SCHOOLS — INDEPENDENT — STAFF REMOVAL
I refer to the minister’s independent schools announcement. (1) How will the principal of a school that has become independent go about moving on a permanent Department of Education and Training staff member whom he does not wish to retain? How will that differ from the current merit select school process, or will the same process apply? (2) What will happen when the department cannot find another suitable posting for that staff member? Dr E. CONSTABLE

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for Midland for the question regarding staffing in independent schools. (1)-(2) Principals in independent schools will be able to select their staff, as we know, and that is one of the flexibilities that we think is really important in the independent school process. Mrs M.H. Roberts : How’s that different from merit select? The SPEAKER : Order, member! Dr E. CONSTABLE : Principals will be able to look at the mix of staff they want, the subjects they are offering and the staff they think will be the best mix for their school, and they will be able to shape that staff. They will not be able to get rid of staff in the first instance, but as staff move on and as principals want to shape the staffing profile of that school, they will be able to do so by selecting their own staff. Mrs M.H. Roberts : How is that different from merit select, or isn’t it? Dr E. CONSTABLE : It is similar. Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. Dr E. CONSTABLE : Along with the staff and the school council, principals will be able to look at the staffing profile they want, and be able to select staff in their schools. Mr M. McGowan interjected. Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Midland and member for Rockingham! Dr E. CONSTABLE : It is quite straightforward. Without needing to repeat what I have just said, it is an essential ingredient in the independent school initiative to give principals and school councils the flexibility to choose the staff that is appropriate for their schools.
