CHAPTER 3 redetermination of schools budgets, individual schools budgets, and schools' budget shares, for funding periods 1 and 2

Redetermination of schools budgets and individual schools budgets

11.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), a local education authority may make a redetermination of their schools budgets and their individual schools budgets for funding periods 1 and 2 at any time before or during the funding period to which those budgets relate.

(2) In making any such redetermination, the authority may only reduce the amount of their schools budgets where they receive an amount of Dedicated Schools Grant which is lower than the amount on which they based their initial determinations under regulation 7.

(3) A local education authority may not make deductions of any classes or descriptions of planned expenditure set out in Schedule 2 from their schools budgets which exceed the amount of any deductions they have made under regulation 7, unless they have obtained authorisation to make any such deduction from their schools forum or the Secretary of State under regulation 13.

(4) A local education authority may not—

(a) exceed the limit or exclude the condition imposed by paragraph 35 of Schedule 2, or

(b) exceed the limit imposed by Schedule 3

unless their schools forum or the Secretary of State enable those limits to be varied or that condition to be excluded under regulation 13.

(5) Where a local education authority makes a redetermination under paragraph (1), they must give notice of that redetermination to the governing bodies of the schools which they maintain.

Redetermination of allocation of budget shares for funding period 2

12.  Not later than 31st March 2007, a local education authority must redetermine any allocation of schools' budget shares under regulation 10(a) for funding period 2 in accordance with Part 3 of these Regulations.
