Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 732 asked in the Legislative Council on 6 August 2019 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

EDUCATION — HEDLAND SCHOOL ATTENDANCE STRATEGY

732. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and Training:

I refer to the minister's press statement, ''Hedland bus boosts school attendance'', of 3 July 2019.

(1) Can the minister advise whether the funding provided by the Department of Education for the Hedland bus is for only the remainder of the 2019 school year?

(2) If no to (1), what is the duration of the funding agreement?

(3) If yes to (1), is it the government's intention to continue the funding for the bus next year; and, if not, why not?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Yes.

(2) Not applicable.

(3) The Hedland school attendance strategy will be monitored and funding beyond 2019 will be considered closer to the start of the 2020 school year.
