SCHOOLS PLUS PROGRAM
I ask a supplementary question. If a student is enrolled at a government school but also does some of his or her schooling at a non-government school, where does that extra money go? Does it go simply back to Treasury or consolidated revenue? Mr M. McGOWAN

AnswerView source ↗

I think the question the member is asking is somewhat redundant, in that under this program, we have actually massively increased the amount of resources going towards students with disabilities. In fact, under this program, we have actually employed thousands of additional aides to assist us with students with disabilities and additional needs. The efforts - Mr T. Buswell interjected. Mr M. McGOWAN : I am talking about students with disabilities, member for Vasse. We have put additional resources into this program; that is, as I have said, additional aides. The member for Greenough obviously has a case study. If the member would like to pass on the details of that case study, as always I will ensure that the member’s case study is followed up promptly.
