Autumn 2004 CFS Consultation
In September 2004 the Department undertook a consultation exercise with all schools, and partner bodies on the "Proposed Common Funding Scheme (CFS) for the Local Management of Schools".
The consultation documentation was distributed to all grant-aided schools by the Education and Library Boards for controlled and maintained schools, and by the Department for voluntary grammar and grant-maintained integrated schools.
Consultation packs included copies of the Proposed Common Funding Scheme, a Response Form and a copy of the Equality Impact Assessment undertaken following the earlier consultation on proposals for a Common Funding Formula in April 2001.
Funding Authorities were also provided with 'Indicative Budget Statements' for issue to their respective schools.
