Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $677,000 to $257.192 million for 2011/12. The increase in funding is mainly owing to a combination of:
- an increase in funding rates for school-based teacher aides ($1.212 million increase)
- changes in funding for the Positive Behaviour for Learning programme net of transfers to 2012/13 ($386,000 increase)
- increased provision for communications and learning services carried forward from the previous year ($235,000 increase)
- provision for managing a change programme for residential special schools ($200,000 increase)
- other changes to cost allocations between departmental output expense appropriations ($291,000 increase), and
- reallocation of resources between departmental output expense appropriations arising from the recommendations of the early childhood education taskforce and following establishment of the Student Achievement Function ($1.922 million decrease).
