A representative of the Borough Treasurer submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing the final details of the 2017/18 Total Schools Budget constructed and financed predominantly by deployment of the dedicated schools grant (DSG).

Under the current forecast the 2018/19 budget would require £800k of savings and/or use of reserves and it was planned that the DSG Review Group would reconvene in the summer term to address the short term sustainability issue.

RESOLVED – (1) That the report be noted.

(2) That the Borough Treasurer be requested to arrange a further meeting of the DSG Review Group and invite all Schools Forum representatives and head teacher representatives to share it with their wider consortia groups as appropriate.
