FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT POSITIONS
283. Hon SUE ELLERY to the
Minister for Education:
For the 2015 school year in all WA public schools, what is
the number of FTE for:
(a) education assistants;
(b) registrars;
(c) cleaners;
(d) gardeners; and
(e) any other non-teaching staff?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
Commencing in 2015, principals have increased autonomy
regarding how they spend their one-line budgets and how many staff they employ.
FTE levels fluctuate during the school year from pay to pay. For the 12 March
2015 pay period, total paid FTE levels in schools were as follows —
(a) 6 996 FTE;
(b) 3 601 FTE, being all other non-teaching staff, including
registrars;
(c) 1 840 FTE;
(d) 608 FTE; and
(e) 3 601 FTE, being all other
non-teaching staff, including registrars.
