5. Viability and Sustainability Section 427 and 453 of the Act Likely scenarios for implementation.

6. Drivers for network discussions.
Accessible – enables students to attend a reasonably convenient school. Efficient – uses resources to achieve best outcomes for students while also realising greater value for Government’s investment. Equitable – offers opportunities for every student to learn. It caters for different ages, abilities, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, living circumstances and educational preferences.

7. Drivers for review Quality Demographic changes
Changing community needs
Provision for greater diversity
Infrastructure issues buildings roading etc.
Force Majuere - eg Natural disaster.

8. Distribution of Quantity Funding settlement.
Two tranches
Money distributed in two trances and 2018
Payments based on 2005 rolls and per pupil costs.
Proprietor attests to applying the funding to building and/or SPG
Per pupil rate is $ ,451 pupils AIS share $4,481,063.00
Money will not address a major project but it can be part of work that the proprietor proposes to undertake.

9. Audit Caution
MOE have provided APIS with a list of schools who received an audit qualification.
Auditors have asked a question about an aspect of the accounts.
APIS has advised Proprietors of the alert so that there are no surprises if the issue escalates for the school.
The MOE supply this information as part of the partnership between APIS and MOE and because we are part of the State network.

10. Managing Maximum rolls
Applications to NZCEO. We track with the MoE.
The process involves local office confirming need and consulting other schools in the local network.
Reducing Maximum Rolls:
Maximum rolls that don’t reflect the actual roll over a period of time. Eg Max 300 actual 120 for six years.
Implications: Property, SPG, funding.
When does Policy 2 apply? 85% of the local network needs to be full.

11. Fees and donations.
MoE still expressing concern about the failure to define the attendance due and the donations clearly.
Note the article in Stuff in May – Target schools.
Note only 33% of parents claim donations from IRD.
There can be no fee or deposit to place an enrolment in a school.

12. Policy One Challenges Single proprietors.
Earthquake strengthening is a major challenge for single proprietors.
Policy One will never generate enough for small schools to manage property costs.
Can Policy One be shared?
Can clustering support our network viability ?

13. Webinars for Bursars!! Is there an interest?
