Agenda item

Ian Pearson introduced the report (Agenda Item 12), which set out the budget for services funded from the Central Schools’ Services (CSSB) block of the DSG.

Ian Pearson drew attention to section 4.3, which detailed that the final allocation had been notified and was £7k higher than the initial allocation. This £7k would go towards reducing the prior year deficit of £70k.

Catie Colston noted the high cost against National Copyright Licenses and queried if there was anything that could be done to bring this down. Ian Pearson commented that this. Ian Pearson reported that effort was made to buy collectively however, costs were set and this was outside of the Local Authorities control.

RESOLVED that the Schools’ Forum noted the report.
