  13. Alberta Education has two broad classifications and six categories.
  14. When reviewing how funds are to be dispersed, the province
  15. primarily looks at per student coverage and so they focus
  16. on demographic and geographic coverage of the province.
  17. Alberta Education has an additional funding framework on which it
  18. reviews in order to determine which school boards get what
