4. COST ASSOCIATED:
Supply teacher costs-The district will cover the cost of a one half day supply cost for a teacher to be
released at the school level to accompany the children. Please code ½ day of supply replacement to
budget code:2077 03 ACCT TASK PPE4 with a payroll code of 2126
The school would be responsible for finding parents and or another staff member to accompany
and help supervise the children since many of the teachers who will be attending will be
responsible for running an event. In the past many schools have been able to cover the absence of
another teacher within the school since they were able to combine classes of children because of the
volume of children that might be absent that day.
Transportation-Schools would be responsible for the cost and arranging of transporting students to the
event and advising parents to pick up their children at the Canada Games stadium at 5 pm
Other Costs-The district will also cover the cost of the Canada Games Stadium Rental, security and
clean up, and the awards handed out that day.
