Principals now have increased autonomy regarding how they spend their schools’ one-line budgets and how many Aboriginal Islander Education Officers (AIEO) they employ. Calendar year FTE levels will fluctuate from pay period to pay period. In particular, AIEO FTE levels are higher during term and lower during vacation.
A point in time for AIEO paid FTE and headcount in schools for each year is provided for the second pay period in June.
(a) as at 20 June 2013 – 452 FTE and 592 headcount
(b) as at 19 June 2014 – 383 FTE and 523 headcount
(c) as at 18 June 2015 – 363 FTE and 501 headcount
(d) as at 16 June 2016 – 353 FTE and 461 headcount
The FTE includes AIEO paid on the pay dates, including casuals. The headcount figures do not include casual employees.
