SPECIALIST TEACHING STAFF REDUCTIONS
865. Hon SUE ELLERY to the
Minister for Education:
I refer to savings strategies to reduce teacher full-time
equivalent allocations to schools of special education need, schools of
isolated and distance education, and the school of instrumental music.
(1) Of the
$2.3 million to be saved in the calendar year 2014, how much will be saved in
each of the three programs?
(2) For the same calendar year, what will be the projected
FTE reduction in each program?

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) Schools of
special education need, $1.15 million; schools of isolated and distance
education, $313 636; and the school of instrumental music $836 364. The $2.3 million
does not include changes associated with other strategies such as the tapered
base allocation or level 3 classroom teachers.
(2) Schools of
special education need, 11; schools of isolated and distance education, 3; and
the school of instrumental music, 8. There will be no reduction in overall
teacher FTE in 2014 as teachers are redistributed across the system.
