Changes to staffing during the year
Boards may request changes to their staffing during the year as a result of roll growth.
Before any increase is approved, the increased permanent daily roll must have been maintained at the higher level for two school weeks (10 school days) or a lesser time approved by the Manager of the Ministry of Education local office or the Manager, Resourcing Division.
Roll increases will not be considered after 2 December.
Staffing recalculation
Where there is an increase in a school’s roll, and the conditions around
enrolment are met, staffing will be recalculated using the new roll.
Use of staffing increase
The following rules apply when staffing increases as a result of roll
growth:
- Appointments to any additional entitlement staffing generated by
a roll increase during the year may only be made on a fixed term basis.
- Any additional salary units, Middle Management Allowances (MMAs)
and Senior Management Allowances (SMAs) generated by a roll increase
during the year may only be allocated on a fixed term basis.
- Where a school is supported by the GMFS or Assured staffing, new
enrolments must be managed within the GMFS or Assured staffing being
provided. Once the GMFS or Assured staffing is absorbed by roll increases,
increases to staffing will apply in the normal way.
- An increase to the staffing roll after 1 March will not lift the
restriction on making permanent appointments for those schools whose
confirmed staffing notice states that they must request the
consent of the Resourcing Division, before making any further permanent
appointments. This requirement remains in force for the whole of the
school year.
In the case of secondary and composite schools the Ministry, prior
to agreeing to an increase in the roll, may undertake an audit of the
school roll.
