Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BC Tripartite Education Agreement: Supporting First Nation Student Success<\/em> (\u201cBCTEA\u201d) between the Province of British Columbia (B.C.), FNESC, and Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) (collectively the \u201cParties\u201d) sets the foundation for further growth and changes to support the enhancement of the B.C. public education system. As a component of BCTEA, the Parties agreed to develop and implement effective measures to address existing and future issues arising from the transportation of First Nation Students to B.C. public schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2018\/19, provincial boards of education and First Nations have been asked to work together to determine First Nation Student transportation needs and to co-develop Joint First Nation Student Transportation Plans (\u201cJoint Plans\u201d), informed by guiding principles and criteria established by the BCTEA Parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
