2025-26 Support Staff Learning Improvement Fund (LIF)

The Learning Improvement Fund (LIF) provides funding to districts to provide additional supports and services to meet students’ needs. See the LIF Regulation for more information, including what the funding can be used for.

To receive the LIF allocation for next school year, school districts must engage in genuine consultation with local support staff unions regarding LIF use. Please complete this form confirming genuine consultation has occurred and return it to FFAB.ECC@gov.bc.ca by June 20, 2025.

If the local union and school district do not agree that genuine consultation has occurred, the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) will work with the parties to facilitate the process. School districts are asked to contact their BCPSEA district liaison to discuss any issues regarding genuine consultation.
