Agenda item

The SACRE financial information as provided in the expenditure update was considered.  The figures showed expenditure of £4495 for the period.

Members expressed frustration that the information was limited and it was not clear what period the expenditure was for and how much of the SACRE budget remained available to support its activity.  It was agreed that the Chair would speak to the SACRE budget holder at the Council, Mr Kyriacou to seek clearer financial information to enable the committee to allocate its resources to achieve the objectives in the action plan.

Resolved –

(a)  That the financial update be noted.

(b)  That the Chair seek further information and clarity on the finances from the SBC Service Lead School Effectiveness who was the budget holder for SACRE.
