Stockport Governor Association

At the GOVAS/SMBC Governor Finance Information Meeting on January 30^th, Simon Finch and Peter Hughes, from SMBC`s school finance team, gave presentations about the financial situation for schools in Stockport for 2012/13.  You can link to their presentation here

Governors` views are wanted on some aspects of distribution of Individual School Budgets and financial reserves.  These views will feed into proposals to be made to the Schools Forum in March.  You can find more information, and a feedback form to complete here 

If you want more information about the proposals and costs, you will find details of the Retained School Budget (the money retained by the Local Authority to provide central services) here  Or you can find out about proposals for Individual School Budgets on the Schools Forum page of Stockport`s website.  Go to http://democracy.stockport.gov.uk/ieListMeetings.aspx?CommitteeId=159  , choose 31 Jan 2012 then Documents to Follow and go to Agenda Item 7.

This is a chance to influence some of the funding which will come to your school.  Please look at the information and complete the form by February 7^th
