Regulation 24 Additional provisions for redeterminations in relation to the financial years beginning on 1st April 1999, 1st April 2000 or 1st April 2001: Former grant-maintained or grant-maintained special schools

(1)

A local education authority may redetermine a former grant-maintained or grant-maintained special school’s budget share for the financial year beginning on 1st April 2003 to take into account changes in that school’s non-domestic rates liability or to correct errors in data supplied by the head teacher or governing body of the school, by reference to which the school’s budget share for the financial year beginning on 1st April 1999, the financial year beginning on 1st April 2000 or the financial year beginning on 1^st April 2001 was determined if–

(a)

such matters have not already been taken into account in any determination or re-determination of that school’s budget share for any financial year or financial years;

(b)

such re-determination as is proposed could have been made in the financial year beginning on 1^st April 1999 (or, as the case may be, either the financial year beginning on 1^st April 2000 or on 1^st April 2001) in accordance with the 1999 Regulations (or, as the case may be, the 2000 Regulations or the Financing of Maintained Schools (England) (No 2) Regulations 2000 or the 2001 Regulations).

(2)

In so far as a determination under paragraph (1) would require the amount that would otherwise be the budget share of the school to be reduced, it may not be reduced by an amount greater than the amount by which the school’s budget share for the financial year beginning on 1^st April 1999 (or, as the case may be, either the financial year beginning on 1^st April 2000 or the financial year beginning on 1^st April 2001) determined in accordance with regulation 18 (transitional funding) of the 1999 Regulations (or, as the case may be, regulation 18 (transitional funding) of the 2000 Regulations or regulation 20 (transitional funding) of the 2001 Regulations) could have been reduced.

(3)

In so far as a determination under paragraph (1) would require the amount that would otherwise be the budget share of a former grant-maintained or grant-maintained special school to be increased, there shall be deducted from that increase any amount for transitional funding determined in respect of the school in the financial year beginning on 1st April 1999 (or, as the case may be, either the financial year beginning on 1^st April 2000 or the financial year beginning on 1^st April 2001) under regulation 18 (transitional funding) of the 1999 Regulations (or, as the case may be, regulation 18 (transitional funding) of the 2000 Regulations or regulation 20 (transitional funding) of the 2001 Regulations).
