A representative of the Borough Treasurer submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) which provided Schools Forum Members with a further update on the 2020/21 budget setting process for the total Schools’ Budget predominantly financed by deployment of the dedicated schools grant (DSG).

The following comments were made/issues raised:

·         Schools Forum Members were advised that the figure at point 4.2 regarding Maintained Nursery Schools should read £6.66 not £6.58 (i.e. they receive the 8p uplift like all other settings from April 2020).

·         A short discussion took place relating to an increase on copyright licensing.

RESOLVED (i) That the report be noted.

(ii) Schools Forum Members approved the updated CSSB resource allocations for 2020/21 as per Appendix 3.
