Regulation 5 Individual schools budget

A local education authority may deduct from their local schools budget any or all of the classes or descriptions of planned expenditure set out in Schedule 1, in whole or in part, in order to arrive at their individual schools budget for the financial year.

Where proposals to discontinue a school have been published and it is proposed that those proposals should be implemented in the financial year, a local education authority may deduct from their local schools budget for that year the same classes or descriptions of planned expenditure in respect of that school which they deducted from their local schools budget for the financial year beginning on 1st April 1999 even if such deduction is not permitted by paragraph (1) above.
