Subject: 2017/18 Budget Statement No.1 - Broxburn Academy - [OFFICIAL]
DATA LABEL: OFFICIAL
Please find attached your revenue budget statement for financial year
2017/18.
This information has been copied to your Area Business Support Manager, to
whom any queries should be referred to in the first instance.
I would like to bring your attention to the following:
* School rolls are based on actual pupil rolls for April - July, in
line with 2015 Scottish Government census figures, and projected rolls for
August - March are based on information provided by Pupil Placement
including an assessment of the anticipated stay on rates for S5 & S6.
* The tolerance threshold to be applied to projected roll figures
(on publication of 2017 Scottish Government census figures) will be 1%.
* The DSM linear model has been adjusted to reflect the approved
Delivering Better Outcomes budget reduction.
The following changes have been agreed with effect from 1 April 2017.
* Use of Premises budgets have been removed from DSM budgets.
* SQA budgets have been updated as per S4, S5 and S6 rolls with no
change from 2015/16.
* Secondary schools shared Guitar Instructors may now be recorder in
the teachers tab not additional payments.
* 2017/18 DBO reductions - Schools to cover full cost of any
Chartered Teachers employed.
* Supernumerary staff budget will be devolved to school on an ad hoc
basis.
* The allocation of additional teaching resources to focus on
narrowing the attainment gap will continue and is included in your
additional teaching budget allocation
* The Staffing Performance Factor revised for 2017/18. This
negative budget will apply to all staff savings with the exception of those
in posts where statutory ratios apply i.e. teachers/ nursery.
The following changes have been agreed with effect from August 2017.
* Chartered Teachers to be recorded at actual salary cost from
August 2017 and will therefore require two entries on the school staffing
system. First entry will be as normal on the teacher sheet with a second
entry required on the Chartered teachers sheet to record the cost over and
above the average teaching salary as per teachers actual salary.
Probationers
Probationer budgets are subject to confirmation of final probationer numbers
and have yet to be allocated to schools. Please note that from August
budgets will be allocated as follows:
* Schools will receive an additional 0.28 FTE top up funding to meet
non-class contact time (0.18 FTE) and mentoring (0.1 FTE) arrangements.
* Budgets for 0.1FTE mentoring are allocated at the basic probationer
salary rate and exclude on costs.
* Schools receiving fully funded probationers will receive 1.1 FTE
funding to meet the cost of the probationer and mentoring time.
* Schools part-financing a pointage probationer, will receive
appropriate top-up funding so that the school funded element plus top-up
funding equates to 1.1 FTE.
Pupil Equity Funding (PEF)
This project will be monitored centrally by the Pupil Equity Funding Manger
Yvonne McDonald who will provide guidance to schools for the project and
will be responsible for staffing, monitoring expenditure and reporting for
PEF. Funding will be monitored within a new school cost centre and will not
impact on DSM budgets or outturns.
Revenue Budget Monitoring
FMU will work with Area Business Support Mangers throughout the year to
review the financial position and projected out-turn within secondary
schools at period 4, 6 & 9 (July, September & December), in line with the
councils approved budgetary control framework and procedures. It is intended
that FMU will meet with Area Business Support Managers in June prior to the
summer vacation to review staffing information for the academic year 2017/18
and to assist in the preparation of an initial forecast. This information
will be used to complete the corporate budget realignment exercise for
financial year 2017/18.
I would be obliged if you could ensure that your Parent Council receive a
copy of the enclosed statement. If you have any queries in relation to the
budget for 2017/18, please raise these matters with your Area Business
Support Manager who will liaise with FMU.
