Review of the Use of the Principal Support Funds [the $50m]
Many thanks to the 669 principals who responded to this survey. Vice President Ian Reeson spent time recently analysing the full set of data and breaking it down into the various principal classification categories to note any differences in usage. He presented this to Term 2 State Council and delegates have access to the power point and should show this at your next meeting.

Our position, canvassed at State Council, is that we want this funding to remain as a flexible allocation, so we can determine, in our contexts, what this the best way to support us in our role. There was discussion that the smaller schools would like more funding, which we will take forward in our discussions.
