[Year 12 IT Apps] ot: Gillard Money?

[WEIR Andrew]

Mark,

The only thing I have heard is that Gillard will honour 70% of the
replacement costs. If she gets back into power.

Also 1:1 funding conditions are slightly different from government to
catholic schools. We have got funding for 1:1 to purchase another 381
units, but some of this is CEO backed.

Please note this is not confirmed advice just is occurring in our
situation.

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] ot: Gillard Money?

 

Hi all.  By the end of 2011, DEECD expects Vic government schools to
have a 1:1 computer:student ratio (for students in years 9-12).
We have our NSSCF (Rudd money) ratio of 1:2 already sorted, but to get
to 1:1 we need to get another 500 computers.

I have heard nothing about additional NSSCF or DEECD money to double our
computer fleet, yet I am supposed to have a 2011 ICT budget finished by
this time next month.

Has anyone heard even a rumour of funding?  I certainly do not plan to
get our school to pay for it, only to have federal or state funding
announced (say) in Easter, and not be able to claim it because we
already had reached the mandated ratio.

Grrr!
