Every council has a schools’ forum, that a Local education authority (LEA) has to consult with on all financial matters affecting schools.
The forum takes decisions regarding:
- Management of the schools' budget
- Agreement of central expenditure limits
- Changes to budget share formulae
- Amendments to the scheme for financing schools
- Contractual arrangements affecting schools.
The constitution of the forum comprises elected members, head teachers, governors and the professional associations.
