The Canberra Times brings word that Andrew Barr is considering paying parents encourage them to get involved with school boards.
- He said he was ”not suggesting directors’ fees a la company board of management, but it might be worth considering tying in some money to make a broader range of parents participate and to recognise that there is often a cost to giving up time for volunteering such as having to get alternative child care.”Schools would need to fund honorariums from within their own budgets as allocated under school- based management.
Anyone care to elaborate as to what it is school boards actually do?
