The following information about Ontario's publicly funded elementary and secondary schools is based on data reported by schools, school boards, and school authorities. Unless otherwise specified, data for hospital programs and Provincial Schools; care, treatment, and correctional facilities; continuing education; and private schools is not included.
Owing to a change in data collection methods, data for 2006–07 and subsequent years is not strictly comparable to data for years prior to 2006–07.

The increase in the FTE for ECEs for 2014–15 reflects the increase in FDK enrolment in the final year of implementation, as all elementary schools adopted the program.

* The Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) introduced a change in 2010–11 (PS 3410) requiring school boards to put revenues previously recognized as related to the net book value of capital assets acquired into deferred capital contributions (DCC). As a result of the transfer from accumulated surplus/deficit to DCC, the accumulated surplus/deficit opening amount for district school boards for 2010–11 is much lower than the closing amount
for 2009–10.
** Changes in school boards’ benefit plans made in accordance with the terms of the 2012 memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the ministry and the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association resulted in savings in 2011–12. The terms of the MOU were implemented province-wide with the passing of Ontario Regulation 1/13, “Sick Leave and Sick Leave Credit Gratuities”. The changes included freezing retirement gratuities, eliminating non-vested sick days, and eliminating subsidized retiree health/dental/life benefit premiums for employees retiring after September 1, 2013. The reduction of the future employee benefits liability resulted in a significant one-time savings for boards in 2011–12.
† Data for 2011–12 may differ from corresponding data in previous editions of Quick Facts owing to updated information.
†† The amounts for 2013–14 have been restated. In the 2013–14 edition of Quick Facts, the amounts used for two of the school authorities were from those school authorities' 2013–14 estimates due to the unavailability of current data, and the accumulated surplus/(deficit) at the beginning of the year for those school authorities was taken from the ending balance of 2012–13. We have since received their 2013–14 financial statements.
§ Unless explained otherwise in the preceding notes, differences between the accumulated surplus/deficit at the end of a school year and the accumulated surplus/deficit at the beginning of the following school year are due to restatement of the beginning accumulated surplus/deficit amount in the financial statements of the boards in the following school year.
