BC Tripartite Education Agreement Learning Series: Joint Verification Process Webinars and Q&A Sessions – Save the Date

Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC), and the Ministry of Education and Child Care invite you to mark your calendars for this year’s Nominal Roll Learning Series webinars and Q&A sessions covering the Joint Verification Process (JVP).

The Joint Verification Process was introduced in the 2019/20 school year as part of the implementation of the British Columbia Tripartite Education Agreement: Supporting First Nation Student Success (BCTEA). The JVP is an important process between First Nations and local school districts that helps ensure Nominal Roll students are appropriately accounted for and that funding is calculated accurately.

The intended audience for the JVP webinars and Q&A sessions is First Nations and school districts with First Nation Students living on reserve and attending public schools. The webinars are an opportunity for both parties to learn about steps that can lead to a successful Joint Verification Process and develop a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities.

The sessions will be hosted by Indigenous Services Canada, the First Nations Education Steering Committee and the Ministry of Education and Child Care.

Information on how to register for the sessions below will be sent out via the DM Bulletin in July.
