KANGAROO ISLAND COMMUNITY EDUCATION

In reply to Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (6 May 2010).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Education, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Science and Information Economy): Above entitlement leadership funding has been provided in the past to multi or dual campus schools. This extra funding was provided as an additional supplementation payment to their normal school entitlement. Following the introduction of the new Student Centred Funding Model, this extra funding will not be provided to these schools from the commencement of the 2011 school year.

The new Student Centred Funding Model (SCFM) will provide Kangaroo Island Community Education with more income in 2011 compared with what it would have received had the previous funding model been retained in 2011.
