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.

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.

to this account, as well.

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

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

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:

Complementary Services - Full-Costing of Programs:
Complementary services expenses are to include the full cost of delivering the programs. This
includes any tuition fees, administrative, instructional, plant operation, transportation and capital
costs that are directly attributable to those programs.
Where costs are shared with other programs, the school division may want to allocate costs
between complementary services and the other program(s), based on a reasonable allocation
method.
Complementary Services - Partnership Arrangements – Proportional Consolidation:
Joint arrangements that meet the criteria of a partnership in accordance with CICA Public Sector
Accounting Board (PSAB) standards are to be accounted for in accordance with those standards
using the proportional consolidation method.
In accordance with PSAB section PS 3060, a “partnership” is a contractual arrangement between
the school division and an outside party or parties, with all of the following characteristics:
partners co-operate to achieve common goals
the partners make a financial investment in the partnership
partners share control of decisions relating to the financial and operating policies
partners share, on an equitable basis, the risk and benefits of the partnership
Proportional consolidation requires the following practices for accounting for partnership
arrangements:
Each partner reports their proportional share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses on a line-by-line basis.
The managing school division would report only their proportional share of the assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses on a line-by-line basis.
The non-managing partner school division(s) would report their share of the assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses on a line-by-line basis.
Examples of partnership arrangements include:
Shared Services
Other shared staff and program arrangements

Complementary Services Revenue Account Code Structure – Program Codes:
Complementary services programs use a common set of account codes for program revenues.
Program codes are then used to identify the specific complementary services program to which
the revenue relates.
As an example, a school division may have the following complementary services programs:
Pre-K Programs
Youth in Hospitals
Youth in Custody
The school division would then set up Program codes for each of these programs, as follows:
001 - Pre-K Programs
002 - Youth in Hospitals
003 - Youth in Custody
Operating Grant revenue for each of the programs would then be recorded to the following
accounts:
1-1-07-010-020-001-xxx – Operating Grant - Pre-K Programs
1-1-07-010-020-002-xxx – Operating Grant - Youth in Hospitals

External Services Expense Account Code Structure – Program Codes:
External services programs use a common set of account codes for program revenues. Program
codes are then used to identify the specific external services program to which the expense
relates.
As an example, a school division may have the following external services programs:
Associate Schools
Invitational Shared Services Initiatives
KidsFirst
The school division would then set up Program codes for each of these programs, as follows:
010 - Associate Schools
011 - Invitational Shared Services Initiatives
012 - KidsFirst
Administration salaries for each of the programs would then be recorded to the following
accounts:
1-2-22-110-100-010-xxx – Administration Salaries - Associate Schools
1-2-22-110-100-011-xxx – Administration Salaries - Invitational Shared Services
