The schools budget is described in regulation 2.\nSchedule 2 provides for a limit on the expenditure which may be deducted by the authority from the schools budget.\nSchedule 3 specifies the nature of the planned expenditure which an authority may deduct from the schools budget in order to arrive at their individual schools budget for that financial year.
