Agenda item

Wendy Howells introduced the Scheme for Financing Schools document (Agenda Item7), which highlighted changes that had been made.

Wendy Howells reported that schools had to be consulted on the document. The copy included with the agenda highlighted what needed to be changed. Text highlighted in yellow/orange were statutory changes and text highlighted in blue showed changes that were for the Local Authority area.

The Local Authority change (on page 21) included an amendment to the policy for schools in deficit, which would mean that the whole document did not have to be brought back for agreement each time a change was required to this section.

RESOLVED that the Scheme for Financing Schools would be brought back to the Schools’ Forum in July for agreement.
