the Act that provides for a payment by the Crown in right of Canada to provide classroom accommodation for a specified number of pupils, the P.A.C. for each pupil accommodated as a result of the agreement is zero.
