Staffing of Grant-maintained and Grant-maintained Special Schools (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 1999
From 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.
