CLEANING AND GARDENING
414. Hon SUE ELLERY to the
Minister for Education:
I refer to the one-line budget for public schools and the
policy that applied prior to the introduction of the one-line budget, which was
that cleaning and gardening time was allocated according to a colour-coded map
of each school that identified the size and areas of the school to be cleaned
and to be gardened. What guidelines or policies apply now under the one-line
budget to maintain standards?
