• The reporting date is Monday, September 30, 2013. The data is due to the Schools' Finance Branch on October 15, 2013.

• Each student now has a new field called Enrolled Pupil available on the student's enrolment tab.  A student will be considered an Enrolled Pupil if this box is checked (it was automatically checked for all students who were "home" (aka not "concurrent") at the time of Enterprise database update 1.14510).  The definition of an enrolled pupil may be found in www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/finance/enrol_reporting/enrol_report_13-14.pdf.

• Independent Schools (private schools only): the Eligible % is now calculated the same way that public schools are calculated. Maplewood consulted with Manitoba Education this summer to ensure that the calculation method is still accurate. It is as follows:

Eligible % is blank except for those students who are either:

- home schooled (Enrolment type has the Ministry # 410), or
- over 21 years of age as of December 31st, or
- over 16 years of age as of December 31st and have obtained a diploma.

* If the school is an Adult Learning Centre or First Nation School, and the “no longer valid” entries exist in the table, edit the entry and put “Z-Do Not Use” in front of the title (e.g. code 120 becomes Z-Do Not Use – Regular Enrolment Under 19 (Adult Learning Centre)).
