Answer— The computer system used in the Local and Children’s Courts does not enable the Department to determine how many times and when and where Part Two of the Children (Protection and Parental Responsibility) Act 1997 has been used to bring parents before the courts. *2543 POLICE STATION MAINTENANCE—Mr Debnam to Minister for Police— For 2003/2004 what was the actual amount spent on maintenance at each police station?

(2) Did the Minister agree in debate on the motion in November 2002 to implement a review of the formula that determines the staffing levels of country schools? (3) If so, why has the department not undertaken a review of the small rural schools formula? (4) When can country schools in NSW expect a review of the small rural schools formula to commence and be completed? (5) What administrative duties does the Department of Education and Training expect teachers and principals in small rural schools to perform in the absence of school administrative and support staff? Answer— The allocation of teaching staff and of school administrative and support staff in NSW government schools is in accordance with formulae established to distribute resources equitably across the State. The formulae have been weighted historically to provide additional resources to small schools, many of which are in isolated and rural areas. The Government’s Class Size Reduction Program will deliver benefits to primary schools. The Program will continue to be implemented up to 2007 to reduce the average class sizes for kindergarten, year one and year two to 20, 22 and 24 students respectively. Small schools with a student enrolment of between 26 and 159 students will gain further benefits in progressive class size reduction. Schools who have a K-6 enrolment between 21 and 25 students or 51 and 52 students will receive an additional entitlement of one hour per week for each kindergarten, year one and year two students as the Class Size Reduction Program is implemented, up to a maximum of 15 hours per week. Principals in small schools are provided with additional relief days to support the school’s operation. In addition, schools with enrolments of 50 or fewer students have received an additional day per week school administrative and support staffing allocation. *2546 SCHOOL MAINTENANCE BACKLOG—Mr Pringle to Deputy Premier, Minister for Education and Training, and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs— (1) What projects in the electorate of Hawkesbury are included in the $124 million School Maintenance Backlog identified by the Auditor General?
