Minutes:
The Schools Forum considered a report on the 2017/18 DSG and funding arrangements for 2018/19.
Points and comments included:
· Paragraph 14 of the report included a breakdown of the distribution of 2017/18 DGS and latest recoupment costs based on Academy conversions as requested by members of the Forum.
· The deadline for local authorities to submit the final APT for 2018/19 was 19 January 2018. Approval of the submission was still awaited. The AWPU figure consulted on had increased slightly; however it should be recognised that if schools characteristics and pupil numbers changed, this would impact the numbers provided in the model.
RESOLVED
1. that the update to the 2017/18 DSG and funding arrangements for 2018/19 be noted.
2. that the retention centrally for 2018/19; Admissions £313,004, School forum servicing £3,000 and a contribution to the responsibilities that the LA holds for all schools £612,216 be approved.
