but when you take it out it goes back to where it was.” Hugh Burkhardt “Education is like jelly. When you stick your finger in it changes shape but when you take it out it goes back to where it was.” Contestable funding Limited funding Strengthening MoE and Compliance.

Once you remove the funding or the resource it goes back to what it was. 19/11/2018

How do we ensure that we can continue to operate when confronted with a major crisis over property? MoE Funding Policy One Funding equals Depreciation fund for MoE* Approx. 35% to school (5YA) Learning Support/ Special Needs/ Unforeseen 13% CSR (Chch) 14% Redevelopments/ Remediations 37% All but 5YA are shared as per need across the country *2016/2017 Policy One Funding. Proprietor receives funds and makes 10 year plan. Most proprietors hold back a percentage to have an emergency fund. Rarely, there is a large capital maintenance item that is greater than the Policy One lending available. Attendance Dues may be used to fund these items but cannot be recovered / on-charged using future Attendance Dues. 19/11/2018

The MoE Review of Integration 2019 Section 5 The MoE Review of Integration 2019

Reviewing Integration Little appetite for further review following update of the Act. Labour’s focus is on Access. ie- the cost of attending. Is it a barrier? MoE invited comment from the sector to help shape a briefing paper to the Minister. Possible enhancements for the review to consider: APIS suggested that government assume the responsibility for insurance and fire levies as it does for state schools. APIS noted the cost of buildings and the impact on Attendance dues. 19/11/2018
