Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement

Enhancement Agreements vs. Local Education Agreements A Local Education Agreement (LEA) is a mechanism through which administration of federal funding (restricted to identified First Nations status-on-reserve students only) is distributed to school districts-through First Nations Band Councils. Signing an EA does not eliminate the need for a Local Education Agreement. The LEA and the EA are distinct agreements and should be negotiated separately. The LEA will only address the First Nation/band students under its jurisdiction, whereas the EA will address goals and elements based on all Aboriginal students’ needs.
