Band-operated schools
Band-operated schools (BOS) are a type of publicly-funded K-12 school in Canada that is under the jurisdiction of one or more of the First Nation band governments.[1] It is considered a separate class of school than other types of public or private schools in Canada.[2] These schools are funded at the federal level by the Government of Canada, but are managed by First Nation governments. They are usually physically located on Indian reserves in Canada.[3] A 2017 publication stated that there were approximately 518 extant BOS in Canada at that time, and that approximately 61% of all children living on an Indian reserve received their education at a BOS.[3]
