  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nFrom 1st April 1999, grant-maintained and grant-maintained special schools will be maintained by local education authorities (although authorities will not at first be under a duty to meet capital expenditure). On 1st April 1999 such a school will acquire a delegated budget under Chapter IV of Part II of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, unless the Secretary of State has determined, under Schedule 32 to that Act, that it should not. There is also provision in that Act for a governing body’s right to a delegated budget to be suspended.\nThese Regulations make provision similar to section 55 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 for the appointment and dismissal of staff, and the determination of the number of staff to be employed, at grant-maintained and grant-maintained special schools which do not have delegated budgets.\nThe provisions of these Regulations cease to apply on 1st September 1999, when the categories of grant-maintained school and grant-maintained special school will cease to exist, and such schools will be allocated to new categories under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.",
