- The Costs of Providing Instruction in French Language Instructional Units: In-Depth Study of Eight Areas Where There Exists a High Concentration of Francophones. Desjarlais, Lionel Case Studies Educational Finance Elementary Secondary Education Expenditure per Student French Instructional Student Costs Non English Speaking Program Costs School District Spending Statistical Data Tables (Data) The purpose of this study was to determine the costs of providing instruction in French to students enrolled in French-language instructional units in areas of high concentration of Francophones. Chapter 1, which makes up most of the study, consists of separate case studies of eight educational jurisdictions that encompass a major proportion of the Francophone student population of Ontario. These case studies involve examination of the costs to a school board of maintaining the present programming level and the costs incurred where a board offers paraprofessional and consultant resources. Chapter 2 examines the availability and cost of textbooks, library books, and learning materials. Chapter 3 discusses specialized services that should be available to French-language schools and the services provided by the Regional Office. Among the study's major findings are 1) the most direct influence on the additional cost per Francophone student seems to be the Francophone/Anglophone ratio within each jurisdiction; 2) to provide adequate service within totally Francophone jurisdictions, a minimum of $78 extra per elementary student and $180 extra per secondary student is needed; and 3) to provide "ideal" service, the minimum amounts of $78 and $180 per student should be increased according to the specific Francophone/Anglophone ratio of each jurisdiction.
