Why would a First Nations school which has Independent school status choose to implement through the First Nations implementation process?
For First Nations schools to implement BCeSIS there must be a First Nations School District Code set up within the BCeSIS framework. Once this is done, all schools which implement through the First Nations process will be attached to that district. Once this district is established, many aggregate reports will be able to be run based on the schools within that district. It is hoped that this functionality will support the FNSA data collection project. If a First Nations school chooses to implement through the ISA then for the purposes of First Nations schools data collection through BCeSIS, that school will not be included in any reports run through the First Nations School District.
