Parliament: 40 Session: 1
Question
I refer to question on notice No. 1053, answered on 10 April 2018, and I ask:
(a) what amount of funding is allocated to the School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) in 2018;
(b) for what purpose can funding be allocated by the SBRC; and
(c) which schools have received funds from the SBRC in 2018 and for what purpose?
Answered on 12 June 2018
a) $6.5 million.
b) The SBRC considers requests for additional funding when a school cannot operate within its budget under the following criteria:
- the one-line budget imbalance was caused by factors outside the school’s control (eg significant increase in enrolments);
- all available local options have been exhausted in an attempt to resolve the situation; and
- the school has accessed support from a Principal Advisor, Student-Centred Funding, and still is unable to operate within its total one-line budget.
c) As at 30 April 2018:
