Dear Ministry of Education,

 

Please supply the following information under the Official Information Act
(OIA) :

 

- Correspondence between the Ministry of Education Wellington Regional
office and National Office between January 2021 and October 2024 regarding
the correct and incorrect application of policy in relation to what the
total hours allocation covers for Out of Hours Music Centres. This will
include discussion about when it was realised that Wellington and other
regions were calculating administration hours as separate to tutor hours,
instead of including both types of hours as part of the total allocation.

- Correspondence and documents from the same time period discussing how
any overspend in relation to code 11240 had been accounted for over the
past 10 years.

-  A copy of the in-depth analysis of the programme budget and wage spend,
which revealed many schools were claiming more hours than they had been
allocated.

- Correspondence and documents relating to the recent decision to inform
Wellington Region host schools that total hours include both tutor and
administration hours, and the approach to take.

- Any briefings to the Minister regarding the above, and the Minister's
responses.

 

If you need any more information from me please let me know as soon as
possible.

I understand that a decision on a request for information under the OIA
should be made within 20 working days of receiving that request

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Marilyn Hunt
