28. School BudgetPart 1: Student Centred Funding Model Session 7

29. What is the Student Centred Funding Model? • Places student learning at the heart of funding • Funding that is based more fairly upon each student enrolment • More predictable • less vulnerable to large funding changes resulting from minor changes in enrolment • Greater flexibility in aligning funding to local needs

30. Need for Change • Confidence to plan • Education reform to lift student outcomes • Personalised learning • Out of school • SACE • VET • No risky large steps • Move forward responding to leaders

31. 2011 Student Centred Funding Model • Provides funding to implement the new Award • Additional $265 million over 4 years • Interim model • Tier 1 staffing entitlements converted to per-capita • RAAP, CPC & Special Needs (Tier 2) funding process the same • Per-student allocation for every enrolment • different year level rates • Base allocations to address economies of scale • Maintains current funding policy • Primary/Secondary • School Type • School Size • Country/Metro • Same or More funding commitment

32. What’s In? Principals Deputy Principal, Senior Leaders (Assistant Principal) Coordinators Secondary Counsellor Teachers (includes Term 3 and 4 Intake and Teacher-Librarian) School Services Officer Administrative Services Officer, Government Service Employee , Operational Service Officer, Storeperson Flexible Initiatives Resourcing Additional Leadership Admin Time What’s Not?

33. Tier 2 Leadership and Ancillary

34. Same or More Commitment • The government has provided a commitment that “all schools resourced pursuant to the SCFM will receive the same or more funding compared to the funding they would have received had they continued to be funded pursuant to the formula described in the SAD, plus additional leadership administration time and Flexible Initiatives Resourcing.” • Commitment is for the life of the Award (2011 and 2012) • The commitment is based on same year to year enrolments • Same or More funding will appear in Part 1 of the RES under the SCFM allocations (if required)

35. Student Centred Funding Model • Enrolments • Day 6 Enrolment Survey • Average of Term 1 enrolments and projections Terms 2, 3 and 4 • Provides certainty of funding • Once Term 1 enrolments have been finalised • Per Capita Rates • R-2 $5,101 • 3-7 $4,564 • 8-10 $7,353 • 11-12+ $7,583 • Very small secondary enrolments • Area Schools with very small secondary enrolments will continue to be funded via a step based formula increasing in $120,000 steps • Bases • Three All Schools • Three Small Schools • Funding • Sum of per capita and two bases

36. Area/ Combined School Bases Eg. Enrolment 44 = $255,000 + $118,586 = $373,586 Enrolment 600 = $1,100,000 + $0 = $1,100,000

37. Primary School Bases Eg. Enrolment 44 = $170,659 + $65,000 = $235,659 Enrolment 600 = $350,000 + $0 = $350,000

38. Secondary School Bases Eg. Enrolment 44 = $450,000 + $104,211 = $554,211 Enrolment 600 = $560,000 + $0 = $560,000

39. Student Centred Funding Model

40. Resource Entitlement Statement

41. Schools Not Funded via SCFM • Some schools can not be funded via the SCFM in 2011 • Special Schools (would result in large variations in funding due to low enrolment numbers) • Schools without continuous enrolments (eg Arbury Park Outdoor School, Youth Education Centre) • Schools with special funding needs (eg Open Access College) • These schools will continue to be funded as per current practice

42. Additional ICT Support • The IRCSA view “ICT has a substantial impact on the work of teachers and leaders, either through the performance of additional work in the area of ICT or as a result of the redirection of resources into ICT support” • $12m to schools to support ICT • Base of $10,000 to every school PLUS • Per-capita - approximately $38 for every student • Schools will use the funding in variety of ways • A range of services to support the planning and implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that enhances the learning of students in the modern world

43. SSO Support for Special Classes • SSO Support for Special Classes • A minimum of one School Services Officer be present while a class in a special school, special unit or special class is being taught (based on 26 hrs and 40 mins) • Allocation Methodology • Assume Special Schools with entitlement >= 150 HPW would have 90 HPW admin (Reception + Finance + Computing/Admin. Support) • Assume Special Schools with entitlement < 150 HPW would have 60 HPW admin • Assume Disability Units & CHICs would have 30 HPW admin • Class support required = number of classes x 26 hrs and 40 mins • Additional support required = Class support required + admin – entitlement • Funding based on SSO2 2011 standard salary rates
