A representative of the Borough Treasurer submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) which provided Schools Forum members with an update on the current budget position relating to deployment of the dedicated schools grant (DSG).

The following comments were made/issues raised:

·         Members of the Forum were advised that key matters relating to schools and high needs block activities were subject to any further announcements due following the recent Stage 2 consultations.

·         A query was raised in relation to Resourced Provision funding model and programme of works timeframe.  In response, members were advised that this strand of the programme was expected to commence in autumn 2017 and continue potentially until autumn 2018 with any planned changes to take effect from April or September 2019.

RESOLVED (i) That the report be noted.

(ii) That a further update was to be provided in due course, as appropriate.
