23. Funding Questions about the funding are best addressed to your secretary treasurer. Staff from Strategic Financial Services are holding meetings throughout the fall with ASBOA and CASS to discuss the new inclusive education grant. In Budget 2012, $6.8 billion in funding was provided to school jurisdictions for inclusive education. This funding will support school jurisdictions with ensuring that there are a number of different kinds of supports and services available to any student who needs help to learn. Jurisdictions determine what these are.
