SCHOOL GENERATED FUNDS (1-1-04-000-000-xxx-xxx)

This section details the revenue for services and programs that meet the definition of School

Generated Funds.

School Generated Funds – Definition:

School Generated Funds are those services and programs for which the school collects fees and

takes on fundraising activities. These activities should be specific to the promotion of curricular and

non-curricular activities. Curricular programs are those that relate directly to programs offered by

the school curriculum and support the curriculum. An example of curricular revenues is Industrial

Arts fees used to offset material costs for the industrial arts program. Non-curricular are those

activities and programs put on by the school over and above the regular curricular programming

to enhance the overall educational experience for the students. Examples of non-curricular are

fees collected to support clubs and sports teams, and fundraising events to raise funds for classroom

computers.

School Generated Funds - Full-Costing of Programs:

School Generated Funds expenses are to include the full cost of delivering the programs. This

means any revenues received must be deposited in-tact that is directly attributable to those

programs.

Where costs are shared with other programs, the school division may establish a reasonable

method to allocate costs between programs.

Funds collected for a specified purpose must be used for that purpose.

The nature of School Generated Funds is that they tend to continue from year to year and as a

result there will be a desire to appropriate surpluses for School Generated Funds programs at the

August 31st year-end.

School Generated Funds programs should not run at a deficit. If at year-end a deficit exists, the

deficit should be offset to another School Generated Funds program. The school division should

have procedures in place should this situation arise.

CHART OF ACCOUNTS – REVENUES AND EXPENSES

2018-19 …page 10

School Generated Funds Revenue Account Code Structure – Object Codes:

School Generated Funds object codes are used to denote whether a revenue or expense item has a

Curricular or Non-Curricular purpose.

School Generated Funds Revenue Account Code Structure – Program Codes:

School Generated Funds programs use a common set of account codes for program revenues and

expenses. Program codes are then used to identify the specific School Generated Funds program

to which the revenue relates.

As an example, a school division may have the following School Generated Funds programs:

Student Representative Council (SRC)

Canteen

Industrial Arts

The school division would then set up Program codes for each of these programs, as follows:

P01 - SRC

P02 - Canteen

P03 – Industrial Arts

P04 - Fundraising

School Generated Funds revenue for each of the programs would then be recorded to the

following accounts:

1-1-04-075-065-P03-xxx – School Generated Funds-Curricular-Student Fee-Industrial Arts

1-1-04-080-065-P04-xxx – School Generated Funds-Non-Curricular-Fundraising-

Fundraising

School Generated Funds –Revenue Accounts (1-1-04-000-000-xxx-xxx):

Curricular (Credit Courses) (1-1-04-075-000-xxx-xxx)

Student Fees (1-1-04-075-065-xxx-xxx)

To this account report student fees that are collected in direct support of programs offered

by the school curriculum.

Examples include:

Industrial arts student fee collected to cover the cost of wood products used by the student

on projects they will take home.

Welding student fee collected to cover the cost of the metal used by the student on projects

they will take home.

The nature of student fees collected at the elementary school level may be difficult to determine

whether they should be reported as curricular or non-curricular. Materiality will come into play.

If the majority of the student fees collected are for programming, then all student fees would be

reported as curricular. If the majority of the student fees are for school events, then all student

fees would be reported as non-curricular.

All curricular student fees should be charged to this sub-object code.

Non-Curricular (1-1-04-080-000-xxx-xxx)

Commercial Sales - GST (1-1-04-080-060-xxx-xxx)

To this account report sales activity that attracts the GST (where the yearly gross sales

exceed $50,000). School division activity that attracts the GST include: vending

machine sales, school stores.

In the event that your school division has other activity that attracts the GST, it should be coded

to this account, as well.

Commercial Sales - Non-GST (1-1-04-080-061-xxx-xxx)

To this account report commercial sales activity that does not attract the GST.

Fundraising (1-1-04-080-063-xxx-xxx)

This account is set up to capture fundraising initiatives carried on by the school. Examples include:

Raising funds to build a creative playground.

Raising funds for school computer equipment.

Raising funds to support traveling teams, SRC activities etc.

Grants and Partnerships (1-1-04-080-064-xxx-xxx)

Schools may receive funding from service groups and other agencies to support very

specific purpose projects or initiatives. In conjunction with these funds, typically the

funding providers request a report of expenses and outcomes post completion of the

project. Examples are Breakfast for Learning, TIPP grants, partnerships.

Student Fees (1-1-04-080-065-xxx-xxx)

This account is intended to capture revenue from students for membership or

participation. Examples include:

Graduation fees

SRC fees

Yearbook

Fees collected by sports teams to support their programs

Other extra-curricular clubs

liabilities, revenues and expenses on a line-by-line basis.
