- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Electoral Area D, Bulkley-Nechako or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
