The Simplifying School Budgets (SSB) support continues to roll out across the state. The vast majority of the SSB systems are operational and providing Principals with information to assist them to spend the government recurrent funding in the year it was provided. The SSB team is aware of some issues around leave, school counsellors and some staff movements. These are being worked on in the background to find a solution. If, you find a problem, please log it through EdConnect so that a record of issues is maintained. 

The critical item for attention is to ensure you have your staffing correct in eFPT. Use your variation reports to identify any anomalies and rectify. Corrections will be updated overnight and retrospective adjustments made to funding. 

The only funding that is required to be tracked is COVIDILSP funding. 

Following on from the face-to-face training there are optional 'drop-in' sessions for further support. These run until June 2^nd and can be accessed here 

There is a range of supports for Principals and Administration staff. Links are provided below.
