(2) The fee in respect of the pupil is calculated by multiplying the day school A.D.E. of the pupil by the base fee for the board as set out in, (a) Column 2 of Table 1, in the case of a pupil who is an elementary school pupil enrolled in a school operated by a district school board; (b) Column 3 of Table 1, in the case of a pupil who is a secondary school pupil enrolled in a school operated by a district school board; or (c) Column 2 of Table 2, in the case of a pupil who is enrolled in a school operated by an isolate board.

If the board receives partial funding for the program, service or equipment in the base fee determined for the pupil, the fee may be increased by an amount equal to the cost of the program, service or equipment that exceeds the amount received in the base fee. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4), if the board providing the educational program, service or equipment and the party from whom the fee is receivable cannot agree on the amount by which the fee is to be increased, the amount shall be determined by three arbitrators, appointed as follows: 1. One arbitrator appointed by the board. 2. One arbitrator appointed by the party from whom the fee is receivable. 3. One arbitrator appointed by the arbitrators appointed under paragraphs 1 and 2. (6) The decision of the arbitrators or a majority of them is final and binding on the board and on the party from whom the fee is receivable.
