2. Subtract the greatest of the following amounts:

i. The amount determined using the following formula:

((A – B) – C) – (0.04 × D)

in which,

“A” is the amount that was in the board’s special education reserve fund on August 31, 2003,

“B” is the amount, if any, that was in the board’s special education reserve fund on August 31, 2003, that was not required to be placed in that reserve fund under section 41 of Ontario Regulation 156/02 or a predecessor of that section,

“C” is the greater of zero and the difference between,

(a) the amount that would have been determined under subsection 42 (3) of the 2003-2004 grant regulation if that amount had been determined on the basis of the board’s expenditures on special education that the board had authorized by motions passed before July 1, 2004 or that it had otherwise decided, before July 1, 2004, that it would make in the 2003-2004 fiscal year, and

(b) the special education allocation for the board determined under section 14 of the 2003-2004 grant regulation, and

“D” is the amount that was determined in respect of the board under clause 17 (b) of Ontario Regulation 156/02.

ii. The amount determined using the following formula:

E – (0.02 × F)

in which,

“E” is the amount that was in the board’s special education reserve fund on August 31, 2004, and

“F” is the sum of the ISA level 2 claim and the ISA level 3 claim determined in respect of the board under subsections 17 (2) and 18 (2), respectively, of the 2003-2004 grant regulation.

iii. Zero.

3. Add the amount determined as follows:

i. Take the number of pupils who were enrolled in a school operated by the board on October 31, 2004, who were not enrolled in a school operated by the board on October 31, 2003 and who, in the opinion of the Minister, meet one of the following criteria:

A. The pupil was enrolled in a class in which there was no less than one adult assigned for every four students where the adult was employed in special education programs and was a teacher, teaching assistant, professional or paraprofessional within the meaning of Appendix H of the 2004-05 School Board Estimates, dated May 26, 2004.

B. The full-time equivalent of at least one teaching assistant, professional or paraprofessional within the meaning of Appendix H of the 2004-05 School Board Estimates, dated May 26, 2004 was assigned to the pupil for, on average, no less than one-half of each instructional day in the 2004-2005 school year.

ii. Subtract the number of pupils who meet both of the following criteria. If the difference is a negative number, the number determined under this paragraph is zero:

A. The pupil is a pupil in respect of whom an ISA level 2 claim or an ISA level 3 claim was approved within the meaning of subsections 17 (1) and 18 (1), respectively, of the 2003-2004 grant regulation.

B. The pupil is not enrolled in a school of the board on October 31, 2004.

iii. Multiply the number determined under subparagraph ii by $17,000.

iv. Calculate the sum of the amounts determined under subparagraph iii for all boards.

v. If the amount determined under subparagraph iv is equal to or less than $62 million, the amount determined under this paragraph is the amount determined under subparagraph iii. If the amount determined under subparagraph iv is greater than $62 million, the amount determined under this paragraph is the amount determined by,

A. multiplying the amount determined under subparagraph iii by $62 million, and
