(1) The difference between the School Support Services 2009-10 Budget of $204.9m and the 2009-10 Estimated Actual of $116.3m is primarily attributable to the reclassification of the Building the Education Revolution School Pride program. This program was reclassified from School Support Services in the 2009-10 Budget to Other Expenses in the 2009-10 Estimated Actual.
(2) An appropriation of $5m has been allocated to the Curriculum Council for expenditure in the first half of the 2011 calendar year for the preparatory stage of implementation.
