"I can guarantee you, there will be a need," for more funding, Cathy Abraham, president of the Ontario Public School Boards' Association, told HuffPost Canada. Thompson said Monday that her government will give school boards $12,300 for every student with autism who enrols in April and will also spend $1 million for teachers to get a certification in working with students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder.
School boards get $12,300 a year for every student enrolled, Abraham said. Boards take a head count every March and October and the government adjusts their funding accordingly.
