(chapter I-13.3, s. 455.1, 1st par., subpars. 1, 2 and 3).

1. For the computation of the maximum yield of the school tax for the 2013-2014 school year, provided for in section 308 of the Education Act (chapter I-13.3), the allowable number of students must be determined by

(1)  calculating the number of 4-year-old preschool students who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 1.00 the number of such students legally enrolled for a minimum of 144 half days on 30 September 2012 in the schools under the jurisdiction of the school board;

(2)  calculating the number of 5-year-old preschool students who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 1.80 the number of such students legally enrolled for a minimum of 180 days on 30 September 2012 in the schools under the jurisdiction of the school board, except students referred to in paragraphs 7 and 8;

(3)  calculating the number of elementary school students who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 1.55 the number of such full-time students legally enrolled on 30 September 2012 in the schools under the jurisdiction of the school board, except students referred to in paragraphs 7 and 9;

(4)  calculating the number of secondary school students who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 2.40 the number of such full-time students legally enrolled on 30 September 2012 in the schools under the jurisdiction of the school board, except students referred to in paragraphs 7 and 10. Students admitted, following Secondary 3, to a program of study leading to a secondary school vocational diploma who pursue their general education concurrently with their vocational studies may not be taken into account for the purposes of this paragraph;

(5)  calculating the number of students admitted to a program of study leading to a secondary school vocational diploma or to an attestation of vocational specialization who may be taken into account pursuant to paragraph 1 of section 4, by

(a)  multiplying by 3.40 the number of full-time students admitted to a program of study leading to a secondary school vocational diploma, except students referred to in subparagraph b, or to an attestation of vocational specialization, legally enrolled during the 2011-2012 school year in the vocational training centres under the jurisdiction of the school board and recognized by the Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports for the purposes of the budgetary rules for the 2011-2012 school year;

(b)  multiplying by 3.40 the number of full-time students admitted, following Secondary 3, to a program of study leading to a secondary school vocational diploma who pursue their general education concurrently with their professional studies, legally enrolled on 30 September 2011 in the vocational training centres under the jurisdiction of the school board and recognized by the Minister for the purposes of the budgetary rules for the 2011-2012 school year;

(c)  multiplying by 3.40 the number of students corresponding to the difference between the number of new places, in terms of the enrollment capacity of an educational institution, allotted by the Minister for one or more vocational programs of study and the number of full-time students admitted to such program or programs of study during the 2011-2012 school year in the vocational training centres under the jurisdiction of the school board and recognized by the Minister for the purposes of the budgetary rules for the 2011-2012 school year; and

(d)  adding the products obtained under subparagraphs a, b and c;

(7)  calculating the number of handicapped 5-year-old preschool, elementary school and secondary school students who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 6.40 the number of such full-time students legally enrolled on 30 September 2012 in the schools under the jurisdiction of the school board and recognized by the Minister for the purposes of the budgetary rules for the 2012-2013 school year;

(8)  calculating the number of 5-year-old preschool students enrolled in welcoming classes and francization classes who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 2.25 the number of such full-time students enrolled in welcoming classes and francization classes and legally enrolled on 30 September 2012 in the schools under the jurisdiction of the school board, except students referred to in paragraph 7;

(9)  calculating the number of elementary school students enrolled in welcoming classes and francization classes who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 2.40 the number of such full-time students enrolled in welcoming classes and francization classes and legally enrolled on 30 September 2012 in the schools under the jurisdiction of the school board, except students referred to in paragraph 7;

(10)  calculating the number of secondary school students enrolled in welcoming classes and francization classes who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 3.40 the number of such full-time students enrolled in welcoming classes and francization classes and legally enrolled on 30 September 2012 in the schools under the jurisdiction of the school board, except students referred to in paragraph 7;

(11)  calculating the number of preschool and elementary school students enrolled in school day care services who may be taken into account pursuant to paragraph 3 of section 4, by multiplying by 0.05 the number of such students;

(12)  calculating the number of students enrolled in the school board’s student transportation services who may be taken into account pursuant to paragraph 4 of section 4, by

(a)  multiplying by 0.75 the number of students enrolled on 30 September 2012 in a transportation service employing vehicles used exclusively to transport such students;

(b)  multiplying by 0.40 the number of students enrolled on 30 September 2012 in a transport service employing vehicles that have specific public transit routes and are not reserved exclusively to transport such students; and

(c)  adding the products obtained under subparagraphs a and b; and

(13)  adding the numbers obtained under paragraphs 1 to 12.

O.C. 692-2013, s. 1.

2. The allowable number of students determined under section 1 must be adjusted by adding the number of students who may be taken into account for the purposes of the reduction in the school population.

The number of students who may be taken into account for the purposes of the reduction in the school population is determined by

(1)  calculating the number of students who may be taken into account for the purposes of the reduction in the total number of students by

(a)  multiplying by 0.99 the total of the numbers obtained under paragraphs 2 to 4 and 7 to 10 of section 1 of the Regulation respecting computation of the maximum yield of the school tax for the 2012-2013 school year (chapter I-13.3, r. 3.3), to which is added, where applicable, the number obtained under subparagraph 1 of the second paragraph of section 2 of that Regulation; and

(b)  subtracting from the product obtained under subparagraph a, the sum of the numbers obtained under paragraphs 2 to 4 and 7 to 10 of section 1, as they read taking into account the application of section 3, if applicable;

(2)  determining the number of students who may be taken into account for the purposes of the reduction in the number of 5-year-old preschool and elementary school students by

(a)  calculating the number of 5-year-old preschool and elementary school students who may be taken into account under paragraph 7 of section 1 of the Regulation respecting computation of the maximum yield of the school tax for the 2012-2013 school year;

(b)  multiplying by 0.99 the total of the numbers obtained under subparagraph a and paragraphs 2, 3, 8 and 9 of section 1 of the Regulation respecting computation of the maximum yield of the school tax for the 2012-2013 school year to which is added, where applicable, the number obtained under subparagraph 2 of the second paragraph of section 2 of that Regulation;

(c)  calculating the number of 5-year-old preschool and elementary school students who may be taken into account under paragraph 7 of section 1; and

(d)  subtracting from the product obtained under subparagraph b, the total of the numbers obtained under subparagraph c and paragraphs 2, 3, 8 and 9 of section 1, as they read taking into account the application of section 3, if applicable;

(3)  calculating the number of students who may be taken into account for the purposes of the reduction in the number of secondary school students by

(a)  calculating the number of secondary school students who may be taken into account under paragraph 7 of section 1 of the Regulation respecting computation of the maximum yield of the school tax for the 2012-2013 school year;

(b)  multiplying by 0.99 the total of the numbers obtained under subparagraph a and paragraphs 4 and 10 of section 1 of the Regulation respecting computation of the maximum yield of the school tax for the 2012-2013 school year to which is added, where applicable, the number obtained under subparagraph 3 of the second paragraph of section 2 of that Regulation;

(c)  calculating the number of secondary school students who may be taken into account under paragraph 7 of section 1; and

(d)  subtracting from the product obtained under subparagraph b, the total of the numbers obtained under subparagraph c and paragraphs 4 and 10 of section 1, as they read taking into account the application of section 3, if applicable;

(4)  subtracting from the sum of numbers obtained under paragraphs 2 and 3, the number obtained under paragraph 1 and multiplying by 0.37 the resulting number; and

(5)  adding the numbers obtained under paragraphs 1 and 4.

In the operations prescribed in this section, when a number is lower than zero, it is deemed to be zero.

O.C. 692-2013, s. 2.

3. Where the sum obtained by adding the numbers of full-time students referred to in paragraphs 2 to 4 and 7 to 10 of section 1 exceeds the sum obtained by adding the numbers of full-time students referred to in paragraphs 2 to 4 and 7 to 10 of section 1 of the Regulation respecting computation of the maximum yield of the school tax for the 2012-2013 school year by 200 or 2%, and is at least 200 or 2% lower than the sum obtained by adding the numbers of full-time students in the categories referred to in paragraphs 2 to 4 and 7 to 10 of section 1, established according to the Minister’s enrolment estimates for the 2013-2014 school year, paragraphs 2 to 4 of section 1 are to be read as follows:

“(2) calculating the number of 5-year-old preschool students who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 1.80 the number of such full-time students, established according to the Minister’s enrolment estimates for the 2013-2014 school year, except students referred to in paragraphs 7 and 8;

(3)  calculating the number of elementary school students who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 1.55 the number of such full-time students, established according to the Minister’s enrolment estimates for the 2013-2014 school year, except students referred to in paragraphs 7 and 9;

(4)  calculating the number of secondary school students who may be taken into account, by multiplying by 2.40 the number of such full-time students, established according to the Minister’s enrolment estimates for the 2013-2014 school year, except students referred to in paragraphs 7 and 10;”.

O.C. 692-2013, s. 3.

4. For the purposes of section 1,

(1)  students who may be taken into account by a school board for the purposes of paragraph 5 of section 1 are students who were admitted for the 2011-2012 school year to a vocational training centre under the jurisdiction of the school board to receive educational services in vocational training, in vocational education programs authorized pursuant to section 467 of the Education Act;

(2)  the number of full-time students is obtained by adding the number of students enrolled full-time who participate in the minimum number of hours of activities prescribed by the basic school regulation applicable to them and the number of students enrolled part-time converted into a number of full-time students by

(a)  using the following equation to calculate the proportion of full-time attendance per student enrolled part-time:

the student’s number of hours of activities
             per school year
_____________________________________________

  the minimum number of hours of activities
         per school year prescribed
