SCHOOL GOVERNING BODY The finance committee has prepared a budget which was approved by the School Governing Body. The budget has been prepared according to the process defined by the SGB Constitution and Standing Orders. The budget is being presented tonight according to the procedures outlined by the Gauteng Department of Education. 1 parent viewed the detailed budget that was available at the school. Questions will be allowed at the end of the presentation for the purpose of clarification w.r.t this presentation. 2
MAJOR EXPENSES – 4 Operational CATEGORIES Employ a Bursar, 1 Finance Clerk, 2 Admin clerks, and a Security Guard . Pay for services such as Administration System, water, electricity, telephones, printing newsletters, notes, tests and exams. Educational SGB employs 8 Educators and 10 teacher interns to compliment the 29 Educators employed by the GDE. This reduces class sizes and allows us to offer additional subjects. Budget for the payment of incentive and year end bonuses, monthly management allowances for Grade Heads and SMT (i.r.o. the management of SGB employees). Educators receive a negotiated (trade unions) increase. Budget for the cost of substitute teachers due to Maternity and Study Leave. Budget is allocated towards learning support material such as duplicating, text books, paper etc. Extra Mural Increased funding for additional coaches, the cost of transport to events, etc. Maintenance Employ a Grounds Supervisor and 7 support staff. Pay for cleaning consumables such as toilet paper, repairs and maintenance costs (which increase as our buildings age). 11
RATIONALE BEHIND EMPLOYING SGB EDUCATORS IN 2020 i.e. If we were to decide not to employ any SGB Educators: 3 x GDE posts would be allocated to the Principal, 2 x Deputies, 5 x HOD’s and 7 Grade Heads to allow them time for admin. This would mean that Post Level 1 Educators would have no admin periods! We would only have 26 Educators teaching. The scenario would be as follows: 12
Class sizes without SGB intervention No. of No. of Grade learners classes/ in grade Educators Class sizes 1 160 4 4 x 40 2 160 4 4 x 40 3 160 4 4 x 40 4 160 4 4 x 40 5 160 4 4 x 40 6 160 3 2 x 53 & 1 x 54 7 160 3 2 x 53 & 1 x 54 TOTAL 1 120 26 Average of 43 learners/class 13
In order to prevent the previous scenario, we propose that the SGB employs the following staff: 8 SGB Educators and 10 SGB Teacher Interns allocated as follows: 4 x Educators to cover Grades 5,6,& 7 and to enable SMT & Grade Heads’ admin periods. 3 x Educators dedicated to teaching 1 x Class Music, 1 x Creative Arts , and 2 x Physical Education. These employees will further enable Educators’ admin periods. 1 x HOD Extra-Curricular Activities to co-ordinate and manage the Physical Education program and all extra-curricular activities. 10 x Teacher Interns deployed as follows: 2 x Gr1, 1 each in Gr 2 – 7 and 1 to assist with FP isiZulu (SAL) & 1 to assist with FP PE, in order to assist the relevant Educators to cope with larger class sizes. 14
In employing the above Educators, we aim to assist the Educators with class management, marking assessments, etc. No. of learners No. of Current class sizes Grade currently in classes/ grade Educators 1 160 4 4 x 40 + 2 Teachers’ assistants 2 160 4 4 x 40 + Teachers’ assistant 3 160 4 4 x 40 + Teachers’ assistant 4 160 4 4 x 40 + Teachers’ assistant 5 160 4 4 x 40 + Teachers’ assistant 6 160 4 4 x 40 + Teachers’ assistant 7 160 4 4 x 40 + Teachers’ assistant TOTALS 1 120 28 Average of 40 learners/class 15

Vote 38
9.3.5 PROCEDURES WITH REGARDS TO THE GRANTING OF EXEMPTIONS Based on combined gross annual income of both biological parents. (Irrespective of their marital status) Not based on nett income or take home pay. The decision to grant full exemption, or partial exemption or no exemption from paying fees is based solely on the application of the approved formula and exemption tables. A person who has a child in foster care, placed in a place of safety, orphan, etc. automatically qualifies for full exemption. (Provided that legal documented proof is submitted) 39
GRANTING OF EXEMPTIONS The Governing Body must apply the following formula when considering the application for exemption: E= (F + A) x 100 C Where: E = Exemption level F = Annual school fees that a school charges any parent in terms of section 39 of the Act A = Additional monetary contributions explicitly demanded by school C = Combined gross annual income of parents 100 = The answer arrived at on the right-hand side of the equation is multiplied by 100 so as to convert it into percentage in order to determine E. 40
GRANTING OF EXEMPTIONS If E is equal to or less than 2, the parents qualifies for no exemption. If E is less than 10%, then the parents may qualify for partial exemption. If E is equal to or more than 10%, the parents qualify for total exemption. 41
GRANTING OF EXEMPTIONS It is proposed that the following procedure be adopted when receiving, evaluating and granting / declining a parent’s application for the exemptions from paying the annual school fees: The prescribed form “Annexure B” as per Regulation 29311 must be completed by parents as follows: When Widowed : One application form need to be completed with the necessary documentation required.(refer Regulation 29311) Divorced/Married/Seperated/Single Paticulars of both parents are required irrespective of their marital status as they are jointly and severally responsible for the payment of school fees. (refer Regulation 29311) 42
GRANTING OF EXEMPTIONS The application form and accompanying documents must be sealed in an envelope addressed to the Bursar and must be delivered to the finance department by hand or registered post. The Governing Body would prefer to have exemption applications by the end of April each year. Incomplete application forms received and/or those without the required documentation will be returned to the applicant. The SGB Chairperson and SGB Treasurer will evaluate each application by applying relevant legislation and regulations before granting or declining an application Applicants will be informed via email, or in writing by the School Governing Body of the outcome of their application. If a school governing body has granted a parent exemption and later obtains information that the financial position of the parent has since changed substantially, the Governing Body may – (a) reconsider the decision to grant exemption; and (b) amend the amount that the parent must pay from the date on which the change took place. (c) All applications received for exemptions, are subject to credit checks. • Vote 47
