# The Education (Grant-maintained and Grant-maintained Special Schools) (Finance) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 1998, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Grant-maintained and Grant-maintained Special Schools) (Finance) (Wales) Regulations 1997 which provide (amongst other things) for the determination of the amount of maintenance grant to be paid to the governing bodies of grant-maintained and grant-maintained special schools.
Regulation 2 substitutes a new regulation 10(2) of the 1997 Regulations which clarifies the definition of the multiplier representing the number of days for which free meals are provided.
Regulation 3 removes a possible ambiguity from regulation 13 of the 1997 Regulations in respect of severance payments which are wholly improper.
Schedule 1 to the 1997 Regulations is amended so that net, rather than gross, expenditure on paid meals will henceforth normally be taken into account for the purposes of determining the relevant percentage (subject to provision for cash protection)—see regulation 4.
