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.
