DEECD has recognised the differential pay rises to different levels of teachers
A fund in model is being developed to address this issue
It will operate in a similiar way to past “transition” funding models – e.g the EGB to the SRP

Winners should not spend all profits on staffing to allow for increment creep in later years.
It is always best to be conservative with enrolment predictions and staffing levels until numbers are confirmed.
Be careful that special payments are not greater than leading teacher jobs unless roles are commensurate. (always difficult)
Refer to VASSP Top Ten Tips (TTT) Tip 9.

dialogue with AEU and staff and remember sometimes the fight is not worth having.
The Committee gives advice to the Principal.
If ‘it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ - if current processes are working well for you and the school confirm/update to ensure EBA obligations are met and move on.
Consultation processes can be agreed for 1 or more years, if happy with, lock in until 2011.
